Though despite the prior comment, Kinetic Cutting Beams are a good part of a cannon or beam build due to their strange versatility.
Also only having special consoles in the tac consoles is gonna gimp your build a bit.
Edit: You've also mixed a mkx ii maco shield with a mk xi engine so you're not gonna get the 2 set bonus. If possible get the mk xii engine.

did you not notice the dual beam bank?
I did miss it, my bad. Then as setheweavile alluded to I'd drop it for another dhc and swap beam overload for another scatter volley.
Also check the edit i made to my previous post for another point.

i almost always mix beams and cannons. works well for me.
i chose so many different weapons because it looks awsome when fireing and it works very well.
thanks for your opinion though
about the maco, i am running the projects for the deflector and engine but i got tired of the borg grind but some day i will get them

Rsp doff. And whatever you want. You could get 3 damage control doffs to swap a eptw to epte or epts if you wanted.
Didn't i.clude marion as I don't think you have the cash...you may as you have the jhdc and the jhas
Your build was everywhere. The one I link will improve your dps/survivability ten fold.
I prefer beta over omega...boosts the team's dps plus it has a better uptime

Man, I hate seeing this...you don't need much to do this game, but I see this as a cry for help....havent seen someone that said this and did not have a poorly built ship...and after they try a properly built version of their build...they wonder how they could be so blind.

i personally dislike that build. weapons wise, when i play i can only enjoy the game if i think my ship looks cool in combat and the tons of different effects from all these different weapons just look awsome when firering
trust me, its not a cry for help, i love my ship the way it is and have been using this setup for a long time (used regular AP before the voth came)
btw what is a marion?
Got to ask, if it's not a cry for help why ask for help?
Bleed Green and Gold
i did not ask for help i asked for opinions. i am curious as to what people think of my ship
But ya, you really don't need much to beat the game unless your doing nws...so fly the ship the way you want to fly, have fun, if you ever find blowing stuff up fun. Try my build out....i guarantee you'll have lots of "fun" :cool:
Here's my opinion; since this is what you want, on a scale of 10 for dps/survival ...I'd give it a 3.5.
Lots of "hiccups," besides the obvious mixing if weapons.

id just wish they would add the voth stuff to skillplaner soon! im the kind of guy who if i have to describe something im gonna do it right!
That set still messes up the damage potential by leaving all the Universal Consoles in the Tactical Console Tray
still runs very well though
if you need 5 turnrate consoles...you just know subconciously that you may need a ship with more than just 7 turnrate.
Personally, I'd move the Gravimetric Torpedo to the front of the ship. You have two torpedo abilities slotted, you can't use them as often if your only torpedo is on the aft section of your ship. If you have the time, I'd also pick up the Obelisk Warp Core and Omnidirectional Beam Array from the Sphere of Influence mission. The two items together provide a set bonus, +10% antiproton damage. You may also wish to consider changing out the Dual Cannon for another Dual Heavy cannon, their firing cycle allows more efficient use of weapon power.
Now on the topic of sets, I'd suggest running the full MACO set while dropping Plasmonic leech. Or at the very least I'd use the standard MACO shield, as it provides a power bonus very similar to the effects of the leech console (they do not stack however).
I'd also drop both Field Generator consoles. Field Generators are more or less about absorbing spike, after that you want to have abilities to heal back the shields. The Dreadnought carrier has a 1.1 shield modifier, which is more than enough to absorb heavy hits. To compliment this, I suggest slotting Hazard Emitters I and Transfer Shield Strength II in the Science slots. Other than that, in the ensign science slot I'd either use Polarize Hull I or Science Team I. Another idea for you would be to run Emergency Power to Shield I and Auxiliary to Structural Integrity Field I instead of Engineering Team I and Emergency Power to Shields II. Aux2SIF has a much shorter cooldown than Engineering Team and Aux2SIF also provides a damage resistance boost. If you need additional shield healing, Shield Distribution officers with +Shield healing with brace for impact is a great choice.
Next, I would suggest moving those universal consoles into the science console slots in order to toss on 2-4 +Antiproton damage consoles in the tactical section. Lastly, I'd slot 1-3 projectile weapon officers to help reduce your gravimetric torpedo's cooldown.
Beams and Cannons can and do work well together. In fact, there is a website full of videos with Thissler blowing up players with Dual Heavy Cannons, a Dual Beam Bank, and Quantum Torpedoes with an Aft mine launcher. https://alphastrikers.com/
You like running builds with all of the same weapon, good for you. It just goes to show you like cookie cutter builds. However, don't go ripping on niche builds or unique setups. Such setups aren't terrible, they can be effective in the right hands.
In my opinion, there is nothing more dull than popping two copies of 4 abilities and pressing them over and over throughout the match while watching 8 beams/cannons blow things up. It's why I enjoy science vessels the most, there is a lot more variety. Star Trek Online is a game. It's designed to be enjoyable and interesting for the player, not a damage per second race. Do some players hate the game so much they focus all of their energies killing things as fast as possible? I'm starting to wonder if that is indeed the case.

My builds aren't cookie cutter. Their optimized...sorry for being proficient. Actually, no I'm not...
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
but your build is just doubling up on boff abilities...nothing wrong with that, but on a ship that is capable of using a2b build to double up boff abilities, the smart thing is to go with a2b.
good boff layout? sure...optimized? just in your opinion.
there is a reason why those cookie cutter builds ARE cookie cutter builds...because they are optimized. If they weren't they wouldn't be all over the place.
slapping set items on your ship because they have set powers or whatever, in reality is gimping your ship...
for instance: the elite fleet warp engine with [amp] adds more to a build than any set with boni would give.
same with the shields
considering that many, many fleet give out invites to buy those items from their bases, NOT having access to high tier starbase isn't an argument either.
Right, it is "in my opinion." Wasn't saying that is was the optimum build. But the build I posted was optimized to provide more dps and survivability then the build the op posted
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
that is why i have build my ship this way, i went for as much extra hull/shield hit points as posible.
dps is not amazing but it is without a doubt enough for taking on 1 bulwark 3 bastions and 6 palisades all at one time. to some people that might seem overly easy but to me it makes me feel like a badass :cool:
