Xindi-Aquatic Narcine Dreadnought Carrier

So if your one of the lucky ones who was able to get your hands on this new ship or one of the unlucky ones who had to pay well over 230 mill for the puppy, what would be your build for this ship?

Would you use the same build that you would use for a Jem Dread?

Any build help will be greatly appreciated...

    I sold the Narcine I managed to win (I'll buy it again when it gets cheaper), but most JHDC builds should work fine on it with only limited tuning. One big thing to keep in mind is that the Narcine is much faster turning than a JHDC. I have a DHC build for my JHDC, but would only use that Loadout in Borg STFs and CCE, anything else is difficult to keep DHCs lined up, but the Narcine has the turnrate of an Avenger/Mogh which can use cannons in most PvE fairly well.

    It does have a rather good turn rate for a "dreadnought" (battle cruiser would probably more fitting fo it) but I think DHC builds would only be useful in stuff like CCE ond some STFs with non moving enemies, like most of the borg stuff.
    I was thinking of 4 AP Dual beams on front, Obelisk set, KCB and maybe a turret for the third aft slot? Don't know yet.
    Still not entirely sure what works best on it. Right now mine is a pure beam-boat with the new xindi phasers, haven't done much DPS tracking so I don't have solid numbers but it sure is a fun ship.

    And it's nice that we get the elite pets with the next patch. :)

    Thanks for the input. I'm using my JHD Aux2b build and I'm getting around 17-22k in STF's. Have not tried on PVP yet.

    Same here, though DHC's could also work. The narcine is quite agile for a carrier.

    Now that I'ev been flying her for a while "i think i'm in love". Great turn rate! better than my Jem Dred in PVP and I can now chase down the smaller ships and take them out. I still die but I'm much more nimble. DBB with all BEAMs hitting 17 to 28 k.
