One of my Characters (tac) still flys a Galaxy -R too.
Before you just copy any build think about what you expect to do with your ship.
I use this ship mainly for soloplay or STFs (normal).
It is not intended to heal others, or provide huge amount of support. This ship is not an escort nanny.
U.S.S. STARDUST II
Weapons Front:
3x Polarized Disruptor Beam Array
1x Quantum torpedo Launcher (180 degrees)
Weapons Aft:
3x Polarized Disruptor Beam Array
1x Hargh Peng Torpedo Launcher
Deflector: Borg
Impulse Engine: Borg
Shield: MACO
Devices:
Red Matter Capacitor, Deuterium Surplus, Engine Battery, Subspace Field Modulator
Consoles:
Engineering: Neutronium Alloy MK XII, Ablative Armor MK XII, Saucer Seperation
Science: Borg Assimilated cosole, Field generator, Isometric charge
Tactical: 2x Disruptor Induction Coil MK XII
BOFF
Tac: FAW1, Torp Spread 2
Engineering: EptW 1, EptS 2, Eject Warp Plasma 2, Aux to Struct 3
Engineering: EptW 1, EptS 2, Directed Energy Mod 2
Engineering: Engineering team 1 (* don't know what else
)
Science: TSS1, Hazard 2
DOFF
2x CONN (evasive)
2x Energy Weapons (special Beam attacks)
Warp Core engineer
* At least this slot should become a universal one IMO.
Tactics:
Since i am mostly on my own i don't have to act as nanny for other ships, i can fully focus on keep myself alive and to do damage on my enemies.
I cycle 2x EptW1 and 2x EptS 2 so i almost have constant 125 Weapons and 125 shield energy. To be honest, for most enemies in PvE i don't need Tactical Team. So i can maximize the damage potential of that ship.
When a battle starts i fire "attack pattern Alpha", FAW, TS and of course EptW (in alteration with EptS, whichevers cooldown is finished).
I start Evasive maneuvers and Eject warp plasma to nail the enemy ship on one place , do a flyby and fire the Hargh Peng on it (i have set this one to auto fire, just as all beam arrays).
Once it is fired, i turn my ship and start fireing boardsides. As soon as the enemies shield collapse i fire the Quantums with Torp Spead and the enemiy is history.
When fighting a bigger number of enemies just look where the biggest concentration is, fire "Evasive Maneuvers" + "Attack Pattern Alpha" + "red Matter capacitor" (you can use a Aux battery in exchange too), Activate "eject warp Plasma" and do a flyby on them. After that, fire the Isometric charge and don't forget to show them your rear so the Hargh Peng can do it's work. After that, just start doing Boardsides and fire the Quantums when the situation allowes it.
BTW: i play on elite difficulty and it works very well. You won't even have to seperate the ship all the time.
I hope this was helpful.
I hope my english is understandable, since most of the time i find it difficult to find the right words in my native language.

CRYPTIC, please give us Cruisers that do not feel like a punishment, starting with the Galaxy Class:
enhanced exploration cruiser retrofit 3 pack
very little work for you + 50$ from me = a huge leap in our friendship!

It's a matter of principle, because it's the Enterprise!
But i thankyou for your advice in the above post, and i'll try out what you reccomend.
Also : It's not actually that bad when the saucer section is decoupled, it moves just as quickly as my Akira class

It also means you can load all of one dmg type into the tact consoles, rather than having to add a photon console in there too Just my thoughts |

Here's my current build: http://i.imgur.com/WWZVa.png However, i was hoping for some advice. Genrally the ship preforms ok, but doesn't really do that much damage and is absolutely hopeless against the borg (Once any shield is down, the entire ships going down). Although an engineer, this is my first cruiser O.o so i would apreciate some advice on how to make it...die less and kill more! -Thanks |
PvP? PvE? DPS ship? Tank?
Are you spending most time in saucer sep'? If so, I wouldn't use so many RCS consoles and then the DBB makes sense.
I would keep with one energy type and use tac consoles to buff that particular energy.
I would also use one torp' type (on in front, one in rear)
I'm not sure what the mine is really going to do for you
I'd make sure that I had the shield capacity science console, not the shield regen' console (I mix the looks of them up).
For consoles, once you found what you are happy with, be sure and get the highest level and rarity you can afford.
Im not sure what that console in the middle of science is, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. But you do have a bunch of the "gimmick" consoles, maybe too many, maybe not.
My 'R is with a Tac Joined Trill that I use for Tanking, moderate DPS, (with the saucer separated). I'm running around 18' turn rate (w/o saucer) , I have a 5 BA broadside. One 180 torp in front, one 90 in the rear. It does pretty well. I especially works well in Starbase Blockade and other Fleet Mark missions.

a VERY advanced galaxy R build.
http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/sh...&postcount=171
so far the best, most damage dealing galaxy R i think is possible to make in game, because thats probably what you all want to use it for right?

the pvp build and help thread
galaxy class 3 pack proposal common cryptic, the galaxy model prints money at this point, give us a version that isn't so terrible and charge us $50 for it

The only problem I have with the 4 single cannon/ 4 turret combo is it doesn't have a killing blow to it, otherwise its one of my favorite set-ups for a fire support cruiser.
