Actual it seems im not good enough for piloting an escort, as a player that only played science ships for a year my current setup is already so zippy that i need to be careful to maintain weapon fire arc for most the time. Also i found the subspace beacon to be useful in different ways as you can also use it as a "get me…
DR was the biggest sci buff i've seen so far. Pre delta rising a sci had no use in a dps centric game, but now a sci is almost needed for the harder stfs, atleast he makes them a lot easier. A good sci cc-exoticer can protect the kang completely alone for almost 10 minutes - more than enough for the rest ro finish the…
Sorry, the tt 2 should be a torp spred 2, however you can chain 2tts or alternativly use atb or 2 doffs. Stealth module was the third worst console, however it is now efficient for intel team, as with 2 consoles it gives enough stealth for the averange player to not detect you anymore. Rsp is not needed at all means, but…
Oh your build could be much better. First, use 5 tactical consoles of the same type, get rid of the biofunction monitor. Also, get a better shield then mk x borg, maybe an a maco or romulan covariant, or a elite fleet. Just use 1 energy type of weapons, antiproton or romulan plasma or diruptor would be beneficial. Get rid…
Guys, just a question, but about what war are you talking? We are at peace with the Klingon Defense Force (A step between stars), the romulan empire is defeated, or atleast not longer a treat, our only enemys are the iconians that should be able to overcome every cloaking technology within seconds. So against whom you…
and what do you say to a fleet t`varo? It brings everything better than the b`rel, and it has a so good boff layout that really you cant use a lot of that all uni boffs - almost every boffseup you could thik about is brought by a lockox ship with doubled stats of a BoP, and the flanking bonus? do you think it is better…
hey, this is just a fed that does think he can not play without a cloack so he wants one - as if we would need a cloak to beat the evul klingons that talk about honor while hiding and always flee if its getting though :D
While the vesta is certainly ridiculous strong, the intrepid with this revamp would outclass her as a torp-tanky ship very far, and if T6 makes them obsolote - wouldn`t this be a thing why we should buff them? - only time will show us - the devs say no but they say a lot if day is long :D
I think fed dont needs cloaking device - we have so much consoles already, let the cloak be unique to a few ships. Also why should we now use cloaks while we did not before? If it would be because of the iconians, then why not use romulan battle cloaks for everyone because we fight them together (ironie!) Also it would rip…
I personally think you should test the dyson again. Your battle cruiser will have to use its com slot for sci, reducing its tac abilitys, so you have just left a lt and a ensing tac, so not many options and how do you want to go with 2 FAW and 2 TT? I dont see many offensive potential out there, and you will have to go…
Interesting idea. Maybe something like the dysons tactical mode: Active Ablative hull armor (active ability, cant be deactivated while in combat,o cd on deactivation 3min) The Armor slowly eats up you auxilary, giving you a -1 Aux per second, it automaticly goes offline if aux is offline. (Still the armor can be online for…
Actual, you do not need to set up for polaron procs to archive a drain boat, neither do you need flexability. You need Tykens 3, Es 2, TachyonBeam1 (for deflector doff), Aceton Assimilator, Plasmonic Leach and AS MUCH FLOWCAP AS YOU CAN GET. You are anyways an 1 trick vessel, so be sure to get subnuke 2, and you need to…
Just trowing in, the dyson sience destroyer is the strongest drain vessel you can find, as it can stack most flowCaps because of 5sci consoles+secondary deflector, also it has the needed punch to follow up afterwards. The Vesta is fine too and voth or wells would be the next coices, however 5sci consoles are quite…
OK, here we go with what i have to give as feedback: 1.You asked for statements to current game abilitys, so here we go: TacticalTeam: I think this is one of the abilitys that causes major problems which is mainly because of its shield distribution. This distribution is absulutely needed to survive any form of burstdmg -…
First at all: Well done sir, the U.S.S Utopia is one of the coolest ships i have seen so far. However i have a few questions about it: 1. How do you handle vapers without a tt? In the first post you say that you can manual distribute shields faster than tt could by the use of eps, however all threads i read about manual…
Ah ok, now i see a few things clearer. Also i found out my biggest mistake: The german sto launcher clealy says that transphasics have 20% additional Shieldpenetration, the english says 40%. i now set my launcher to english to avoid further mistakes. And hey, i did not got your tread wrong, i never thought you tried to…
Ok, as i see i got a few things totally wrong. First of all, thank you virusdancer for correcting my mistakes, i though have a few questions now. Now to the mistakes i have done: 1. I weren`t sure how the bonus torp-dmg points occur, so i left the undine deflektor out of my calculation, thanks for telling me how it works,…
Mines have a huge advantage on the t`varo with DPB3 as you can place 16 mines for incredible burst, however you need that commander tac, so not perfect for your ship. What you could consider to slot into the back: tricobalt torp ( additional burst). The omnidirectional beam array ( You can take the antirproton you can get…
Oh dammed, shame over me, i was mistaken, i referred to hipachilles not to you *_* Your build of course, is certainly viable and we already discussed this 2 pages ago, sorry for being confused a bit :D. Only your second cluster is still not needed, but its not a major disadvantage^^ And again sorry :(
I repeat: I was not referring to your build, that i cant see as it isnt posted here, i just referred to your quote where you said that 3 photons in the front would be viable. I totally see the sense of building a critphoton for uncoordinated mass pvp where there are folks without a healer to support them.
I never said i would totally disagree with a photon build, look on the last page, i even recommended it for advanced players. And i do not see your configuration, neither what ship you are flying. However i wrote something about your answer to hipachilles, where you said that putting 3 photons in front would make sense,…
Hey, for sure i know this is just a game, however when you ask something about your build then it may happen someone critisizes it. Also i dont like if someone answers to questions without knowing anything about the game mechanics, because another one might follow your wrong advice, leading to more stupid builds. And for…
Are you really able to slot the experimental proton weapon in the rear? On my vesta it says it can only be slottet into forward slots, will try again tomorrow. Also your Frontarc is a bit of an overkill. You have a averange chance of 50% per torp to reduce cd by enough to make your photons ready, so with 2 Torps you will…
As in the other tread where you asked, here is the answer, so everyone can see it as the other tread isnt linked: Sorry, but your build wont work out well, exept on infected, cause shooting 80% unshielded targets. Especially in pvp you wont reach anything because of your quantum torpedos, i think im one of the few making a…
@cepholapoid You are totally right, normal transphasics would be better, i just had no Mk XII ready for my damage calculation. Still i dont really see what the benefit of the photonics shall be that cost 2 consoles and bring less dps than additional transphasics. @hipachilles You are right there is totally no sense using 3…
Ah ok, can understand a few of your arguments. However i would be interested in what torps are boostet by grav/part gens exept the dyson one. And still i would like you to take a look on those photons, as by you are barley boosting them it may be that you could come to a better output using more transphasics that are…
Quite interesting build! Though im not sure why you use that lonely transphasic and the two photons, as i cant see what tac consoles you use. Also i think DPB3 is still a must, so maybe use a polarize hull ( also gives as much resistance as 3 Mk XII purple armors) against tractors. also you do not need TT on the t`varo,…
