There doesn't seem to be anything about carriers in here. Why is that?

Check my siglink for Kilawpilath's guide to carriers.

I have a well's on my engineer. Will this be a viable build with an engineer? (sorry, noob question)

[quote]Do these really help that much to lose the two slots?

Even though its cheesy until changed, would not TBR1 be a good choice for a Tac low-Aux build?

You could go
PH1 TBR1
HE1 ?

well, i sort of have a burning hatred for them lol. i do plan on adding some though, and bops. and i will try to make them as nasty and hate-able as possible, not going to hold back for my own best interest.

that should work fine i would imagine for an eng. as well as anything will work with an eng. an eng with a sci ship though, i have seen energy weapons builds work well, with as many points and consoles into flow cap as possible for max tetryon glider damage.

i would have to say absolutely. both give plenty of extra crit, borg gives +5 to weapons power, temporal gives about 3/4 what a turn rate console will give, and they both give some graviton too. so between the 2 you have more then 1 graviton sonsole will give, more extra weapons energy then even the best energy console would give, a whole bunch of crit that no other console gives, and 3/4 of a turn console. all in 2 consoles.

its been fixed, you don't need to worry about TBR crushing you anymore. without a bunch of partial gens to back it up,TBR doesn't do much damage, and this ship only has space for 2. its proboly the ship with the least amount of consoles to work with. 4 tactical has to be filled with 4 tac consoles, its innate console HAS to go some were, your just left with 4 up for grabs.

i would recommend TBR on more durable ships with room for more heals like the sci LTC vet ship, or something like the fleet vorcha, or a more conventional escort. but this ship with your only hull heal being HE1, im not comfortable going into battle with just that. with lots of aux from an aux batt, HE2 does a TON of healing.

on this ship i find a tractor beam works better, especially if you want to keep people stuck in EWP. TSS is extreamly helpful at keeping your shields intact and guarding against lots of incoming damage. i really cant recommend going without them. even with very little aux thier minimum effectiveness is very helpful. also thanks to AtB, you have omega at its global for good tractor defense up time.

[quote]Noted. Glad I bought one.


I thought I was seeing far less use of it than last Time I went to Ker'rat.

Thanks.

Here is the build I had/have originally, from top to bottom:

1. Anti-proton Beam Array; Chroniton Torpedo; Anti-proton Dual Beam Bank; dual Chroniton Beam Bank
2. Full Borg Set
3. Anti-proton Beam Array; Chroniton Torpedo; Temporal Disruption Device
4. Sub-space Field Modulator; weapons battery; Shield Battery
5. Rare Neutronium MK XI; Rare Neutronium Mk X; Uncommon Ablative hull Plating MK XI
6. Tipler Cylinder; Field Generator; Field Generator; Shield Emitter (all rare MK XI)
7. Tachyokinetic Converter; Assimilated Module; Subspace Jump

1. Engineering Team I; Aux power to structural Integrity II; Reverse Shield Polarity III
2. Tactical Team I; Torpedo Spread II
3. Engineering team I (I know that's redundant - I'll change that to something else probably)
4. Hazard Emitters I; Polarize Hull Plating II; Tractor Beam III; Gravity Well III
5. Science Team I; Jam Sensors II

As for doffs, I think I had 2 rare shield doffs, a technician that provided +15 auxiliary power. I think I also had a Nurse that provided incredible crew recovery, and a rare projectile doff. (One, I think, might have been a Tholian warfare specialist; against borg).
At the moment, I haven't been able to sell anything, so I don't have the EC to buy what I need in terms of doffs.

let me recommend some station powers. first of all, no EPtS, and 2 crappy ET1. your not going to have much successes if you don't have EPtS on all the times.

TT1, TS2
EPtS1, RSP1, AtS2
EPtS1
JS1, HE2, TB3, GW3
ST1, TS2

this will basically do what your build does now, but better. should keep you alive better and allow you to attack better. AtS2 and HE with high aux will hep your hul healthy, and TSS, ST, RSP and EPtS1 will help keep your shields nice and strong.

with TB3, i would suggest 1 TB doff, wile the TB is on you will drain shields, against targets with little power insulators quite a bit. with GW, you should also equip a GW doff or 2. the other doffs can be BFI, or anything else you would find useful.
