What console do you never leave home without?

Just curious as to what you guys consider MUST haves in consoles. For me it's:
Plasmonic leech
Assimilated console
Regenerative integrity field (for smaller escorts/raptors)
Hydrodynamics compensator (for cruiser, phaser, or disruptor builds)
Nukara particle converter (for beam builds)

What is a MUST HAVE console for all your ships?

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    For me, Plasmonic Leech. Hands down!

    If I can spare a console slot, I'd also use the Regenerative Integrity Field.

    If I have one on the current character, definately a Leech console.

    I also use the Temporal Disentanglement Suite, and Quantum Phase Converter quite often. For mission rewards they're pretty useful!

    Well the leech is a must. If you have it you should always make room for it.
    Same goes for the assimilated module but on a lower priority.

    As for my personal tech choice I like to use the Con from the quantum phase set. I use phasers a lot and slotting that con is almost like having an extra phaser weapon con plus it buffs the leech

    Probably the Leech, or one of the Plasma consoles from the Romulan Embassy. I always make room for one of those on my ships.​​

    For most ships: Tac consoles appropriate to my damage type, a Plasmonic Leech and whatever [DrainX] boosts are necessary to make it work well, and some type of armor. The last of those is because I'm not a fan of the Respawn button, and the others because they work.

    What is this "Armor" you speak of? Do you put it in the Universal Console Slots above the Science and Tactical ones?​​

    They're discount Universal-only Consoles, that go in your Universal Console Slots, and they become less effective as you equip more of them. While they're cheap, it's not a good idea to use too many of them. Still, I often have one on my ships...

    ...I suppose that technically the only consoles I "never leave home without" are the Tac ones, though; the Plasmonic Leech is a close second, but I pretty much always have at least one Tac console appropriate to my damage type (especially with the Polaron/Torp/EPG console available).

    I keep an aceton assimilator and a repair platform. The repair platform if I don't have room for both. I also use at least one tac console with my damage type (atm it's tetryon cannons)
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.

    Plasmonic Leech, obviously. I have it for all 16 characters (most of them Fed). :)
  • crm14916crm14916 Member Posts: 1,540 Arc User
    I'm too dirt a. poor to afford that many leeches, so mine is the Kobali Regenerative Integrity Field, hands down...

    This is actually really helpful! I always have plasmonic leach but I am going to use the hydrodynamics and nakura particle converter as well, I love Phaser builds
  • kitsunesnoutkitsunesnout Member Posts: 1,210 Arc User
    The terran rep console for firing torps faster! It's to projectile boaters like me, what plasmonic leech is to energy users. I have that too as well of course, because I sometimes switch to energy depending on my mood.
  • sierra078sierra078 Member Posts: 335 Arc User
    I always equip the point defense phaser from the T3 Akira, love it when it wipes out frigates, torps and fighters. I don't have the T5 Akira for the Photon torpedo version though.

    For my alts, doing ISA is pretty standard for me and so Assimilated Console and the Kinetic Cutting Beam ends up being the first thing I get for all of my alts as I get them up to the end-ish game.

    Ah... the Point Defense console... agreed, a fun one to equip. Even against a larger, single target, it can lay some fun pain as it's damage is fully applied to it, instead of divided betwen targets.

    I always use the highest class and rarity Neutronium Alloy that my toon can muster, as it covers both Kinetic and All energy types.

    I have an Epic Mk XIV exotic particle exciter I never leave port without. As I fly science vessels the exact consoles change depending on the magic I'm using.
    Leech is of no use to me, unless I was flying as a drain boat.

    Terran rep console is another one as the torp cooldown boost is a must have for torp boats and the 2pc set with the photon is awesome as well.

    Hm, I locked up my 10 toons and was a bit shocked how similar their builds all are when it comes to consoles.
    Those are the ones I use:

    Eng: Plasmonic Leech, Assimilated module, Timeline Stabelizer.

    Sci: All slots are filled with embassy consoles for plasma explosions. Depending on the build +threat or –threat, EPG or DrainX.

    Tac: All slots are filled with spire vulnerability locaters. +Energy type I use on the respective ship or simply +beam

    There has also been a time where I considered more rep consoles or even lobi ones to be essential especially for set boosts. In recent seasons I had to learn that their benefits pale compared to the embassy consoles on my builds. For every energy build I strongly suggest to use them and upgrade them with highest priority.

    The only console I use on absolutely every character is the Plasmonic Leech.

    The Timeline Stabilizer is my second most used console, if I can find room for it, I do.

    Other then the 'usual' consoles that everyone uses (Locators, Embassy Plasma) I like to run Bio-Neural Infusion circuits and my main always uses his Conductive RCS [EPS] Console. For my other characters, I just use an Epic Mk XIV EPS console and a seperate RCS when needed. It's too hard to craft the RCS with EPS on them and they cost a fortune to buy.

    I usually use the Kobali console (Regenerative console) on my Escorts if I can. I never use it on Cruisers.

    All of my Romulans use the Valdore console.. always.

    Plasmonic leech is the crutch of a weak player, unable to figure out other ways to keep power up.

    plasmonic leech, assimilated module, 1 fleet neutronium, and at least 1 embassy console drainX used by all my toons (fed, kdf, rom)
    for my roms, I use also the valdore console.
    And I use a lot of rep consoles for different builds (neutronic torp set, gravimetric torp set, terran torp set), + the quantum torp set from the mission.
