To be honest, faw really is only OP when it comes to three things: 1. Visual DPS 2. Area effect 3. Energy usage By visual dps, I mean the fact it sprays everything means it loses a lot of effective dps (ie, dps that goes to the hull) compared to cannons - but as only the total dps can be seen (as in total wasted on shield…
A possible compromise could be the Nandi or a ship similar to it... it can carry torps and a fore dbb if needed, a gw and a few other bits and enough eng for survival while some rcs and a aux2damp doff/power or pilot team will take care of the minor turn rate issue
My current non-lab sci build (fdssv) has near 50/50 on part gen/grav gen and does about 14km in terms of pull range with decent damage...(more is the rom rep is active, usually picking up the tholian swarm behind the ce) As to my opening combo, it typically is: Hit sensor analysis at 10km, then at 5/4km hit the rom rep t5…
I do similar, albeit I keep my torps that work like each other (and are not detrimental if they take a power) on autofire, putting stuff like the tric/trans cluster on my ships rear so I can execute a quick spin to deploy and then return to face forward (coincidentally gaining distance, thus potentially mitigating damage…
An intresting thing would be to alter fleet marks to be simply fleet credits (of course, altered to reflect the value of fms to fc conversion) - thus projects cost fleet credits instead of fm, and commodities/doffs/dil simply add more fc to the pile In my opinion, the fm->fc conversion is uneeded as all it does it force…
I'd be happier if the emotes were useful, such as say, emotes for 'help' or directions - something that has a real use (as it'd remove the language barrier that can occur somewhat)
I've currently been using a quad cannon/bio/grav photon torp combo on the flight deck raptor...its pretty effective, considering I soloed the capital ship group in the tholian encounter (plus it looks awesome, quad and turrets blazing as it unleashes a hailstorm of torpedoes)
Fed: Whatever they want at the time, including the other factions flavours as the flavour makers will bend over backwards for them KDF: Double chocolate, but one chocolate was given to the feds and the makers refuse to add the other chocolate Rom: The current fed flavour combined with mint (the current fed flavour hides…
For me it was worth it for the wtf value among friends/viewers as the 'brick' (as I afectionately call it) could hit 100+ impulse, had a 35 degree+ turn with a tighter than expected turning circle and hit like a sledgehammer with its dhcs and cannon console blazing (it amused me every time I got a 'get another ship'…
Actually, theres the Qib trait (cannon use gives inertia boost), craftable engines can have +10 inertia (or +5 for the undine engine) and I think theres a few other things that increase inertia... You can, via them, a2d, epte, a frackload of rcs and a few other bits, turn the bort into a dhc using leviathan (although I did…
The Bort 3-pack... I love the ship (I did some crazy/fun things with the brick), but the only useful version is the command version with SA while the other two are just..meh, not worth the zen for the consoles (and zero kitbashing possibility) I hate the fact too I bought it as Geko was then trying to guilt trip us with…
Heh..now I'm going to have to put my guy in it, omega 2pc for the distortion field and lurk around esd, using the field every time someone approaches :p
Considering its a Mirror Krenim... ..could it be they instead figured out how to pull objects out of parrallel universe timestreams? After all, we have no idea of the potential hypertechnologies the krenim might have once erased in other timestreams...
Agreed...devs posting everything to twittard, spybook and Loseit annoys the heck out of me - their job is to post here, not every frickin' place besides the OFFICIAL forum and force me to go trawling through the scummiest sites on the internet for info that should be located here
Its probably that high due to the fact that ship improvement project would be vital to the dpsers as there would be plenty of dpsers who would slot it to enhance their dps for the bragging rights they value - as such, I'd treble the current cost :p if anything, the other two tasks should be dropped by half, and maybe that…
Indeed...its why I tend to ignore dps as it is as it means exactly squat as the faster the kill, the less damage taken and as you are not wasting damage on strong shield sides with spray and pray tactics, the lower the dps I consider beam array faw, scatter (to a lesser degree due to the cone), spread (to a degree) and dbb…
