Hi guys

First off: this build is meant to work on T6 Fleet Ar'Kif Warbird Carrier like this:

FORE:
4x Antiproton Beam Array (full CrtD)

AFT:
2x Antiproton Beam Array (full CrtD)
1x Kinetic Cutting Beam

DEFLECTOR DISH: Don't know, I was wondering about a Honor Guard or Aegis.
ENGINES: Honor Guard/Aegis
CORE: Not sure which one is better: the one that gives +100% Power Transfer Rate, or the one that gives 15% resistance to subsystems power drain.
SHIELD: Elite Fleet Resilient

ENG CONSOLES:
2x EPS Flow Regulators / 1x EPS Flow Regulator + Plasmonic Leech

SCI CONSOLES:
Everything to buff power drain / + Plasmonic Leech

TAC CONSOLES:
5x Vulnerability Locator (Ap)


BOFFS:
Cmd Tac: TT1 - BFAW2 - APB2/APO1 - APB3/APO3
Lt. Cmd Sci: HE1 - ST2 - GW1
Lt. Cmd Eng: EPTW1 - RSP1 - ET3
Lt. Tac: TT1 - BFAW2
Ens Eng: EPTS1

DOFFS:
2x Damage Control Engineers (EPTX)
2x Maintainance Engineers (ET)
2x Developement Lab Scientists (ST)


That was the build I had in mind, now that's the skills:


ENG: 16
Hull Restoration: 2
Hull Capacity: 2
Electro-Plasma: 2
Impulse Exp: 2
Hull Plating: 3
Power Sh/Aux: 3
Warp Core: 2

SCI: 15
Shield Restoration: 2
Shield Capacity: 2
Drain Expertise: 3
Control Expertise: 2
Shield Hardness: 2
Long-Range Trg: 3
Shield Mastery: 1

TAC: 15
Energy Weapons: 2
Projectile Weapons: 2 (I know its useless with that build, but I want it :p )
Accuracy: 2
Defense: 2
Weapons Ampl: 2
Weapons Spec: 2
Shield Weakning: 2
Hull Penetration: 1

I was wondering that maybe this way it could be better:
-2 Impulse Expertise
+1 Warp Core (efficiency)
+1 Hull Penetration

Also:
-1 Shield Mastery
+1 Control Expertise (that nice -35 damage resistance would be nice with a grav. well)

What do you think ?

    Warp core efficiency has always been nice for warbirds, with the lower power settings on the singularity core. Why not the coordination abiltities on a carrier?

    you know what ? Coordination Protocols were my first choice, but then I thought:
    The first rank is completely useless, since fighters have very low HPs ... the one that boosts base damage would be nice, but I have to spend 2 skill points juts to have a +20% damage. Its cool, but I think that skills like Shield Weakening and Hull penetration works better ...

    Not all the skill planners show this, but in-game does - child skills have an effect on team, if you do a lot of queueing. Doesn't boost you directly, but everyone else.

    I've felt like the coordination has been a boost - you can probably drop the offensive power subskills for efficiency (they don't give quite as much power when figuring your settings) - power transfer is probably more useful (it has some interesting effects on maxed weapon power regenerating after weapons firing) than drain, as far as core choices. If you can get a core with the AMP modifier, power distribution to 'less allocated' skills helps boost damage too.

    Which starship traits?

    Noticed that, but its just a +5% ... it could be useful if ANYONE in the team have it, but I don't its going to happen :(

    Offensive power subskills is for Engine and Weapons power, correct ?
    I didn't spent points for them, cause I don't really care about speed and turn rate (engines) since speed doesn't boost defense, and I don't need more power for Weapons, since I already run it maxed and overcapping is granted by EPtW and Plasmonic Leech ... at least I figured out this to work :p

    No one ... maybe just Pedal to the Metal and The Best Defense (the one that boosts Attack Patterns ... its a mission reward).

    About putting 3 points in drain expertise, I've been told that Drain Infection only works with skills, and not the plasmonic leech. Haven't tested it however, so can't confirm.

    Yeah - those energy ones, if you've got a leech, probably don't need those for the benefit, and can turn it elsewhere.

    Drain infection is only intended to work with active powers, so it won't affect leech.

    Hmmm, TRIBBLE xD

    Well, I guess that I just solved the problem:
    -1 Drain Expertise
    +1 Shield Mastery

    Thx guys :)
