Thanks, @salacnar070890! A big part of the reason I had to splash 900 Lobi on the NX-R was your amazing pics. That perspective shot going into ESD was awesome. I'm trying out a DHC Antiproton build right now. So far it's passable, but needs some tuning.

i would recommend DCs over DHCs as DHCs are slow-firing weapons

Indeed; DCs and turrets can shred things nicely, as shown by this particular build. You might recall his also presenting a budget build for the Xyfius-class; that one can be easily adapted to use cannons as well.

Antiproton Mag Consoles (or Fleet Consoles) + Polymorphic Probe Array + Crystalline Absorption Matrix (if you were smart enough to get one from the Phoenix Event) = TONS of AP damage goodness.
Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

You pretty much nailed my console layout there. Five Fleet consoles, Polymorphic Probe Array, and Crystalline Absorption Matrix. With a few other bonuses thrown in, the AP damage bonus came out somewhere just shy of 300%. I'm trying the Delphic Antiproton DBBs right now, actually, rather than DHCs, and those seem to do nicely. Makes me wish there was an Advanced Radiant Antiproton DBB rather than a standard Beam Array, but I use the array for the Hypercharge set bonus.

I use four mag consoles, PPA, and CAM with three Herald DHCs, Crystalline Energy Torp, and two AP Omnis (plus the wide angle quantum). An Alpha Strike with Beam Overload, Rapid Fire III, and Torp Spread III can pretty much one-shot a D'deridex and can knock a Borg Cube down to ~30%. That's before I start activating consoles.

Great pics, guys! @salacnar070890 that is a really nice shot of the dark skin on the Vengeance. It's hard to get a shot of that without just looking like a dark patch across the screen.
i still need to get my hands on that prototype dread but its not high on the priority list
It's a VERY nice ship and have to admit am really enjoying it.
Fleetmate of mine was thrilled with it, too. I'm intrigued, but as it's a Lockbox ship I'm going to be patient with it, I think. Great pics of it, though. Thanks!
Beauty of a shot! The NX-01 Refit is just stunning, isn't it?
It is indeed, I just wish those parallel lines at the front tip of the hull were more subtle ... if you look at pictures of the NX-01 you can barely notice those lines, they are thin and blend right in with the rest of the plating. Here, they stick out like a sore thumb.

As a side note, I love these fighters! So cool.
You Lucky SOB but great picture non the less
That skin is superb on the Paradox. The inky sheen is beautiful.

Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
omg @ that shot. The way the pets are arranged here give the Thrai a nice sense of scale. Beautiful.
Really great shot. The Paradox is one of those ships I really enjoy seeing in the new lighting.

That's a really nice shot of the Archon. Those nacelles are growing on me, I think.
