Transphasics are suprisingly effective!

madviola · July 2015

So after playing "Blood of the Ancients", I picked up the Resonant Transphasic and decided to throw a build together and try it out. I tried it out on the Sakari System Patrol (the one with the APUs) in the Delta Quadrant and was reasonably impressed by it. I then played Broken Circle with it to give it a little more of a workout. It did well enough that I ended up upgrading most of the weapons in the build. I was surprised by how effective they were.

It says in the description of the torpedoes says that they have a 40% shield bypass. Does anyone know if that 40% is applied off the base damage, or off the buffed damage?

Here is the build by the way...after the upgrades.... the boffs are three purple PWOs and two purple DCEs.

I'd also welcome any constructive suggestions on the build.

Thanks Ward. Yeah, I know transphasics are mediocre, but it's kind of neat to see that 40% bleedthrough on the hull.

Question for you Ward, I'm thinking of switching by build type Quantum/AP instead of my normal Photon/Disruptors. Do you think the damage gain would be enough to warrant the change in equipment?
Here are the links.

The Photon/Disruptor build:

Here is my thoughts for the Quantum/AP build (the standard quantums are supposed to be radiant quantums from the Iconian Resistance Store, but stoacademy doesn't have it yet).

Sure, for T6 I've got access to the Arbiter, Manticore, Mercury, Nandi, Presidio, and Phantom. T5U is Monbosh, S'gloth, and tac Vesta. What should I be looking for in regards to Boff layout?\

I do tend to run high aux for my AMP fleet core, science abilities, and the offensive Nukara Aux rep trait.

Thanks!

I just threw this together but this is the direction i'd go at least. but I can't promise it's good, i'm so tired I have double vision so i'll take another look sometime tomorrow

Don't hurt yourself. It's only a game. I can wait.

I drew this up based on your build. It's based on what I have available or can acquire quickly.

Its off the total. Transphasics are decent for undergeared players and for those not fully specializing in torps. For torp boat captains and well geared players transphasics are mediocre at best. The breen cluster is a fairly effective transphasic and personally I still thunk the rapid reloads are better than the resonant even if it looks cooler.

Rapid Reload Transphasics don't look like my ship is squirting bubbles. Not like with the Resonant Transphasics
