I was deep diving into the STO Better teams carrier offerings (YouTube update worked guys!)

But, I noticed the Nausicaan Stingers were highly ranked but I never see anyone using them. I realize the Elite Valors are a little better but I find it odd that these guys are not a thing.

Is the ranking wrong?

Trying a cloaky torp boat build but I am confused on which TAC consoles I should be using.

All the plasma torpedoes have initial kinetic dmg that's MUCH higher than the plasma dot that comes after.

So it seems buffing the kinetic dmg is the obvious choice. However which buff on my consoles do i need to make sure that kinetic dmg is boosted and not only the plasma?

Then aside from my normal weapons I have the destabilized plasma torpedo

• Plasma Projectile?
• Torpedo Damage?

Etc

I play STO on and off so I only recently found out about advanced engineering consoles such as the isomagnetic plasma distribution manifold. So I am thinking of creating a toon with this console to try something different.

I understand you can't use an advance engineering console with an advance tactical console like the fleet spire ones.

I do also have a few questions

1. Can I stack it with the regular tactical consoles which boosts a particular energy type. For example if I built an AP beam overload build, and I find a ship with 5 engineering and 4 tactical then stack 4 AP mag regulators and 5 isomagnetic plasma distribution for a 9 x 39.4% boost in damage (assuming epic Mark 15 grade)

2 Given the boost with max power from the isomagnetic plasma distribution manifold, is it worthwhile to still have a plasmonic leech as one of the consoles. Assuming for either a BO or CSV or FAW build.

3. Is it "cheaper" to acquire one of these rather than fleet spire tactical consoles given it can be crafted (I have a toon with level 20 in all crafting and several others with level 15), and I don't have to earn fleet credits to buy it.

Fleet Mogh Disruptor Build

Build Info

This build is loosely based on Jay's Vor'Cha BO build on STOBetter, altered for the Fleet Mogh and using some stuff from my main's Arbiter build. It feels... kinda clunky to play, compared to my other characters. I'm thinking I should probably go full cannons with CSV but I'm not sure. I want to stick with Disruptor damage, and my Isomags obviously. It just feels weird to have Cannons AND Beams on a build that isn't Surgical Strikes or Miracle Worker? Like I'm missing Attack Pattern: Beta. I'm also thinking I might switch to the Fleet Colony deflector and Competitive Engines with Stamets-Tilly Warp Core and Shields -- would that improve DPS? Are there any good replacements for the Nausicaan and Martok sets if I did go full cannons? I do have access to the Withering Barrage trait from the Malem Light Warbird.

Besides gilding everything and spending a fortune on better traits, BOFFs and DOFFs, what can I do to improve my DPS? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

There have been many event rewards, some better than others,

The Challenge, if you choose to accept it,

Create a viable, or just fun, build, using ONLY event rewards

So im using this from stobetter to build my ship up https://www.stobetter.com/intro-builds/eph289/bo-world-razer just wanted to know, as my character is an engineer, would the personal traits still work with my character. As the are aimed at a tac officer. Thanks in advance.

Room for improvement?

Hey all, I've been trying to chase DPS with this toon (starting with 40k DPS ISA PUG, now parses about 180k-200k DPS ISE), but currently I think I'm lost on what to do next to take it to the next level.

So far I've few issues:

- 1. survivability - in some elite TFOs this ship dies too easily after shield is gone

-2. DPS - I wonder how to make it into 500k+ DPS range

What would be a low hanging fruit for improvements?

Please let me know if I missed anything. thanks

Hello, this is my Disruptor CSV DEW-Sci build on the recently released T6 KDF Dyson Science Destroyer, intended for elite gameplay, solo and in team. I'm always open for any questions and comments. Exotic damage sources are Deteriorating secondary deflector, console clickies, Spore-infused anomalies, bridge officer abilities and Tholian warp crystals. Best regards!

SPACE

Build Description

• Loadout for Science mode
• All isomags have disruptor modifier
• Aux batteries on spambar with VR Quartermaster doff (2/3 uptime of 128 Aux power, then gradually decreasing over 10s)
• Borg doffs are 32 of 47 (Sci-CrtD, Intel-ExoticDmg) and 47 of 47 (cooldown Sci-Intel)
• Focusing on synergies and taking into account what build-components scale with
• Ship choice: On DEW-Sci platforms with naturally limited sci seating compared to pure Sci boats, I personally prefer Intel over Temporal spec, because in contrast to Temporal, Intel abilities also trigger SIA anomalies. Ship comes with really good Proton Eruptor Module console, and I like the ship's visuals
• Some resting global stats: 101783 hull, 215% hull regen, 34,4% CrtH, 160% CrtD, 224 (246*) CtrlX, 243 (265*) EPG (*boost from Revo deflector during combat), 132 weapon amplification -> +58,3% Exotic CrtD (Revolutionary 2-piece)
• Threatening stance off: Aux2SIF for +3% CrtH (Strategist spec), low cooldown Boimler trigger, effects scale with Aux
• Disassembler Emitter's scaling passives: 26% DEW cat1, 28,5% Exotic cat1
• Shield's Aux scaling passives at 128 Aux: +15,7 DEW cat1
• Deteriorating SecDef has [SA+Dmg] for Sensor Analysis damage buff
• Skill tree is generalist and tactical-leaning with 3 points in Control expertise and EPG
• Structural Analysis' and Ionic Turbulence's DRR debuff scale with Aux
• Bridge officers are all Superior Romulan Operatives, one of them also has Superior Infiltrator and one has Superior Subterfuge -> for increased cloak ambush damage boost: 30% cat2 for 15s
• Ground doffs that boost space are: Elder Malik'itan, Neal Falconer, Ang the Vicious
• resting power levels:
• 158/100 weapon (166 in combat because of Proton Eruptor's max weapon power passive)
• 46/15 shield
• 95/70 engine
• 53/15 auxiliary (at 128 two-thirds of the time)

Experimental Power Redirection or Immolating Phaser Lance (w/o Universal Designs) for a forward facing DEW Lexington build? Not super focused on DPS maxing, but I'd like a hybrid of fun factor and damage. Any opinion is appreciated. Thanks.

Just in case it is not clear from the post title: "Solo" ISE does not mean joining a Random or PuG group in a team of 4 other players. "Solo" in this case really means me, a singular ship with no other teammates, against the entire ISE queue.

I basically transplanted my recent Solo ISE Vengeance build onto the Lamarr, with some minor tweaks, to see how it would fare. The DPS declared in the title was the result of the second run.

I wish to emphasize that this build post is NOT an endorsement of the Lamarr as a platform, nor is it an endorsement of DEW-Sci as a serious build type. I am merely trying to see what I can get away with DESPITE those and several other suboptimal things on this build.

Space Skill Tree comment: My current generalist skill tree. My rationale for the lack of Engi skill points is that EPS Power Transfer and Nadion Inversion on this toon should have the ship power aspects well covered.

Solo ISE run "strategy":

I dare not claim what I am about to share here is "suggested practice" in any form, but below is what I employed for my latest run:

1. Upon map load: Deploy Hangar pet 1st wave, enable TempOp Offensive Config, and Kobayashi Maru.
2. 20 sec mark: Activate EPTE, Hangar pet 2nd wave, Cloak.
3. 8 sec mark: Activate CSV, TS, EPS, BO, EPTW, Flagship, AES, Aux Batt, FPNA, and Evasive.
4. Combat start: Dash straight towards main Tact Cube. No vertical movement, just straight ahead.
5. Use Agony Redistributor. Unleash Spambar and all other clickies.
6. Maintain range of between 3-5km to main Tact Cube. 4km just to get in Dampening Wave Emitter.
7. Reuse clickies as soon as available.
8. If I make it past the opening phase in time: Head for left Transformer.
9. Use Agony on the Transformer, CSV+EPG everything in sight.
10. Deal with any remaining Spheres/Probes before heading for right Transformer.
11. Use Agony on the Transformer, CSV+EPG everything in sight.
12. Head behind Gateway to deal with it and the Spheres while keeping out of range from the final Tact Cube. Still not confident if I can take on both the Gateway and Tact Cube at the same time.
13. After Gateway is dealt with, face down the final Tact Cube.

Hello community, I'm playing that build https://ufplanets.com/showthread.php?79631-Universe-Temporal-Heavy-Dreadnought-Cruiser&highlight=universe+temporal and I don't know, which second traid makes as most sense for the meta. Maybe Eclectic Collector of Armaments or The Ruin of Our Enemies or something else? I hope for some recoomandations by you. Thank you. :)

Hi,

I have this Phaser CSV build on the World Razer, which I use for Elite randoms and I have managed to get 230k DPS at best. I usually find that I die multiple times during some TFO's like HSE and ISE and others as well. I know this is happening since I am generating too much threat and aggro but I have no clue on how to deal with this problem. I would appreciate any help.

I have attached the link to the build on Terran Imperial Guard since I wasn't able to find the World Razer on the automatic build template.

I am a F2P player FYI

Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to our penultimate update for the year. This time, we’re featuring content from the Heritage bundle, updated builds and guides based on hangar research, and a slew of other new content to explore.

If you’re new to our site, our goal is to be the best resource for STO combat mechanics information anywhere and a top-tier guides/build resource for PvE gameplay on both space and ground from level 50 to 1.5M DPS. Our core competencies are mechanical knowledge, process, tools, and technical writing/presentation. Shipbuilding is an application of that knowledge, but we're also not trying to chase the peak ISE/HSE/BHE meta super hard. As always, you can find us at: https://www.stobetter.com

#Builds

##Jay

• Durgath It’s been a loooong time, getting from there to here. It’s been a loooong road, but the Durgath is finally here. (Editor’s Note: I thought we said he was no longer allowed to sing!)

• Friendship Jay has been keeping up with all of the new carrier toys and now his Friendship is the highest-performing carrier we’ve personally seen or flown with at 1177K, with over 55% from pets.

• The Hydra slept silent for awhile, allowing a RRTW build to shine as our energy leader, but now it has awoken and reclaimed the energy DPS site record at 1400K. Hail Hydra!

• Atlantis Jay has his first midrange build and it’s a newer concept for him, Beam Overload on the Atlantis

##Eph289

• I’ve hinted at this already on reddit several times, but I have actually built a real carrier this time on the Herald Vonph. I’ve had a Vonph collecting dust for years and this was a good opportunity to take all my collected carrier knowledge and put it to use with new content from the Heritage bundle. It’s up to 1072K, of which over half of that damage is from pets

• The Eagle is now up to 1536K with some new toys from the Heritage bundle and is our first build to crack 1.5M DPS.

• The Support Hiawatha is now freshly refitted with the Subspace Fracture Tunneling Field console for even more cooldowns and is up to 244K / 531% debuff

• My ERL Gagarin has been transferred to the Achilles and, now with Hexa-cannons, is our first ERL build above 1M DPS at 1019K.

##Tilor

• With the release of the Typhon, we finally have an Economy-tier Torper on our site. While not quite the highest-DPS of our Economy line of builds, it’s not far off at 840k. It’s not quite a carrier build, but could be a stepping stone in that direction.

• Tilor’s Tzen-tar is now his highest DPS ship at 1338K and sporting some shiny new upgrades.

Our full table of builds is below:

#Editorials

We’re adding this section to help explain stances/decisions we’re making. For example, why we’re testing on solo ISA, why we don’t use the Fleet Power Network Array, and what we’re doing about Tilor’s reddit being gone.

#Feedback Form

The list of dropdowns was getting unsustainably long, so we’ve condensed it. Yay, no more doomscrolling!

#Guides

• Carrier Basics has had some nominal updates to account for new heritage bundle content and point to the tier lists

• Progression has been updated for Heritage/13th bundle content and a Carrier section

• All the Revisiting Exotics are now under Guides and Tilor did some cleanup on them to condense them.

#ICYMI

• Revisiting Exotics 23 covers a couple of newer Proton consoles and Cascading Gravimetric Disruptions.

• Mathbusters 9: Advanced Cooldowns and Uncon covered cooldown mechanics for channels and Unconventional Systems (Editor’s Note: it does not cover Subspace Fracture Tunneling Field, aka Vovin console)

• Mathbusters 10: Heritage Bundle Pet Testing

• Torpedo Effects and Damage 7: Event Torpedoes and Ship Consoles

#Tier Lists

• We have a Carrier Starship Trait / Personal Trait / Duty Officer section of the tier list now (doffs are really just Flight Deck Officers)

• We have updated the survivability doff tier list slightly for Dal R’el and the Na’kuhl space warfare specialist for exotic builds (is quite good actually)

• We have updated the tier list for traits from the Heritage bundle as well

• We revamped our presentation of carrier pets as well to clean it up and added data for Elite Type 7s and Elite Valors

#Tools

• With thanks to /u/ShmooDude993, we have updated the CDR tool to better account for channel cooldowns and fix some errors, now up to version 3.9.

• TRINITY - a handful of new exotic consoles from Revisiting Exotics 23, Temporal Tunneling, Portal of the Damned, and Flagship Staffing. We also added Breen 2-and-3 piece and corrected an issue where manual override of uptimes wasn’t working, applied -DRR from DRB correctly and fixed its cooldown. Now at version 1.7

• ALICIA - Added consoles from the Achilles, Lo’laH, Premonition, Vovin, Obelisk Carrier, Friendship, and the Pahvan Crystal Battery. Now at version 0.9.1.

#Printables

Tilor has updated his printable for boff cooldowns with a few minor updates to cooldowns. There’s also a new printable on Upgrades! This should be your go-to guide for the best way to upgrade your gear.

#Videos

• We’ve added tutorials for Gateway to Gre’thor, Brotherhood of the Sword, and some bonus videos showing how we do our testing. Also, Tilor posted a Fractal Integrity Bleed build breakdown for maximum hull-scaling damage and an upgrade video.

#Thanks

Our continued thanks for members outside the immediate team who nevertheless have contributed immeasurably to our success:

• Everyone who has donated to Tilor to help him and his family recover from Hurricane Helene.

• Mrs. Eph289, who’s been supportive of a lot of gaming and spreadsheet time, and has been flying support to help us push our builds. You remain my favorite captain to fly with, forever!

• Our good friend Grim, who has been such a huge help!

• Our fleetmates in Zion Fleet/Terran Imperial Guard who accompany us on our hijinks, specifically Mickster

• /u/DivisionMuEpsilon, who helped teach us how to use the Vovin console and has been flying with us some as well

• /u/Pottsey-X5 who's clued us in to several new toys our carriers have benefitted from

#Giveaways

As a way of saying thanks to all of you who supported Mr. Tilor and his family during recovery, we have some giveaways to offer. To enter, either leave a comment on the reddit thread or send us a Google form response with the keyword “Helene” in it. We’ll draw winners in 2 weeks on 9 November!

• 1 Infinity Prize Pack (T5) - keyword T5, not T6

• 1 Mk XV Epic Plasma Isomag

• Romulan Survivor Duty Officer Pack

• 1 Mk XV Epic Disruptor Hangar Craft Power Transmission

• 4 Lockbox keys

#What’s Next

I’m itching to start optimizing my other two Exotic builds with some new toys and still have a handful of builds to X2, update, and re-test. Look for updates to the Damar, Dranuur, Support Scimitar, and Lexington next time. Tilor is building out an Economy-tier tank. Jay has some older builds he wants to update. For TFO tutorials, we’ll be tackling Khitomer Vortex, and a TFO of YOUR CHOICE to finish out the year. Fill out the survey to vote. It’ll remain open until the end of the month!

Thank you for reading this update and participating with us as we update STOBETTER in 2024! We look forward to learning more and helping people build and fly ships in STO better!

This is my first time posting on Reddit and unsure of how to post screenshot link from a phone so I’ll do my best to format this as easy as I can.

Looking for any knowledge anyone can pass down to improve my cannon scatter volley build. I’m somewhat happy with my damage output (except when doing elite) since I can generally one shot multiple low rank ships and kill medium and higher rank ships (frigates, cruisers and battleships) fairly fast. My only issue is my mobility and survivability, most of my ships and escorts are pretty sluggish and I lack the knowledge on any kind of ability (besides pilot) or consoles or traits that can help with this. My main mobility comes from the competitive engines and evasive maneuvers which don’t last long and are on downtime often enough. My survivability is basically just kill everything as fast as I can so they don’t shoot back but obviously that doesn’t work on elites. My biggest struggle is deciding on what I would replace to improve these two factors without effecting my dps too much, I can afford most end game consoles if I don’t have them already but probably lack in the trait department. I tried to keep this to as little reading as possible so I do apologize for the wall of text

I’ll share my current build that I share with my my ships I run CSV with minor changes to other ships being this one is my current best.

Character: Engineering

Ship: legendary Avenger Miracle Worker Battlecrusier X2

Weapons (all epic): Fore: Terran task force phaser DHC MK XV (crtD/dm) (dmg)x3 (proc) Pulse phaser DHC MK XV (crtD/dm) (dmg)x4 X3 Wide arc phase DHC MK XV (arc) (crtD/dm) (dmg)x3

Aft: omni pahvan proton BA MK XV crtD/dm) (dmg)x4 Advanced inhibiting phaser heavy turret MK XV (crtD/dm) (dmg)x4 Omni phaser BA MK XV (crtD/dm) (dmg)x3 (arc)

Shield: Tilly’s review-pending modified shield MK XV Deflector: elite fleet intervention protomatter deflector array Impulse engines: prevailing innervated impulse engines MK XV Warp core: mycelial harmonics matter-antimatter core MK XV

Consoles (all epic)

Engineering consoles: isomags (phaser) x4 Science: dprm and bioneural infused circuits Tactical: fleet power network array, domino, adaptive emergency systems, subspace fracture tunneling field and dilithium transporter Universal: isomag (phaser), immolating phaser lance and experimental power redirection

Stations (all SRO bridge officers)

Lietenant universal: kenocite laced weapons 1 tactical team 2 Ensign universal: tractor beam Lt. Commander tactical: torpedo spread 1, attack pattern beta 1 and CSV 2 Commander engineering/Miracle worker: emergency power to engines 1, emergency power to weapons 2, narrow sensor bands 3 and mixed armaments synergy 3 Lt. Commander science/intel: viral impulse burst 1, ionic turbulence 1 and gravity well 1

Starship traits: calm before the storm, the ruins of our enemies, universal designs, cultural conquest, over powered and over gunned, withering barrage and thirst for battle.

Space reputation(all rank 2): Tyler’s duality, magnified firepower, precision, advanced targeting systems and counter stroke

Personal space traits: Grace under fire, Terran targeting systems, pseudo submission, the boimler effect, unconventional systems, intelligence agent attaché, fresh from R&R, innocuous, operative, self modulating fire and fleet coordinator.

If anyone read that and has any kind of recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

I am looking for some advice in order to reach out my goal: having an Excelsior Refit class as much as canon as possible. Obviously, following the FED armament around the lost era and TNG, at the moment I've equipped my ship with Phasers beam banks and one Photon torpedo launcher just to be closer to the original armament. But since it's an Advanced Heavy Cruiser it does also have a Command Specialist BOFF and here I am not sure how to best use it. Here are a couple of screenshots from my current set up:

• https://i.ibb.co/yBTtGzs/Screenshot-2024-10-25-152113.png
• https://i.ibb.co/ykvJs2x/Screenshot-2024-10-25-152127.png

Definitely it's a working progress so feel free to provide any advice you might have about it.

Also, I am currently running Advanced TFO with this set up and I am quite enjoying it, but if there is anything I can improve and also reaching out my goals, that would be perfect. Thanks!

PS: I've forget to mention, I am looking for something budget or with Reputation and Dilithium unlock, so nothing with Store purchase or Lobi.

Flagstaff - Ship Builder -

With the traits I'm using, does the various bonus damages stack and how would I check?

Thanks.

Also, any basic criticism/suggestions appreciated.

Note: I don't max weapon power. It runs north of 150 all the time in a fight and I figure I'm getting bonus damage from other powers being at 100 or more as it is that might be worth the difference.

Edit: Slightly modified build is under Loadout 2:

Flagstaff - Ship Builder -

Heyo Trekkies,

I've played Star Trek Online on and off over the years and bought a fair number of ships in that time, but I never really stuck to the game because I could never find a build that didn't require insane gear that I would never have the hope of ever unlocking. I want to have a viable build that I can use early on and be effective, rather than suffering as I work towards a build I might be able to achieve someday.

I won't pretend to understand the different item stats in this game, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to see what I put up here and tell me if I can make something useful out of all of this. When I see people offering advice for ship builds, there is often a ship recommended that you need to purchase in order to get a specific console or piece of equipment. So I'm going to list the different ships I've unlocked and the special equipment pieces they have, and I'd like to see what people would recommend as a build with the items I have available to me.

At the end of the day, I prefer builds that have survivability, but I also love carrier builds. I don't care for glass cannon builds because I don't have fun respawning regularly. So with that in mind... here are the ships / equipment I have unlocked.

I'm going to list the ship name, special items they have, and the special stat you can get from leveling it up fully. Based on what you see below, what would you recommend as a build?

Edit: After deciding on what build might be best, is there a certain Reputation tree I should get equipment from? Reputation items will probably be the easiest pieces of gear I'll come across, outside of doing story content repeatedly.

I'm starting a build for this recent ship I received from the event, for my Fed. Tactical Captain and I want it to be with CSV. Now the trick here is its got to be with Fleet gear, Reputation Rep gear, and gear from mission rewards & Crafting from R&D. And with Phaser Dual Heavy Cannons. I do have a number of ships I've managed to accumulate, but there's so many it's hard to pick them all, as y'all probably understand I've tried picking some that have had notable consoles like the Domino, traits like the Boimler, consoles from the Vovin, the Lexington, the miracle worker flight deck carrier, the Arbiter, the Adamant, Cyclone, Jem'Hadar Vanguard Dreadnought, M'Chla Pilot Bird-of-Prey for its trait, Khopesh Tactical Dreadnought, the Hyperion, Lukari Dranuur, Alliance Rex Pilot, the Vengeance, so any assistance or help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated no matter how weird it may seem, oh and I do want a ship with good balance between surviving and tank. Some good principles are at Stobetter however they don't have a build guide for this ship because it's only a recent ship anyway I've rambeled enough so I'll leave it to you guys.

Hello all,
I've recently gotten back into STO after a while and found that now, when playing content aside from episodes, i have quite some trouble staying alive in space. My damage output is fine for what i need it to do, and I know damage = survivability to a degree, but still it doesn't work out for me.
I also feel like my skill tree is probably all wrong and would like some advice on that too!
Thanks in advance. :)

I see people talk about 100% uptime from FAW mostly. how is this achieved? is it possible with to do it with BO as well? My understanding of the global cooldown (15s) cannot be shortened. what am I missing?

I'm getting around to finally working on different weapon type builds and chose phaser as my next choice. Thing is im wondering what consoles to look for outside of D.O.M.I.N.O. and exploiters/locators to look for? Main build won't be able to use exploiters/locators since it's a pet build.

Welcome to the weekly questions megathread. Here is where you can ask all your build or theorycrafting related questions that might not warrant a full post. Curious about how something works? Ask it here!

Hello folks, I'm creating this to put some thoughts out there that I've posted in various places recently, This has been posted predominately because of a certain (now deleted post) on /r/sto. (Note: I am banned on /r/sto). This might be relevant in the future, and the mods over here seem to have a more moderate opinion of me as of late (I also have no interest in burning this bridge).

I would send this to DECA, but I wouldn't want to waste any of their time. I know that it's very likely they already think like this, and I don't want to waste the time and good will of only DECA employee I have any relative access to.

A couple of weeks ago I did up a video about the Generic CSV Platform. This is rather rare for me as I don't like to create content like this, but I felt the content would be informational to some people who may not fully realize how obvious it is to some of us who have been building ships for 10 years now.

I've now done a followup run^1 demonstrating that philosophy with the Lamarr. As a background, I purchase ships arbitrarily. I did not really go into the Lamarr with the thoughts that the other people in the community had besides some off the cuff comments about how bad the Bridge Officer seating was compared to my expectations. Overall however, the ship does "what i want it to do", and some comments about the ship by certain members of the community are way overblown, namely around how bad the ship itself performs

As for performance - it performs at the level as I'd expect with this loadout - that being it does the same damage as every other "Generic CSV Platform". This is fine... except its not and I think this is where most of the trolling originates from (confusion and misrepresentation around expectations from the community)

There are four reasons why anyone goes out of their way to buy a T6 Promotional Choice Pack ship.

1. The platform is stronger or more unique than anything available from other sources (Vaadwuar Juggernaut) - an element of the game's pay to win aspect.
2. The platform provides a very strong Trait or Console (Eclectic Collector Of Armaments, Bio-Electrical Wave Capacitor) - an element of the game's pay to win aspect.
3. The platform looks pretty (Kelvin Constitution II, Constitution III)
4. FOMO and being an early adopter <- I am here

I will play both sides here and say that 1-3 are subjective, however, I will also say that 1 and 2 have physical statistics backing them where 3 does not. 4 is here because I'm being honest with myself - I really like buying something minute 1 after a patch drops and sharing information about it with the community.

I am also going to be honest and say that the Lamaar absolutely does not fall into categories 1 and 2, but does fall into category 3. I think that the community is very conflicted over whether or not a ship can be sold for $300 on #3 alone. I personally do not weigh any of this into the equation, but I am willing to say that some changes to the Lamarr could have been made at the systems design stage to make this ship more desirable.

• Out of the 468 T6 ships, we currently do not have a 5 Fore Weapons Commander Science Ship. This ship would have been the ideal candidate - a rather rare ship category (Science Dreadnought) in the most premium ship category (Infinity Promotion).

• The Bridge Officer layout is not thematically correct for the ship. An Intel Secondary would have worked well here (I even built my Lamarr with a covert/stealth theme), as well as the thought that the ship is way too Engineering heavy with a Lt. Cmdr Engineer station.

• The Starship Trait could actually be good by extending its duration so that we finally get 100% uptime with FAW.

But at the end of the day when someone claims that a ship is "bad" or "not meta" - largely discard their opinion unless they can back it up with words (or do the testing yourself). I'm an awful pilot, and even I can do enough DPS with the Lamarr because at the end of the day Star Trek Online is a Pay to Win game where the platform itself largely does not matter.

Hey boys I'm trying to make a new anti exodus build but I'm having trouble getting the dish, It doesn't Have the reward inside of the mission operation gamma & another issue is the toon I need it on I can't get the hail to pop appreciate any insight thank you!

I'd like to put together a biuld for my Romulan toon. A ship that decloaks and attacks with a single (or small number of) powerful weapons that cripple or destroy the enemy. I've done beam spam, cannon spam, torp spam and space magic. I'd like to try something more...well, Romulan.

Is this possible in STO?

Hey Ho,
like I already stated, do you have experience with isomags on a minelayer build (compared to vulnerability locators)? I do not really have the ressources to just try it out. I guess the difference is not that big since mines will not benefit from weapon power, but I thought it might still be a nice boost on my front weapons.

I run the build on the Vorgon Ytijara (3 fore and 5 aft weapon slots). The ship has 5 engineering console slots.

Any help is appreciated. :)

So, I want a Surgical Strikes III platform but with some conditions: It has to be from the Z(C)-Store, it has to be maneuverable and capable of using a type of Battle Cloak. With those conditions I basically got either the Adamant or the Faeht.

I'm leaning towards the Adamant, but I wanted to hear more opinons, and maybe If I missed another option.

The Detapa was also enticing, but it doesn't have a "battle" cloak.
