Ok im using Ryuko's 130k+ build,i have almost everything except a few bits.

Problem is the subspace vortex,we dont seem to have it on consoles,at least i cant find it on the xchange or any boff that has it.

Question is.......will tykens rift do a similar job (until or if we ever get subspace) or is there something else i can use instead?

    So..Not having seen a link to Ryuko's build...Tykens is no where near as powerful ss vortex..If your using GW it'll start a cooldown on Tykens..But...It could be an ok substitute.

    ^ The main reason to use Tyken's is the drain, not the damage. I don't know about the build mentioned by OP, but on my builds that use one or the other abilty, at a similar investment in exotic damage, I see as much as an order of magnitude more damage out of SSV. A better substitute for damage, if not already slotted, is tractor beam repulsors w/doff, or charged particle burst with a deteriorating secondary deflector.

    So any suggestions as to what i could sub vortex for? The cooldown really kills tyken.

    Bare in mind consoles dont have the infinity lock boxes or most of the stuff that comes in them.

    Name some and i can check if we got it......thanks.

    Ps this is the build im working off

    The Doffed Tractor Beam Repulsors (Pull Doff/Graga Mal) Do horrendous damage (@ high aux and EPG)
    ..Its Science version of Faw.

    You guys have the AoY event though right? AoY toons get a free TBR Doff (though that is a character unlock).

    Without SSV, I'd use Destabilizing Resonance Beam 2 to replace it then use Charged Particle Burst 1 (combined with a Deteriorating Secondary Deflector).

    Personally, I'd go for something different in terms of BOff seating on the Eternal. Based on your limitations, I find more flexibility with the following setup:

    Lt.Cdr. Science
    • Science Team 1
    • Charged Particle Burst 1
    • Destabilizing Resonance Beam 2/Gravity Well 1

    Cdr.Science
    • Causal Reversion 1
    • Rapid Decay 1/Feedback Pulse 1- Note, if using Feedback Pulse, you may want to use some Threat Generating EPG consoles as well to help you keep enemies shooting at you. I believe you guys also got the Krenim Science Vessel, the trait on that works great with FBP.
    • Recursive Shearing 1/Feedback Pulse 2
    • Gravity Well 3/Destabilizing Resonance Beam 3

    Lt.Cdr.Engineer
    • Engineering Team 1
    • Reverse Shield Polarity 1 (with DOff if you can get it, especially if you are running Feedback Pulse and +Th consoles)
    • Aux to Structural Integrity 2 (not a fan of Emergency Power To Aux)

    Lt.Tactical/Temporal
    • Channeled Deconstruction 1
    • Entropic Redistribution 2

    Ens.Science
    • If not using Feedback Pulse, Transfer Shield Strength 1
    • If using Feedback Pulse, Tachyon Beam 1 (for additional Deteriorating Deflector Procs)

    I'd probably start with the above since I feel that gives you more options for multiple STFs. I use a similar setup, but I have SSV and DOffed TBR. This is how I fly mine (more or less):
