  • Thanks for all the advice, some very interesting reading and looks like i'm off to save for the Competitive set pieces. Going through the story list at the moment so no rush for end-game gear yet but nice to know what to aim for :-)
  • 'Tanky' as in able to go into the thick of battle and take all the damage the NPC's can give out (Strictly PvE) reyan01, thanks for advice, I will try the Iconian set once I get the Dil and Marks for it :-)
  • Thanks for advice, I have around 350 EPG so to boost EPG I may have to sacrifice some CTRL X as a lot of my consoles are Exotic damage + abilities such as Deplhic Tear and anchor. I guess I could sacrifice my Isocinetic cannon x3 piece for a few more EPG consoles.
  • Never tried an all-cannon build before :-) sounds fun
  • Thanks for the advice, if I went with the Undine 2 piece set, what would you pair with the turret? Turret + Torp? Turret + Tac or Universal Console?
  • How about the Resonant set?
  • Thanks, so just use the console on it's own for the Disruptor buff?
  • My Rom is fed aligned and yet I bought it from the console pack... just sounds inconsistent
  • Thanks for the replies :-)
  • New Rom stuff?
  • Thanks for the clarification, I knew there was a reason behind the Morrigu love :-) One Quick further question... How do you raise your Aux so high? Special consoles/warpcore set?
  • Thanks for all the advice, but checking the Kopesh/Flagship bundle, seems the consoles are not that great (and a 4th behind an event ship I don't have) so worth getting the bundle or splashing out on a few separate ships (Such as Vastam and Kopesh)?
  • Thanks for the advice :-) Which Command bundle are you talking about? The Command ship Bundle or the Flagship command bundle ie T6 Scimitar)? (Both have Command abilities)
  • #NeedT6Undine
  • Enough with the Fed ships.... What we need is a Undine T6 (Dreadnaught maybe) ... Strange how some of the lesser power races have some amazing T6 yet the poor Undine are languishing at T5
  • To be honest, With Steam and many other MMO's having a Summer sale, seems strange that STO isn't ... I have several RL friends with cash to spare and time to play - a sale would get them spending and playing.
  • I main a Rom Tac and I just don't get the love for the Morrigu? I have it, used it to get the trait then binned it to the Dry dock... 4/3 on a DHC build (which I use) is a waste compared to ships such as Pilot ships with its 5/2 layout = more forward guns = more damage The morrigu you sacrifice a forward gun for a rear…
  • Didn't they have a 'Summer Sale' last year around 30th June? 15% off both ships and Zen? Hoping for again as I have some spare cash to spend :-)
  • Impressive but no idea how you managed to (or seemed to have) constant APO up? 'or some other turn-rate buff', I'm guessing some Doffs/Consoles which probably cost more than the ship itself hehe
  • Thanks for all the advice, I am fling as a Rom Tac, and do have access to the Rom carrier, although looking at the ships, maybe the Sphere builder carrier would be better (I also have the Sphere builder frigate pets)
  • Seems the boss guy spawns under the map... I was able to get around this by deploying crawler mines and gravimetric traps around the area.
  • Well, as I am new to the whole 'Carrier class', Scramble fighters I was told by my Fleet would be invaluable, especially with the pet buff and carriers seemingly becoming useful. Anyway, with the Risa new ship being a carrier, I am thinking the low price Scramble Fighters will soon be bought up and re-listed at a higher…
  • Yeah, that was a typo on my part... meant to say 45 Deg... And as for firing in sequence, I was pointing 6km away from a target head on and after the first volley took almost 8 seconds for my main cannons to fire again! Surely that can't be right?
  • So, on an Escort/Warship type ship, which 2 abilities wold best suit? Maube Recursive shearing as a builder then maybe Rapid Decay?
  • Yeah, the needing of 2 abilities (Builder and Spender) are what is making me mostly ignore the Temporal abilities... I was looking at the Lobi Husnaak Warship and it has a Commander Tac/Temp seat! So to get the best temporal use out of it you would have to sacrifice 2 Tac abilities - a sacrifice I don't think is worth…
  • Thanks for the advice... but I have a follow on question... Would sacrificing DHC's for beams offset the +25% bonus I get from the full Nausicaan set? 'In other words, would I do more than 25% damage using DHC's than DBB's? if so, maybe i'd be better sticking with the 2 piece set and fitting cannons.
  • Thanks for all advice, as i'm a Tac capt'n, I won't be using Science stat consoles but I guess I could use recursive shearing? Stick on recursive shearing then blast away
  • Thankyou for your advice, I did/do run a Disruptor build so I will replace the Sci consoles with some of the new ones from the (Echoes of light) missions.
  • I main a Rommie and I was getting excited to gamble on getting a new shiney for him to fly... until I read 'Enhanced Battle Cloak' :s Only useful if you plan in making a torp boat, otherwise normal Rommie battle cloak is superior, and as I don't use torps... no point getting the ship :-(
  • As someone who buys some Zen to convert to Dill for the upcoming Upgrade weekend, I would say a high Dill to Zen rate is perfect... Why would I want to buy Zen and convert to dill for a paltry 200+ Dill ? Seems only the free to play players are bemoaning about the high Dill cost so they can get zen without buying it to…
