Same problem here. Lost a nice photon torpedo launcher [CRTD]x2 [PEN] to it. I have screenshotted a weapon in production and at collection if it is of interest to a dev. The issue is totally reproducible. The only variable seems to be that sometimes the stats show as changed when the item is ready to collect and sometimes…

Oh dear, I've bought the Borg one now! Still, I've always liked the set so I am sure I'll be OK but will definitely invest in a Res B if I stop being scared and do some PVP :o
-
As a Rom Sci, I also picked the Ha'nom. Perhaps as my Fed and KDF have been escort flying tacs, I felt let down with the turn rate and fire power of the Ha'nom and my idea to do something different this time paled! I got all possible T'Varos in order to build a Fleet one and really liked the ship. I also tried a Mirror…
-
Thanks all. I have decided to get the Assimilated Shield Mk XII for use now and will invest in an Elite Fleet one if/when I get into PVP.
-
IIRC, I would have to buy the whole MACO set to unlock the Adapted one? Too rich for me if that's the case.
-
So, that's what I did! I built this today: http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=retsetsambassador_4313 It's all made from stuff taken from ships in the hangar. Nothing spent apart from a few doff training fees. When I got the Ambassador, I found it could do about 6K in ISE using 3XDBB, a torp and 4 turrets. Same score…
-
Sorry, not built it yet! Last time I had the Ambassador out of the hangar, it would do 6K in ISE. This was with either single cannons and turrets or DBBs and turrets. What I want to try is a full beam build with AtB but time is a bit short at the moment.
-
I have tried it before with limited success. This thread has inspired me to have another go at an ATB cruiser. I don't have an Excelsior but, ofc, have the free Ambassador so will try something like this: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=7756741&postcount=496

You are very welcome. You know I found out? I told somebody the ship customiser was bugged and all skins were the same and they put me right ..... ;)
-
You haven't got the shield visuals enabled, do you? It carries over to the customiser and some are very shiny.

This is my Corvette build. I have been using a fleet T'varo, firstly as a transphasic torp boat and latterly as an escort. I simply moved over all the gear and BOFFs and bought a cheap warp core. I don't quite have the rep I need yet and haven't paid a visit to the fleet stores so I am sure there is much more to come. I…
-
I bought it to use as a torp boat. Did a transphasic build with Breen set. It wasn't bad but I mainly ESTF and was uncloaked with minimal shields much of the time and cloaked and unshielded the rest - not ideal! I have rebuilt it conventionally with 3 disruptor DHC, a photon torp, KCB and 2 turrets. I'm not buying rep gear…
-
Excellent video. Thanks for all the hard work. Something else to chew over whilst I decide whether, or not, to splurge my 5000 (DL ground) Zen.
-
Thanks for the info - given me something to chew on.
-
Would going for a Fleet DD (assuming T4 shipyard) be a good option? This would just need the EC to get some fleet modules from the exchange and leave precious Zen intact for the moment. I ask for the OP and myself. The dedicated consoles would be missing, of course, but I wonder how much of a loss this would be.
-
I wouldn't fret about it being gone - all you get for it is 200DL
-
I have been running the fleet version for a while. I am not certain it is optimal and have only done ESTFs with it but I am using: Breen cluster, RR Transphasic, Hargh'Peng and a regular Transphasic up front. Transphasic mines, a quantum and bio-neural at the rear. I have the full Breen kit (+30% transphasic damage), both…
-
I just use the 3 part Borg set. I keep trying to change the shield for a MACO one but with little success: Once it is down it takes a while to rebuild, even with EPtS and TSS and an aux bat. The Borg shield does not have a massive capacity but it rebuilds quickly and you get a once per 3 mins TB for free. I can't remember…
-
I'm a Tac and have just got my Vo'Quv out of the hangar for a few weeks variety. It has 6 phasers beams (how very non canon ..) plus Elite Scorpions and Advanced B'Rel. A lot of the rest is badly optimised as I don't want to retrain my BOFFs for this short interlude. It deals 4500dps in ESTFs which is the bare minimum I am…
-
I used one for a few weeks on my Tac. I used the Rom Hyper Torp plus lots of +PLA Embassy consoles and plasma infusers/weapons. I varied the build between single cannons and turrets and 3 DBBs and turrets. The second was unusual but with chained EPTS and EPTW, never suffered badly on power. It parsed about 6500 on elite…
-
I was just about to start Defera hards and got a disconnect. Cannot get back in. Launcher dead. I guess the whole thing is FUBAR again. I'm off to watch 'The Shield' instead ..
-
My build is similar to the above. 3 DHC, a hyper-plasm torp, 3 turrets and the KCB. All plasma weapons boosted by the zero point console and 3 embassy +PLA -THR consoles. I use full Borg space set plus the assim module and an A2B build almost exactly as above. The sci powers are reversed and I have ET3 not RSP2. This is…
-
Thanks to the OP for starting this thread. As a result of it I have joined the Imperial Romulan Strike Force and, have to say, they seem a lovely bunch of people :D On first impressions, I recommend them to you.
-
Good point, captainpanix. I came on here to see why it was late, forgetting we (UK) moved to BST a few weeks ago which is UTC+01.00.
-
Ah, you can scrap the question; I worked out my own answer by looking at the projects in my more active KDF fleet. I see certain projects include provisions as a reward. I guess in my fleet, it is progressing too slowly and some people are spending the provisions the second they appear. I guess this is the problem with…
-
Do we know what the nerfs are? If it means no more dragon builds then I will think again about a Fleet Excelsior.
-
Hey, that's really good! I just ran a comparison on each faction between a ship I own and a ship I am considering - works really well; I can see the answer at a glance. Bookmarked!
-
A few pages back, I said I was having fun with my Ambassador after months of escort flying. I'm still using it and have decided to buy some modules for EC and get the Fleet Exclesior in a few weeks when we reach T3. I decided my Klingon would have to get back in on the cruiser action so hangared the Bug and blew the dust…
-
I will add that the free Breen ship (if you got it) can be turned into a very mean ESTF tool. At the moment I am using the free Ambassador which, again, you might have. With a plasma build using reputation/fleet/exchange gear and nothing fancy/lobi it scores first place on most ESTFs I do with DPS scores often exceeding…
-
I love how fast they regenerate. The auto shield heal isn't massive but still a plus, as is the once per 3 minutes tractor beam. I really like the Borg 3 piece for ESTFs etc. According to ACT, the hull heal (which you get with 2 pieces) does over half my healing. Handy on the builds where I have prioritised offence over…
