Okay. Destroyers are good on paper, but lacking in practice, stick with the Tac Vesta, got it. Thanks for all your help. Now, the next question, I suppose: I was looking over the various Sci-ships you can build in the Fleet Shipyard. For as long as I've been playing as part of a Fleet, I've wanted to be able to fly the…

Alright. I'm working out the weapons on my ships - trying mainly for Mk XII Blue or Purple - preferably with at least [Acc]x2 - but ATM, I'm rolling around with the various console setups I have for my ship. Tac Vesta 2 Eng - RCS Accelerator; 1 Chosen Hull Plating 4 Sci - Emitter Array; Emitter Amplifier; Field Generator;…

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Couple of questions I've got for the fleet. I'm going over various consoles I want to mount on my ship. One is Flow Capacitors - I know they affect power drain abilities. Does that mean they would boost the -25 to all Subsystem drains of the Polaron proc? Two - I've got enough Lobi for the…

I'm sitting here with my shiny new 3-pack, as well as the 2 Extra Ship Slots I purchased with leftover Zen, and I was thinking along the lines of something like this. Aventine (Tac Vesta) - I have a set of Polaron Beam Arrays that were sitting in my Bank without any use whatsoever (I used them when I was experimenting with…

Thanks for the help, guys. I went with the (overwhelming) recommendation of the 3-pack. Just one other question - do you keep the DHCs, and pair those with stuff like Turrets and other cannons, or do you switch out for Arrays & DBBs so you can use the integrated Subsystem Targeting that comes with all Science ships? The…

@Dave: Ambition is my middle name. I've got goals for myself, and I won't rest until I've got them. And my #1 goal in STO is to make my ship the best I can. Okay. A few comments in reply to your post (TrueTom, thanks for your input). 1: Fleet Nova is my eventual goal. I loved my original Nova, and hated I had to leave it…

Question for the veterans who have been around the block a few times, then. How do you feel that this new Dyson set stacks up against the other major equipment sets? If you want something concrete...MACO/Nukara/Omega/JH.
-
I'll keep that in mind. BTW, if you had to pick one, MACO Mk XII Set or the Leech console...though, it annoys me that now, if I want the console, I might have to start all over again from scratch on the reputation. Though Dyson seems to be less grind-oriented.
-
Looks fairly impressive. I assume you'd have to be up at T5 to claim most of them, though. @reginmala: Leech & MACO Shield glitch? I recently picked up a Plasmonic Leech console, and was planning on getting the MACO set...
-
I know. Which is why I'm hoping to get both side-by-side and at least have a look-see comparison between the two of them so I can get some meaningful data out of the whole thing. I will admit, though, that the MACO set (not Adapted MACO) does have my interest - it seems that if I were to go for something other than the…

@cmdrscarlet: Well, I sat down and took a look at the various Equipment sets. A few did strike me as being something I might want to look into, in terms of the Deflector/Engine/Shield Sets. One thing I did want to start w/asking about, though. In talking to my own friends and just in general experience, Cov Shields have…
-
Thanks for the advice. You mentioned better sets than Nukara? IYO, what would those be? Part of the reason I think I can make Nukara work is because I deliberately engineered my ship equipment and personal skills for maximum survival - lots of Shield Performance, Hull Integrity, a Positron Deflector...
-
Built my ship pretty much around that idea. I may not be able to instantly outgun the enemy, but if I can outlast them, then I can either run away to get help, or I can whittle them down with my weaponry until they're gone. [1] I picked this up to specifically deal with Borg. Turns out it's great against Rommies, too, but…

Okay, thanks to everyone for the input, I'll be working with it. @Reginmala: Some stuff for you. Note - I was considering prior to this swapping out JS for PH on the Science Boff. Having JS past...well, Commander level just doesn't make sense to me anymore. It only works on one target, making it useless against multiple…
