@asardetemplari it's on tribble @hakaishinlegion Sorry to hear that you're leaving STO man: if you don't want to have to build a starbase, you 'could' join a fleet that's already building at top speed, so you wouldn't have to PVE any. we could use some good pvpers.... :) I'm intrigued that you put an engineer in the uni…

tac on an atrox would be interesting: you'd probably have to use beam arrays since it's just so slow. you would want to have 2 FAW, 2 Attack Pattern Beta, 9 points in attack patterns, put that debuff on everything that moves.
-
Hakai, what would you do with the fleet assault cruiser? Don't forget that the last boff slot is a universal Lt., it's hard to tell. What are your thoughts on the subspace jump console? is it enough of a maneuverability increase to be worth slotting on a big cruiser like the GX?
-
a great idea, but honestly (maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me), I think that cryptic is trying to drain dilithium from the market before doing a crafting revamp that focuses heavily on dilithium. think about it, why else shut off the foundry daily for so long, close down the ker'rat daily and everything, in addition…
-
when you say mirror sovereign, are you talking about a star cruiser that looks like a sovereign, or a sovereign that looks like a star cruiser?
-
I'm getting ready to try out Phased Tetryon weapons on a fleet assault cruiser when that finally comes out. do combined weapons like that have a higher overall chance of applying a special effect?
-
Oh, sorry about that: I'm comparing Fleet assault cruiser: http://tinyurl.com/cglnzg7 with the Fleet heavy escort carrier: http://tinyurl.com/cot3ecj note: I am an eng captain, looking for a ship that can tank a tac cube but also do high damage. Also, on the fleet assault cruiser refit, it's hard to see but the last Lt.…

What are your thoughts on the fleet assault cruiser versus the fleet HEC for an eng captain? I know I'm comparing apples to oranges but I could use some input
-
I'm not usually one to complain, but I 'am' sorely disappointed that there isn't a fleet oddy version... Guess I'll just wait on the cstore sovereign...
-
on the PVE topic, I've been able to do quite well with 4 DBB and 2 copies of FAW, using a tac oddy. My record on Blockade is 20 ships of 21 saved. However, I do use the chevron sep module incessantly. It's hard to imagine flying a cruiser without it, honestly.
-
if you're going to try to run an oddy in PVP, it can get rough if you don't have the chevron sep module. don't forget that a beam array oddy only has 70 degrees of optimal damage output.
-
speaking of tholian lockbox ships and BOff setups, I'm going crazy with curiosity over the mirror universe assault cruiser.
-
yeah, the large number of enemies that is so common in the new missions really make me wonder if I should be switching to an 8 beam 'moar fire at will' setup. The forward pointing thing was primarily best for grabbing tac cube aggro and getting high single-target numbers. Now suddenly that's been totally swapped around…
-
here's the trick: even after the fleet starbases are completed, there will be big repeatable projects that people can contribute for for fleet points. Effectively, there are an infinite amount of fleet credits that the system will provide. It's only a matter of time.
-
get an armitage
-
2 piece omega?? Hadn't considered that, now that's intriguing.
-
I was actually planning on running 1 TT with 2x of the conn officer doffs that reduce the TT cooldown. With those 2 doffs I can keep TT up every 15 seconds without having to burn a valuable tac slot. I was under the impression that the single DBB with BO is going to net me DPS, do you think my numbers would be higher with…
-
armitage can make a decent healer/tank, I've heard. good amount of eng slots, plus you can use healer drones instead of fighters.
-
this is funny, because my fleet had people begging to be allowed to contribute some dil to the windows. We got all 200k in less than a minute. I wish it did require meat flarks, because that's the one I enjoy farming :p
-
well, the way I see it, is would I rather have a 10% chance of proccing a shield heal, or moar DPS. If I was a shield tank (which is now much more viable), I would consider it, but honestly I don't need more tank at the point, I need more pewpew.
-
that's true, I honestly do very little moving in the new missions (except blockade of course). I've updated my doff listing, thanks for the awesome help. Now to actually go into the game and make the changes :P what do you think I should do for gear sets? borg engines and 2set maco was what I was thinking.
-
Doff options are a good thing to mention, the trick is that the best 'team' ability by far is tactical team, and he only has 2 tac slots.
-
actually, that's really useful. the wiki confirms that extend shields is based on my shield power. TIL!
-
Star cruiser is a tough, durable little ship, with the DPS of a slingshot. It would be a good choice for the setup you describe, min deeps max heals. I didn't think TSS used your shield power setting, according to the wiki it uses the aux power setting. I encourage you to take a look at my tac oddy setup, which attempts to…
-
Hey Hak, I could use your critical analysis skills on my new PVE tac oddy build. Now that PVE is required for fleet advancement and a bit harder (woo!), a dedicated PVE setup will be valuable, don't you think?
-
2 tac team doffs is a good idea, that would let me drop a tac team an put an attack pattern in. If you had to choose between beta and omega, which one would you pick? BTW, tac team wins blockade too. I actually just wrote a blockade guide on my fleet website, check it out if you get a chance…
-
Actually, I've been considering the 3 cannon 1 DBB setup myself. You can get a lot of bang for your buck with 2 copies of CRF and 1 copy of Beam Overload for spike DPS. Currently running my tac oddy with 4 DBB and 2 copies of BO. I don't see exactly what 'utility' you lose here other than not being able to stack the same…
-
which ship are you talking here? I don't think shields + aux is such a good idea, why shields if you're never going to get attacked? If I were you I'd run maybe 90 weapons and then the rest in aux, with 'no' shields since it would be rare to be attacked. I've made a few changes on my setup, mostly dropping both copies of…
-
the interesting thing about saucer sep is that I can basically leave it on all fight. if my saucer dies, it doesn't matter, I'll keep the boost until I decide to start the 5 minute cooldown. Can an oddy equip cannons? I wasn't sure.
-
I was thinking about this ussult, what do you think about tanking and DPSing with the oddy saucer sep on all the time. would that be worth it, it basically makes the oddy an escort.
