Out of my 7 alts, I only bother looking into buying DOFFs for active duty, grinding up the reputations, and investing in endgame gear for one. She's an Engineer in a Fleet Defiant, and the l33t gamer kiddies give me grief about her.
[System] Link has been on active duty for 415 days, 23 hours, 9 minutes, 16 seconds.
[System] Zelda has been on active duty for 126 days, 11 hours, 51 minutes, 48 seconds.
I had one or two, my original APharma and my original(now deleted) KDF but I stopped when starbases came along, then looked at all the extra lockbox stuff and thought "lol, that's going to be a mess to get back into" and here I am not PvPing.
I may hop into Kerrat once a month or help explain game concepts to new players in my fleet via 1v1 but outside of that I don't touch it.
As a general rule, all of the shps on my 7 toons are designed to be capable of participating in PVP (TT1x2, EPtSx2, [Acc]x2, etc), although there are a couple of ships that I dont feel confident with. I dont keep them all DOFF'd and everything, but they all have end-game gear (mostly). All of my toons have done it at some time or another, some have even won, not frequently though.
Ive got 5 chars i did make ine of my kdf chars for pvp but i got sick of the wait fora pvp mission to start last time i queued i was waiting 20 mins and no mission poped even tho it said 15 people were in the queue so ive given up.
would have had 3, then i realised my half-geared tac outspecked a fully geared engie.
at that moment i said "so thats how pvp works here" and invested in ship slots & reset the skills for generalised solo pve, rather than play at a table with weighted dice.
Thats only true if your pugging all the time and trying to rack up big scoreboard numbers.
Engi is painful to Pve With I will admit to that... its why I can't bring myself to do the rep on my own.
Still in a team situation ... you want one well played Engi Healer.
Just before S7, would have been four. I rerolled those four for S7. Before LoR? Two. Since LoR...none. Willard has "cost" more than the other eight combined, but he's still sporting a crappy Core, craptastic Neut, and crapfail Tac consoles. Wish there was an Obelisk Singularity Core...
Oh wait, I forgot the spire holding and their craptastic must-have tac consoles. So zero. My current up-to-date toon count is ZERO. LOL :P
I have 18 characters across 4 accounts out of those i only feel comfortable pewing in 4 of them but i have 8 characters dedicated to pvp 4 tac 2 sci 2 eng. With the sponsership tokens my rep is comming along but i spend to much time in q's and ker'rat like many others...lol so i don't get my grind finished like i want...makes me feel better im not the only one...8D
One, my main Eng which I have always had. my tac might be in a month or two but he will be a torpedo boat (cheap) my sci is at lvl 50 but my other 4 toons aren't even at lvl 50 yet
I've my main and my dedicated character, though that one is still in the final refinement stages, I have a Rom tac Vaper attempt which kinda fell through, same with the KDF one
I've been playing for about 2 years and I only keep 2 well geared pvp toons, one science, one tac both fed side. I have a KDF engineer I also pvp with sometimes and I have a KDF tac that I'm currently trying to gear up, but they both are not arena ready.
1. My main and usually only used character, a fed tac. Of the ships he has, 2 can be readied for PvP without having to run to a bank for gear, or retrain boffs, etc. Of those 2 ships, one is my JHAS, which I like to bring into arena matches. The other is my fleet Defiant, which is built entirely around putting out as much damage on the alpha strike as possible. It's definitely not as survivable and generally I use that in Ker'rat and CnH because it is absolutely devastating at what it does.
8 Fed/Rom toons. Almost all at T5 on Voth as well (finish in 3 days). Each one of them with all the DOFFs (about 100+ purples on each) and equipment (including most weapon flavours and tac consoles on each toon) i'd ever need to test anything.
If i need fleet gear, drop zen > Dil > Fleet marks and purchase
I always have 1 sci, Eng and Tac fully battle ready for PvP. The rest are used as my testing toons for many potential PvP builds that show promise (Most test builds are nothing spectacular but 1 in 10 builds are an awesome find which strongly help shape the Panda premades).
I wont lie. Each toon is worth billions of EC in gear, DOFFs etc etc
Both of my klinks are just bank slot slaves with no rep at all really.
My original Fed Engi toon is kept for sentimental reasons though its T5 on Omega and Rom only.
Leveling a Rom Sci up but taking serious time on it. The thought of having to maintain a 9th toon just scares me.....

It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.
2-3 tacs. (one well kept the other 2 mostly well kept)
2 Sci
My engis... all seriously neglected.
My klinks... collecting dust... most don't even have omega tier 2.

Four
Three I keep pretty much up to date (an eng and two tacs, one of which is a romulan).
My sci sort of lags behind, only getting any focus when the other three are done.
Daizen - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
Selia - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
