I love these Fleet Nova threads..fantastic. Been distracted with the Dyson Sci Destroyers lately but everytime I read one of these threads it makes me want to go for it and add one to my Sci Toon's fleet. The Fleet Nova...the little ship that could :-)
After wasting excessive amounts on lockboxes and getting nowhere...I switched to buying keys with my Zen, selling them for EC and saving up for the ship I wanted on the exchange :-)
Ah well due to the servers being down everytime I logged on I (and others) will be unable to log on to claim it due to being European based..an extension of the time limit would allow those of us to claim who were unable to during the outage...:D
Currently flying a Tal Shiar Adapted Battle Cruiser as a sci using its universal Cdr to get Gravity Well III in addition to Tykens Rift II... Add in its 4x4 weapons slots ..Dyson Torpedo/Rom Hyper Plasma et al its a darn good ship if you can afford the EC to buy it.
V interesting build there...Took both the RR Transphasic and Cluster Torpedo off my Vesta when I got the Rom Hyper Plasma torp but miss the damage it can create...I use the Dyson Grav Torp and Rom Hyper Plasma torp but might switch the Rom torp back to either one of the Transphasic's..;)
Excellent points Baudi..I had thought a bit about using the Cdr Univ BOFF as a tactical one, especially to get TS III for my Dyson Gravimetric torpedoes :-) I havent heard anything bad about this ship yet...Its definetley on my to get list :D
Having been a Sci toon primarily since joining, I have tried all the sci ships and found the Vesta to be the best mix of offensive power and sci potential. Currently flying the Tac version of the Vesta science ship which gives Cdr Science, Lt Cdr Universal, Lt Tactical, Lt Engineering and an Ensign Universal, which means…
Currently flying the Vesta Multi-Mission Recon Explorer and find it a fantastic vessel using Gravity Well III, Tykens Rift II, Torpedo Spread III and a host of other abilities plus Elite Scorpion Fighters. However having been casting my eye over the Tal Shiar Adapted Battle-Cruiser and note that it has a universal Cdr…
Thanks for all the info, have had the Nova tucked away in Spacedock awaiting Fleet refit. Looking forward to putting all your knowledge to good use and getting her out in the Galaxy :)
Yeah prefer the DPS from the Elite Scorpions to boost Vesta's firepower + sci abilities..will definetely have a look at the Flight Deck Officers to see if they can help :)
Yep a very good addition to the DPS on the Vesta..there is also a purple DOFF that increases the accuracy of carrier pets but can remember it off hand :confused:
Thanks for that...what about the advanced fleet plasma beam arrays XII..they seem to add a 10% accuracy as well.. Good point about the torpedo vs extra array..
I see your point with regards the Jem Hadar space set..the shields are a little on the low side considering the Vesta's hull strength..at least with Nukara marks easier to get than the others it should be quicker to get the Nukara items
No just appears in the Engineering section of the Duty Officer Assignments..i tend to jump around sectors to check if its available. Might be a character level specific though...
As a previous poster stated just make a shortcut for the STO exe to put on your desktop and bypass ARC completely... All you have to do is enter your password each time but better than loading up ARC..
Personally v impressed with the Yellowstone and Rhode Island starship giveaways..both of which I was considering spending ZEN on... Looking forward to whats next...
I played with British Starfleet Corps back in 2010 but had to stop playing ST:O due to starting a new family. Upon logging back into my old character account it seems I am still part of BSC :D or at least that is showing in the chat section :D
