I have adapted to the iconians. Seems like the gateways were as you said - except that the energy gateway seems to replenish their shields rapidly rather than provide energy. That iconian console though - woah. Like, woah. +20% hull/shield heal and +10% weapons. Woah! Like really, woah! With the iconians, it seems that one…

Then what would u recommend? I'm quite lost so any suggestions would be really handy :)
-
I'm quite confident about the traits/BOFFS/doffs. The remaining issues concern the sort off quilmes that brings up up the new end-game standard. Or maybe I should stick to normal difficulty instead of advanced. Wait - engines can provide extra power? Besides the adapted MACO one, I'm not aware of others that do. Engine…
-
Actually, I'm thinking of getting a core with 5-15 aux so that it'll pack quite a punch with A2B. That might give a boost whole recharging every other BOFF ability. Or should I go for the spire EPS cores instead with that 66% recharge speed? Choosing cores can be confusing. Perhaps they deva should look into a rep-standard…
-
Thanks for the tips guys; talking to both of you has been very enlightening. Say hi in-game if you ever see a Rom toon named Galan. Jolan'tru!
-
You both make excellent points. The aehal would address my defense concerns, yet the fleet mogai seems more congruent with my playing style. I am concerned about the aehal's defense orientation for starship mastery. Ok - I should have made my reasoning clear to u guys at the start. Having flown the derideaux at lower…
-
Would u recommend the haanom or would that be a step back? I like the aehal though - you're right; it could work. I don't have the zen for that but yea, it could work. Thanks! This is unrelated but the plasma lotus on my daeinos and all its cannons are white in colour rather than green. Is this normal? Beams are the right…
-
Hi folks, sorry for the delay. You know, I just wanted to ask you guys that! I'm on the Daeinos T5U and I LOVE it's agility and speed. The tactical mode gives extra weapons power and I have 2x LTCMDR tac stations for firepower against single or multiple targets. Thing is... Repair powers are very limited. If there are many…
-
That much?? I was considering the RCS spamming option but wouldn't we need the console space for other things? Like the reputation consoles? I must admit that i haven't gotten used to craftingn yet. My other toons need so spend so much time levelling up R&D that I wonder if it's really worth the trouble. It'd be great to…
-
**sorry I meant ha'feh is my dream warbird, not ha'apax. As you can tell, I'm still dreaming of the bigger ships.
-
Thanks so much for the help guys - it's been really easy to figure out a olaying strategy with the advice you've given. I've since learned that a cannon build suits me best on the escort-like warbirds. The bigger ships - whole feeling more stately and majestic, suffers from manoeuvrability issues against both big and small…
-
Hey folks! Thanks for the assistance - it's been really useful. I'm not sure about the end-game ship I want yet - my character is only at tier 3 right now. Based on lessons from flying fed cruisers, I'll be maxing out weapon damage skills and warp core potential. I've realised that power is lacking rom ships compared to…
-
I jumped on the Fed 3-pack (I don't have other faction toons) when the discount came. It's got everything I ever wanted in a Fed cruiser but couldn't find: - The curves, size, and grandeur of the Odyssey (well, except the bridge interior). - The cannon option, just like the Avenger - Come close to the agility of the…
-
Cool! Thanks guys! Wish cryptic would have been less cryptic about this... The story is the only thing left that I find enjoyable. Obfuscating the conditions for progressing in the story is really taking joy out of it.
-
I'm having problems with it too. Cryptic support said to force verify - which allowed slightly more files to be patched but it still stalls. I'm waiting for their follow-up reply. FYI, just because there haven't been many complaints doesn't mean that the problem isn't on Cryptic's end. In fact, complaint numbers don't…
-
THanks! I think I'll give it a shot! Not as if my Sovereign has a science BOFF rank high enough for powerful science abilities/consoles anyway. I also realised the extra phaser damage bonuses with the counter command set helps my fleet phaser beam layout!
-
Is it recommended then?
-
Where did I go wrong?
-
Here's an idea: switch to proton weapons. That way my 'proc' will trigger a heck of lot of damage every time I critical. Also, the dyson Grav photon torp set + enhanced Biomolecular torp. They dyson pro tonic arsenal set gives +10% crit chance! While the enhance biomolecular set (2) gives 20% more photon torp damage!!!
-
So ron plasmas kill things the fastest - what about just tearing down shields? In PvE at least, brute base damage tears down shields faster right? I tend to rip shields down (with phaser disables in between) and drain hull bit by consistent bit with energy fire and quantum torp spreads. Will rom plasmas tear down shields…
-
Wouldn't having higher base damage (fleet weapons) do more damage over the long run than the disruptive/plasma profs? After all, the procs only occur with a 2.5% probability but aren't affected by weapon power/consoles/BOFF powers whereas the base damage value enjoys these bonuses 100% of the time.
-
I like to do that too! I didn't know there was a keyboard shortcut for it lol! That changes things a lot!
-
Thanks guys. Just to clarify, the ground set I want to get should mesh well with a full away team, but more importantly it must be able to stand on its own two feet. Well, my two feet. Both offense and defense are important. Defense slightly more so because my tac has a lot of attacking skills but only hypos/shield charges…
-
Thank You! :dd
-
Thanks for the input guys! I really appreciate it. Since there's no clear consensus, I need to see what sort of BOFFs and DOFFs and I can get first before committing to a decision. If you could provide input into the other thread about MACO and ADAPTED MACO acquisition, it'll be much appreciated! :))
-
I didn't consider the fact that I could use duplicate TAC skills on the odyssey. That changes things a bit. Does A2B plus the right DOFF really help cool down? By how much? Btw, what do you guys use for the science and lower engineering skills?
-
Yep, I figured it would be 2 TAC, 2 ENG, and 1 SCI. I usually use the lower eng stations for healing, and this could be done on either the odyssey or fleet sovvy since both have hull heals (eng team and that science ability with 3 vertical arrows). Damage wise, does the fleet sovvy come head and shoulders above though? My…
-
WHat about auxiliary power then? Does it affect abilities (e.g. tachyon beam) much? How much more power before we see a noticeable effect? 4 points? Plus where do we get mk xii Booster Modulator consoles to boost aux? The Exchange only has mk xi
-
By the way, does ship armor (e.g. neutronium alloy) help with shield resistance as well? Or would I be better off using my engineering console slots for power-enchancing consoles?
-
Hahas, I'd be lying if I said I understood what you mean. Right now, I'm at 90/80/50/59. No idea how to go beyond that. I don't have the efficient captain or BOFF trait. I only have astrophysicist for the captain and warp core potential... This power thingi s trickier than ia thought
