15K sustained DPS in a Dreadnought on the character you described seems a little far-fetched, tbh, what parser were you using? Got a combat log to back that claim up?
I recommend having a full complement of beam arrays and dual beam banks to swap out as required. While not necessarily appropriate for all occasions, 5 dbb across the front works extremely well if you buff up your turn rate a bit using strategic maneuvering, etc. I will run either a full complement of each or a combination…
It's actually a good idea to advertise your fleets availability for people to convert marks to credit, anywhere you would normally be recruiting, as well as in the public service channel. I always get a response when I throw it there in chat.
... not quite sure what your point here is... who said they weren't? Edit: and now that I say that out loud, I wonder - just how different do you think they are? They both are most effective with very similar builds (in my experience), and I'm not here slamming the Dreadnought by any means - it was the first c-store ship I…
re the Dreadnought vs. Avenger query, I have the fleet versions of both and after a couple of days with the Galaxy X, I said TRIBBLE it and went back to the Avenger. Decloak and crit spike hit with five fleet AP DBB's across the front with an almost guaranteed hit gives me much more of a thrill then the hit-or-miss lance.
Not sure about your skill tree because that link you posted doesn't work, but if you have no points invested in flow capacitors, the plasmonic leech is pointless. Flow caps should be maxed, and you will notice the increase from that console.
So done with paying real money for a slim-to-none chance of getting something tangible out of this game. Say no to lotterized F2P games like this, too bad so many sheep dump so much money in to these companies pockets, making it more than worth their while to continue selling you a 'chance' to actually get something worth…
Quite honestly, if you bought this ship without knowing well in advance what you were getting, you're a bit of a dumbass. These same complaints of yours are old hat by now. Anybody who was able to make the Galaxy-X work 'adequately' before should be able to make it work 'great' now with the improvements, either way it will…
I'm tac captain, own the Galaxy-X, Defiant, Prometheus, Atrox, C-store Avenger, now the Fleet Avenger, and it's by far my favourite ship so far - prior to that would have been the Defiant. I may or may not spring for the Fleet Defiant and/or the Fleet Dreadnought, but the Avenger seems to be so multipurpose and bad-TRIBBLE…
Easy enough to join a fleet temporarily to get access to a fleet ship, jump on NoP Public Service channel someone is usually willing to help, BYOFM of course. If it were me I'd go with Fleet Avenger, you really can't go wrong with it.
If anybody needs access to a small fleet currently grinding our holdings to Tier 2, feel free to hit me up in-game @landshark666 anytime in order to convert your fleet marks, dil, etc. to credit. We always have all our project slots full and ready to contribute to, no restrictions or limitations! Cheers.
The reason I left this game a while ago was due to the lack of pvp options; now that I'm back I'll stay until I get bored with it again, but yet again there are no new pvp options to throw my newly improved ships into once the game content is done. There is and has been along, such an opportunity for Cryptic to create…
