Heyo guys, in the need of some advice on how to increase my DPS. These days I'm using a Mobius which with I get a DPS of 4372 (according to combatlog- loadout below), and every time I see someone getting 18000-29000 my mouth just begins to water and I just think "HOWW???"
I know there are some guides out there, but I'd rather prefer some newer techniques compared to good ol' 2012. This loadout would be for PVE mostly. Once in a while I while I hear something about the god made A2B but I have no idea whatever that is.
Loadout-
Temporal Destroyer (Fed)
Weapons:
Fore-
3x Fleet Antiproton Dual Heavy Cannons Mk XII [Dmgx3] [CrtD] I hear [Acc] is much better than dmg. Is this true?
1x Fleet Quantum Torpedo Launcher Mk XII [Dmgx3] [CrtD]
Aft-
3x Fleet Antiproton Turrets Mk XII [Dmgx3] [CrtD] (Saving up for a kinetic cutting beam to replace one)
Components (Haven't invested in anything major since I never knew what would be the best option for me)
Deflector: Positron Deflector Array Mk XII [InC] [Gra]
Engines: Elite Fleet Effecient Combat Engines Mk XII [Turnx2] [Spd] [Pow]
Shield: Aegis (had this laying around, though I refrained from saving up for the set since I hear there are better options)
Warp Core: Obelisk Subspace Rift Warp Core
Devices: Subspace Field Modulator (Don't have the red matter capacitor)
Engineering Consoles:
Booster Modulator Mk XII (Rare)
Assimilated Module
Science Consoles:
4x Field Generators Mk XII (Rare, overkill I know lol)
Tactical Consoles:
4x Antiproton mag Regulator (Rare), currently saving up for fleet consoles
Bridge officers:
Lt Commander Universal (Science):Hazard Emitters 1, Transfer Shield Strength 2, Gravity Well 1
Lieutenant Universal (Science): Science Team 1, Transfer Shield Strength 2
Commander Tactical: Tac Team 1,Scatter Volley 1,Attack Pattern Beta 2,Cannon: Rapid Fire III
Lieutenant Tactical: Tac Team 1, Torpedo: Spread 2
Duty officers: None cause I have no idea what I'm doing
Please help me!
Thanks!

There are two reasons. Damage as a weapon mod is currently bugged (per arbiter hawk) and it doesn't scale with level properly so at max level you aren't getting as much benefit from it as the devs intend. There is a post where he said they are working to fix this. But no eta.
The second reason is that accuracy becomes critical hit once you have lots of it. Obviously if you have a weapon that deals a million damage but always misses it is worthless. So your total damage over time (DPs = damage divided by number of seconds you spent fighting) can be hurt a lot by misses. Once you have a 100% chance to hit, though, all the extra accuracy isn't wasted instead it becomes chance to crit. Meaning the acc mod does everything the crithit mod does and more. Crit damage only does anything at all if you crit. And damage is bugged.
Therefore acc is the mod highest in demand in general.
There's a lot more complexity, but that's the basics.
One thing I can say, you're running antiproton's but you don't seem to have much chance to crit. You might want to swap for disruptors, plasma or romulan plasma if you aren't running a high chance to crit. The bonus that antiproton's provide is a boost to critical hit damage, so just like the critd mod, if you don't crit you aren't getting anything from it. Alternatively pick up more consoles that boost your crit chance and maybe swap one trans shield str for a tractorbeam (stopped ships have zero defense, thus your acc all become crit hit%).
Going into delta rising, it seems the most impressive builds are all focused on particle damage. So stacking gravity well, tractor beam repulsers, aceton beam, eject warp plasma, etc with bonus particle consoles and attack
Patterns (beta gives -res to the target and both alpha and omega give +damage to you). Guns are not the primary source of high damage numbers for most sci ships in delta rising from what I've seen on tribble. A big advantage to particle builds is they mostly ignore shields and Borg and vaadwar and voth all have lots of shields on their ships.
Time will only tell!
crth is better for pve. the reason why most high dps ppl use acc, because many wanted to keep the pvp window open for themselves. if you never ever want to pvp, ctrh is better for dps

There are no traits or skills in that build. sorry can't help you.
Not "should", it is a must. The only way to see your real stats is in combat.
Since you don't have an account on the STO Academy, you re-saving will create a new link. post that new link please.
The Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array does more damage than a turret, and if you choose to continue using the Obelisk Subspace Rift Warp Core will provide a further bonus to Antiproton damage as a 2-piece set bonus.
You could also check out the Fleet Warp Cores; the dual power bonus and [Amp] are rather nice additions to pretty much any build; the Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array would still likely outperform a turret, even without the set bonus, and you can use a crafted Omni since you won't get the set bonus anyway.
You have a Booster Modulator for Aux power... any Engineering console that provides bonus power will be less effective overall than one of the Universal Rep consoles, such as the Hydrodynamics Compensator, Nukara Particle Converter, Proton Particle Stabilizer, or Zero-Point Energy Conduit. Pick one or more of those that provides the power bonus you want, and gain additional bonuses and a potential set bonus as well.
Oh, never mind, you got sarcasmdetector's attention while I was typing/linking... a good source of build and theory info, that one. I think I'll stop with those general comments and let you get more tailored info from there.
Also, if either the traits or skill selections are really horrible, I can afford one of those reset options. My character race is vulcan.
Sarcasm's advice is always good.
Also here's a link to some people talking about science ship builds in delta rising
http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1229421
The builds and power discussions start on pages 5&6.
Take a look at that build.
Try using the 2 piece Borg set, with the Obelisk Core and The MACO shield. Replacing one of the turrets with the Omni-Directional beam will give you +10% boost to Antiproton damage when paired with with Obelisk Core.
Field Generators don't stack well so you get little benefit by equipping more than one, instead fill those slots with Power Generators, you'll get a better return in investment that way.
Replace the Field Emitter with the the Tachyokinetic Converter, it will benefit Gravity Well, increase your turn rate, and increase your crits. It's an ideal console for this build.
Not sure if you have access to the fleet consoles, if not stick to the traditional versions until you can upgrade.
I adjusted your skill tree to take advantage of your skills.
Good luck.

what is the basis on that? I would love to read up on that, but I could not find anything on a quick search

For starters look at the link in post 15 in this very thread. Then track down some of the discussions of science ships tak8ng out cubes in cure without popping the probes first. Then check the current thread about science ships being too weak that got turned on its head.
