At the moment I've got 3 Blue torpedo Doffs on, the exocomp and a green one that reduced bridge officer cool. Ok, I'll rejig me bridge officer powers and post back later


And yea, I couldn't afford any new doffs, the field generator cost me nearly everything I had!

The game's mechanics don't run against it. Any good combat impulse engine in the game will achieve the same results defalus wants to achieve WITHOUT pointlessly crippling yourself.

Again, it is inaccurate unless you don't know what engines to use.

In an escort, however, I can easily hit the 20 cap (it is 20, right?) with an Aegis hyper-impulse engine on about 50 power (i got quite a bit of overflow due to having specced into power production on my characters)

add me in game @Wenom_Lord i will help u how to do anything in game and with ur ship build and maybe to do respec

Maybe I should have explained where I was coming from a bit more clearly, I was suffering from a lack of sleep the day I posted.

On my ships (usually escorts/raptors) I always run two copies of emergency power to shields, this both boosts my shield power and offers resistance for my shields against incoming damage. My power is always set to 100/25/50/25, although my power spec and efficient boffs usually have my shield and aux power levels floating around 50 power and I always use an aux battery to buff my heals (HE and TSS) when I really need them. The whole keep your engine power high thing was because I saw he uses MACO engines and I thought they perform better at higher levels, maybe I'm wrong. (Yes I know I said defence as well.)

This isn't for the OPs benifit, just thought I'd pop back in here and say I'm just set in my ways and I know what works for me. I set my boffs, doffs and skills up to get the best result I can and it usually works for me.

4 things I think everbody need: Hazard emitter to cleanse the ships from hazards, Science team against sci debuffs, engineering team against engineering debuffs and tac team against tactical debuffs.

If you lack one, you die. Pro Tip: take 2 copies of tac team 1, tac team 2 is unnecessary.

While all 3 teams are useful, slotting all 3 at once is a waste. Unless you really have nothing else to slot (or are a "pro going in a premade").

You just couldn't really use them. Also you'd want activate the proper "anti-debuff" as soon as possible. You're either dead when not using it right away, or you just didn't really need it.

On top of that, I believe the OP is mainly running STFs, where there is no need for the Eng and Sci team debuff cleanses (and the healing can be provided by Aux2SIF and TSS).

I just got the Vesta pack and love it. For STFs I load in the Borg EDS set and armor up with the appropriate eng consoles. Two Aux cannons up front, with fast loading trans torps from the Breen eps. Tet turrets behind sometimes I'll also load a cluster torp. I double up on hull and shield heals including the hazard emit. Viral matrix seems fairly effective in momentarily freezing those cubes from firing the plasma beam on you. The only time I get killed is when I don't pay attention to my hull strength, otherwise, I think Vestas are the best ship the Fed have for STFs and Red Alerts
