    Hey felisean, I like the idea but it isn't what I'm looking for in a scimitar with the doffs and stuff (I saw it on my other thread)

    Well, all we know is that you don't know what's good on a scimitar?. That is the current ideal scimitar build. How is that not what you're looking for?
    SCM - Crystal C. (S) - [00:12] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 8.63M(713.16K) - Fed Sci

    SCM - Hive (S) - [02:31] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 30.62M(204.66K) - Fed Sci

    Tacs are overrated.

    cuz it no fun to play and has no torpedoes and focuses too heavy on tactical. You said it was the best build in the game? How?

    Unfortunately in this game you have to focus on a damage type and anything else is peripheral. So do you want your damage to come from your torps or from your beams? Doesn't mean you can't use both just that you need to decide your main damage source.

    I'm glad you said that I've heard a lot on just doing all beams or all torps and stuff and I sincerely disagree. It's good to see that you think that too

    LOL, so contributing maximum damage to your team is not your goal. You should play a sci ship then...

    Now that I am a lot smarter I know that I was very stupid in what I thought I was doing. I understand now the importance of DPS is in this game. I'm sorry for my past stupidity

    That's worth a laugh.

    Here's mine.

    LOL. How's that DPS thing working out anyways?

    I run a 70k dps DHC tac scimitar build, it has taken a long TRIBBLE time to get it to that point but in the right position it will crit up to 36k on a single shot (that's the highest I have seen it go, I don't use torps) almost 30% crit chance. I use the Anchored trait and the Point Blank trait, slap on APO 3 and CRF 2, among other things, and even the hardest enemy ship falls in seconds :)

    You can certainly go higher dps with beams but I really like cannons, and thanks to the pilot spec and multiple traits and consoles that improve turn rate I can use the momentum and high turn rate to keep all but the fastest ships in my sights, its pretty fun drifting in the thing.

    Hey there, you are not stupid, you were a person who is playing a game he/she wants to, not what other people say, as a fellow STO captain, i do understand the importance of DPS, but now the game is a new Arms race, it sometimes kills the joy of playing. I hope with your meaning of sentence that you are changing due to you being happy playing the new style and not conceive to other players demands.

    This is a ship i use...not top dog, will not be in top 10---top100, but whoopee doo, but i like it. In Time will upgrade to epic XIV...but in time. Not plasma what you said earlier...but just a idea.

    Carry on and GAME ON.

    The scimitar is STO's best and worst ship ever. It can bring the DPS, even take a beating, or it can blow up before it can do much damage at all. Lots of folks have struggled with how to build that ship. With reciprocity for romulan's available nowadays, you now have even more flexibility in ship builds to make it worthwhile.
    Instead of telling folks what you want on it, how about what role do you want it to be used for, and see what you get in return. It might be very enlightening since some folks explain some of their decisions.
