Please note: I am currently unable to edit the original post due to its' length in characters (10.791 characters too long...) - so I hope it is a Vanilla Migration issue and that I will be able to edit this thread again in the near future to Keep it updated.

Similar - I involuntarily did cheat at the race by making first AND second place... I dunno how exactly that happened, I usually try to jump board when close to the flag at the finishing line, hammered F in the hope to actually get first - and got 125 Lolhnats for 1st and 2nd place. It did not exactly help that I…

First things first (and for once, in this order): welcome back! :) - T6 ships: well, I would not go as far and say that T5-U are not worth it. They go a looooong mile and the main advantages of the T6 ships are special Starship Traits that every ship of the same char gets access to once the Ship Mastery Level reaches 5…

Thank You (again), I still try to keep it updated. Especially the Season 9 Delta Quadrant Patrol episodes seem to be borked in the stowiki (still linking to the Phaser Beam Arrays [Acc]x3 which have been removed) - but then again, going by my own, new Delta char, the (unknown*) rewards seem to be 'only' rare Deflectors,…

Sounds about right - and do not forget that You will earn some eC along the way - which You can easily invest into some 'okay' weapons or consoles, for example. So You could buy Phaser or Antiproton Beam Arrays on the Exchange (uncommon and better will do, try to avoid the [Dam] modifier and get the Tactical consoles for…
-
@seaofsorrows: thank You, I hope it helps new or returning players a bit - though it does look like yet another wall of text on a glance. Not sure on how to improve on it yet but I will try to Keep it updated. And I agree with ultimatenewbie, Your guide is a concise and very fine work - and one would not have to wait for…
-
And the version I did post uses different (Beam) weapons (and a Torpedo) - and has a different idea behind the Bridge Officer (BOff) Abilities. The equipment both seaofsorrows and I propose comes mostly from Episode rewards and replaying missions - and that is why I gave You the link to the 'Free gear and where to get it'…

Huh? Just tested it and it works fine for me... - strange. Well, here's the link in any case: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=998011

Tried myself on a budget build using a lot of Episode/Replay rewards (see link in my signature) and two Reputation items only: http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=assaultbudget_0 The two remaining console slots are intended for the consoles from the current Featured Episodes. Bound DOffs (especially VR Technicians)…

I usually use ET3 on an Aux2Bat ship for the hull heals, lacking AUX-power for Hazard Emitters. True enough, if You find Yourself able to withstand almost anything (especially as an Engineer), You can easily slot something else. RSP comes to mind in combination with the T6 starship trait - or indeed swapping to ET1 and…
-
I tried myself at a different build: http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=andromedadeia_0 Yeeees, it is a lame Aux2Bat-variant - but it works. So the DOffs I'd use would be 2*VR Technicians (B'Tran Cluster) 1* R Technician (-"-) 1* Marion Frances Dulmur 2* Warp Core Engineers You'd get to Keep Your already nice…

Season 10 added (so far).
-
You can buy the Liberated Borg Romulan Science Officer for 300 Lobi from the store - or buy the unopened crate from other players for eC if they are willing to sell. The Liberated Borg Bridge Officer (Federation) or Liberated Borg Bridge Officer (KDF) (both Engineering) can be purchased once a Romulan has chosen a faction…
-
You can customize the appearance of Your character at a tailor, including every kit (even those not of Your characters' class). Costume unlocks count for the character only, not other characters on the same account.
-
If You are looking for a very rare Kit - I'd propose doing the Surface Tension Episode - You will get a class-specific Kit with [Will]x3[Undine] - which is also part of the Counter Command (ground) Reputation set. Kit modules - are indeed a problem (unless You made a Delta recruit, they ((did)) get some decent ground gear…
-
Minor update - still missing the definitive choices for all factions on first playthrough of Delta Quadrant patrol Episodes.
-
I usually go bughunting using the Adapted MACO/KHG gun and shields - and the Counter Command Armor, kit and rifle for the health bonus and the poison resistance. With the current content, one can mix and match items from different sets to good effect. Fleet ground gear is very nice - but may lack a sometimes useful set…
-
And where exactly - pray tell - will a new player find better gear? Yes, he might join a fleet to have access to fleet gear - which is all nice and fine as long as one has enough Fleet Credits and Dilithium (not to mention the neccessary fleet ressources). A new player rarely has that much Dilithium to spend, though.…
-
I don't mind at all, I hope it is a bit of use to someone. :) Admittedly, DR made it a bit more difficult with the constantly updated episode rewards.
-
Not a bad build at all - and You can even upgrade the winter/summer event ships to T5-U (there is a button for that in stoacademy right above the ship picture) for free. I'd have done a few things differently - but yes, that is where personal taste - or my (!) learning curve starts. Keep the ideas coming! :)
-
Only to bring this back up - the challenge was to build a ship with 'nothing but DOffed, mission and Rep loots'. While the build You propose might do around 15K, You will need the components from the Advanced (or Elite) mission loot to get the equipment - the very equipment You need to pull Your own weight at Advanced…
-
DR update after the October 30th patch: I am not completely sure if the one responsible for the selection of the Episode rewards knows what he is doing. From the previous, if repetitive selection of Phaser Beam Array [Acc]x3 as a no-brainer in the late game content, we got a variety of rare items with rather limited use.…
-
First episodes of Delta Rising added, more will come as soon as stowiki is updated.
-
Aaand just to provide the probably obvious plug with tips on where to get at least some of the (Very) Rare BOffs - and perhaps some equipment to experiment with... *points at the signature* :) As it has been mentioned before by thunderfoot006 - Fleet gear might be something to look into as well: Tactical consoles from the…
-
And in case You were wondering where to get some of the items mentioned here besides the Fleet installations... *points at the link in the signature*
-
No, You can only get the Romulan Borg Science Officer from the Lobi-Store and You can even trade the box it does come in. In addition, they can get the Liberated Borg BOff from the Zen-Store - and the Borg Science BOff. Apart from that, KDF and Federation characters can get Romulan and Reman (NON-Borg) BOffs from their…
-
I am curious as well and I do hope that even more of the older episodes get reworked rewards. F.e., some episode giving a choice of rare tactical consoles would be grand. To make things more canon, it could be Phaser Relays for Federation characters, Disruptor Induction Coils for Klingons and Plasma Infusers for Romulans,…
-
I tried myself on a slightly different variant making use of the Gravimetric Photon Torpedo/Proton Particle Stabilizer (increased Crit Chance) and the 2-piece Counter Command Set bonuses (both Deflector/Engine and Turret/Console). Polarize Hull might help You getting out of Tractor Beams and other movement impairing…
-
I am happy that this thread is of some use - and I will try to keep it updated. :)
-
Welcome back to STO, then! :) As You plan to have Your Vesta upgraded, I'd propose having a look at Elite Fleet gear. You will find Warp Cores and Engineering Consoles at the Fleet Dilithium Mine, Tactical Consoles and Space-DOff-Slots at the Spire, some (Plasma-damage increasing) Science Consoles and Kits at the Fleet…
