The problem as I see it, and why many people might be crying "moar tac" is not necessarily due to feelings of entitlement like others are trying to point out but the current state of the game and how its been for quite a while now. I'm a support player at my core. I've always played support roles (mostly tanking or team…

Words cannot express my disappointment in this carrier. I've been flying carriers in the game for kdf (and with the feds on the ships that were available) since I was first able to, and I had really high hopes for this ship. I was ready to throw all of my money at this carrier (or pack), but after today's blog I'm not even…
-
I would back that idea
-
As a tactical officer who has piloted offensive carriers (and actually thinking about going back to an offensive carrier build from escorts again), no I do not think you would need to respec out of your dps oriented build unless you were going to build a full on tank. My core damage skills are all at 9, defensive skills…

I'm not in game right now, but right off the top of my head... Fore Weapons: 3 Rom DHC [acc]x2, 1 Rom DBB [acc]x2, 1 Rom Hyper Plasma Torp Aft Weapons: 1 Rom Turret [acc]x2, KCB Borg MK 12 Deflector and Engine, Elite Fleet ResB Shields. Eng Consoles: Borg, Tachyokinetic, Zero Point Sci Consoles: Embassy Plasma infused MK…

Jack of all trades, master of none. Thought about equipping a golf ball ship with my tac and making due with that lol
-
I can make any ship work for it's purpose. Honestly, I'm pretty experienced when it comes to ship building for PvE and PvP. I've played pretty much every combo and I can be efficient enough, but I'm not entirely satisfied with anything and I can't stick with a play style to master it. For example, I just finished about 6…

in other MMOs, mainly fantasy based ones, I've always played a tank main, and a warlock or other pet command types like webdeath mentioned. Admittedly, when I first started STO, I picked the tac because I thought I could make a dps tank out of it, it wasn't long after that I found out I was wrong lol. But I stuck with the…

Not a bad idea Dabelgrave. Now, if only I can come up with a challenge lol. @snoge I wish it was that simple for me. Though maybe I need to play my alts a bit more to see if I like any of them better. I really haven't been satisfied as of yet.
-
Ah ok, then by all means keep the Aux2Bat. The DEM with that Doff is a good combo. You def don't need the EPS console then.
-
My opinion on your build, keeping within what you have set up for the most part... First think I would do is move the Borg Console and the Zero Point console to engineering in place of the RCS and the EPS consoles and replace them with two more polaron consoles. If you are going to use all beams, broadsiding is probably…
-
ok. Thanks for the advice mimey
-
Thanks for the suggestion. Now, if only i can decide on and stick with on ship...
-
lol yea both are DHC's. I'm not sure what I want to do, I guess that's part of the problem lol. I switch ships a lot, most of the time daily. In my breen ship, I use a plasma build. But im wondering if phaser would be better overall. I have all ships on my main (tac), which is my problem and why I can't decide on a single…
-
OK cool. I've tried building the jem dread and using it, but I cant seem to keep it alive long enough in my tac. Granted, I was using a DHC build and using it like a HEC with the JHAS fighters. Question though, you would use the full borg over 2 piece borg and elite fleet shields? And, I know you said avoid plasma but what…
-
could this be used with a Tac captain?
-
I've also been debating with this myself. I have the three pack for the andorian ship. I also have the fleet HEC. I currently fly the breen ship for most things. I do ship hop a lot. I have never really settled on a ship. My main is a tac captain and I own pretty much every end-game ship. For the breen and the Fleet HEC, I…
-
I prefer using the torps, especially in PvE.
-
Since you're not using torps, and there really isn't anything else to put in that ensign tac slot, you really dont need the tt recharge con officer. You'd be better off with a con officer that reduces time time for attack patterns or a brace for impact doff. And you don't like using APO? you could probably drop the apd,…
-
I'll try to help out. I have the fleet hec myself, but I haven't used it much admittedly. Though I would imagine I'd use it like any other escort I fly. If you have the console slots to spare, then the two neutroniums are fine. However, I think one would be sufficient. Same goes for the field generators. Sure it's nice to…
-
for the most part, I'm going to have to agree and say no. I've had some success with it in PvP. I would imagine because it's so small people have a hard time targeting it with all the spam that is present. I've won a few 1v1 dog fights, though I would imagine it was because either the enemy underestimated me or was…

I.G.V. Claymore (Andorian Khyzon) Tac Captain. PvE build. Boffs: Tac: TT1, CSV1, TS3, APO3 Tac: TT1, TS2, CSV2 Eng: EptS Sci: TSS1, HE2 Uni: EptS1, Aux2Structural or HE1, TBR Fore Weapons: 4X Romulan Dual Heavy Cannons accx2, Romulan Hyper Plasma Torp Aft Weapons: Romulan Turret, KCB Eng Consoles: Borg, Tachyokinetic Sci…

thanks for the tip radkip

I already have both ships in question, so the money wouldn't be the deciding factor. I was one of the lucky ones and got my bug during the christmas event when it first came out. I have pretty much all the ships in the game, which does leave me indecisive a lot of the time unfortunately. I have ships set up for different…
-
With the andorian ship im using 4 DHCs and the rom torp. That's a good point though that you brought up. When I was comparing and debating the ships last night, I didn't take into consideration the whole picture. I was just wondering about the dps. My bug does bring much more to the table overall.

The Flame Thrower Fleet HEC Fore: 3X Rom DHCs, Rom Torp Aft: 3X Rom Turrets (or 2X Rom Turrets and KCB) Deflector: Borg MK12 Engines: Borg MK 12 Shields: Adapted MACO MK 12 Consoles: Eng Consoles: Borg Uni, Neutronium MK 12 Very Rare, Tachyokinetic, Sci Consoles: MK 12 Very Rare Field Generator, MK 12 Embassy Plasma…

Thanks Grim, I have the Fleet HEC, though I haven't really given it much play time honestly, except to mess around with a trans torp boat experiment. I dont know why I dont think of EWP as a viable control ability, I usually just think of GW for that. But burning everything down sure does look nice for a closet pyro like…
-
I have both the Jem HEC, and the Jem Dread with the bug ship pets with my Tac Captain. To be honest, I stay alive better in the Jem HEC than I do in the Dread. This is mostly due to it being faster, so better defense, and more engineering BOFF slots. I really want to love the Dread, but because it is not as tanky as I…
-
darramous, what class captain are you? My main is a tac. I really want to love this ship, but I find it squishy compared to the other big ships, mainly due to the lack of engineering and science boff stations. I have an engineer buddy who can tank in this for days for obvious reasons. I'm curious how you find the…

I have my tac in the dread and I love it. Suits a tactical officer that likes carriers.
