So... B'rel pilots, what do you do in Dyson space? Seems like everything can decloak you, so EBC is kind of pointless.
I could go to the standard in/out of cloak, but I may as well get a Fleet Norgh or run the Hegh'ta for Dyson.
I like my Hegh'ta just fine. It's just not a B'rel.
EDIT:
Okay, after being unimpressed with my Borg setup Hegh'ta, I went back to the B'rel & did a Transphasic setup because Voth know how to shield.
I swapped out the Quantums & KHG for the Breen set. I also used 2 Sci teams instead of my usual Polarize Hull/Haz Emitters (probably need to go back to 1 Haz Emitter, though). I usually only load 1 Cluster because it is so slow to load, but I might go for 2 because it's suicidal going full on into a Voth ball.
Now that was Pod Racing, right there.
You just have to adjust your distances. Can't make long attack runs because of the anti-cloak stuff.
Comments
To be completely honest, I hop into my Mogh in Dyson space. It's not just the decloaking stuff they got, but also the shield-ignoring damage, which, with the paper thin hull of my B'rel, just started to get to me. Anywhere else, I'm perfectly happy in my BoP's, but over there, I just opt for things with a little more hull. Like, twice as much.
If you absolutely want to use a raider against them, I would recommend a torp build or, of all things, a long-range broadsiding beam build. The Voth have a number of nasty close range slowing abilities, so maintaining your distance is a must in a ship that fragile(Tyken's Rift is still going to rip you up though).
I did a bunch of space fights yesterday in the contested zone, including the big giant gojira ship fights. I still dont love transphasics, but i did contribute even if i died a couple times.
Setup is 2 rapid fire transphasics, 1 blue mkxii transphasic, and the breen cluster up front... 2 green mkxii transphasic torps aft. Breen set bonus to transphasics (2 piece), rule 62 console, borg console, 3 purple mkxi transphasic consoles... 4x Nausicaan Pirate BOFFs. I use the borg impulse just because, but i might switch to aegis for the extra 5%.

gravity well 3 + torpedo spread 3 with gravimetric torpedos works great agisnt the voth
Are they immune to something in the grav well exotic damage? I throw grav well 1 & 3 for CC in the voth space & i remember a lot of IMMUNE spam in the voth balls even if the voth ships are stuck in the GW bubble.
The thing i like about photons (6 second timer) is kind of negated by the distances i need to work with (shorter attack runs from longer distance). The long timeout on transphasics isnt so bad since fighting voth seems to take more time to maneuver.
Of course, slotting photons for voth means i might be able to use less projectile DOFFs in favor of gravimetric or deflector BOFFs...

Grav Well 3
Hargh Pheng
Scramble Sensors 1
Torpedo Spread 3 (omega plasma or gravimetric torpedo's)
jam sensors
Tykens rift 1
emergency power to engines
torpedo spread 1 or 3 (omega plasma)
Hargh pheng.
basically I'm trapping the voth in a tight circle so i can hit them with splash damage from the hargh pheng torpedo, and using scramble sensors to make them fight one another so they'll weaken each other and I can finish them off. also stick with the transphasics, for the shield bypass maybe try out a cluster transphasics, those things can tare a voth ship in two if you can get one past the beam fire at will
How about Plasma Torps for the DoT and HY splash? Is that mote viable these days? I know i have some plasma torps and consoles in storage somewhere. The distances might make it prohibitive, though.

Transphasic it is, then. I guess i could also go back to KHG and warhead yield chambers for rainbow torpedos, but that also sounds unappealing. If i get the gravimetrics, then i might
I just hate giving up 2 weapon slots to slow loaders like the Hargh'peng and breen cluster.
Maybe if i put at least one rapid reload transphasic aft (no slow loading torpedos aft) to trigger torpedo DOFF procs on the way out... but with only 2 slots aft, it still hurts. But i hate getting too close with non-buffed torpedo strikes while going into a voth ball just to get DOFFs to work.

Not only that, but they also tend to frequently drop Aceton Probes. Targetable projectiles are very much pointless against Voth.
