    WAAAAA overpowered, WAAA you ever stop to think it was what the person was running as a build OR maybe your build needs help. Stop complaining and how about asking the person what their build is and what they are running on it. Unreal.. where are the pacifiers for the remaining of this thread.


    ...This is the best one yet! Never happy about anything...besides, "subjected to change", I read that somewhere, oh yeah on the STO forums...Over Powered!? I agree, Unreal...I got them pacifiers if anyone needs one. LM...I just puked from laughing so hard at this thread!

    I know the ship isnt OP, but it is certainly OA (over armored), it has a s much hull (regular version) as the fleet support, and the advanced version has more than any other ship......

    Aside from that the ship is perfectly fine

    Here's two of them. And there were a few more.

    My hat off to you good sir. Nicely done OP.

    Dude, did you not see the [serious] tags? I figured out the OP was being silly on page one.

    This isn't aimed at you, Starsword.

    4 pages of posts, and butthurt is everywhere, lol.

    I honestly thought Obby was a half-decent nickname for this oceanliner. I like it, don't get me wrong, but it's a big ocean liner.

    It's the younger brother of that big cruise ship from The 5th Element.

    Lol for a moment I wondered since when I've commented on this post.
    Btw Obelisk is a beauty, just wondering if dual Atb build will suit this ship. I'm imagining a faw1, attack pattern beta 1 and tb repulsors 2 (with 5aux power) for firepower.

    Leave it as it is. The only over powered ship I can think of right now are the shuttlecraft in this game. Can put any console from a big ship on them , and can destroy a D'deridex , mogai and bird of prey in the mission , The Vault . So nerf them first. And if you don't like it don't fly it , it's is as simple as that

    Lack of tactical on the ship is a bit TRIBBLE from my view coming from a tac orientated player. Im trying this on my engie like as i was sick of the armitage and since i have on my main the jem dread fully kitted and kicks bum i thought id try the new carrier on my eng alt. So far im not really doing much damage even with good stuff. Managed to get the turn rate to 10 tho and using aux to damp it can go to 14 i think so that a2d is kinda a replacment for omega since i cant use omega on this (grrrr).

    Thought with it being ap orientated id try ap setup. Nice beams but duno if there as good as my phased pols on my jem dread. But its a new ship ill experiment a little on her. I wana get her as close to my 12k jem dread as i can like but most i think ill manage might be about 8k if that, tho i suppose i should do a check of my dps on ise to see what im really dishing out.

    I could do a2b setup but rather not as id like to have decent aux for healing my ship rather than spamming low power heals and recycles of powers.

    Anyone yet found a decent build of this then?

    Its a 6 weapon eng carrier that turns about as fast as a cruiser sitting still, with no real tactical ability. Faw kills the drones, and everything can stay behind it. What's op'd about this?

    Try a single atb build with photonic officer, tech doffs and photonics - its not as powerful, but the reduction can prove quite effective, I've found

    ...of course if you run two eptxs, you'll have to decide between three techs and two damage or the other way around - lowered cd versus chance of epte cycle failure

    I used Dual Atb, faw1 + apb1, tbr2 and elite scorpions. Gave me an average of 12 to 14k dps in ISE.

    ... On the same note, I forgot whether the swarmers could be equipped on other carriers. I personally think it'd be fair to reserve it for the Obelisk alone though.

    The standard and advanced versions currently available through the mission are Obelisk-only. The Dev blog said that the Advanced and Elite pets available through the Spire Fleet Holding would be usable on any ship with a hangar, though.
    Forget the possibility of PvP, for so much has become pay-to-win, never to be balanced. Forget the promise of exploration and research, for in the grim dark future of Star Trek Online there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting publishers.

    I heard some people broke the 1K dps with the ship. That's crazy. Some players are trying to make D'kyr + obe team, and they can put some crazy DPS. The a2b+dem and escort era as ended, D'kyr and Obe will rule now.


    I always laugh when I think this ship was designed as a tank, when he doesn't have enough DPS to take aggro over someone else pets. Except if you pay 800lobis for a console.
    And the ship have totally OP BOFF (I love you Worf) and really powerful weapons to have some DPS during the Sphere of Influence mission. Otherwise, nobody would use it.

    My Galaxy Dread almost broke 3K DPS once, and I've sunk a lot of time and resources into that ship!
    At this rate, Obbies will pass me and that'll be another ship that kicks my TRIBBLE. Dammit.

    Obby is SO nerf.

    Sarcasm or not i will focus on the Obelisk.
    It's all down to the build. I have seen builds which could barely destroy the probes in vortex elite, but i have also seen builds with incredible damage output.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I could not keep myself from this ship. it is OP, and seems there is no fix coming, so I gave in and started to use it. and it is stupidly powerful. on my first run, I broke my all time 6k DPS record with subpar ultra rare gear...

    this ship used with the ship name exploit basically kills the game. no wonder it is put behind lobi, instead of straight away cashing in on it through zen

    Yeah, here we go again... try the truth test....

    1. Take it into 'The Hive' Elite and see if you and your team can complete it.

    If so, go to step 2.

    2. Take it into Kerrat space.

    Chances are you won't get beyond step 1 which means it's not OP.
