Don't be fooled by that image! Those high beams pack a punch harder than the lance of the Galaxy X.

The real one, or the one in game? Cause the one ingame, a high bar it isn't.

Purdey.. now i miss the lift bus Ryder days... my stick shifty standard was a garbage scow.

Certanly not "Cute as a bugs ear".

Both! Blinded by high beams and being hit by a bus doing 60MpH or the Galaxy X (Z's HDX in-game) decloadking, subspace jump, DEM 3, APB, and lances through my shields with her tac, critting me to death on a single shot. Neither are like cuddling with a fleece blanket.

Z really knows her builds well and I am thankful to be able to test my ships (means they explode consistantly) against hers to see how they hold up. Every build has a weakness and this is Z's true strength. Finding that weakness and ripping a hole in your hull open big enough to pass Jupiter through. My uncanny Vest abuild for example. I had no clue what I was going to do with it to keep the Aux DHC's but Z suggesting something that literally made the build go from useless to practical. Tractor Mines! Staying on target was a huge challenge until using these. Keep the Runabouts and the Borg Tractor Beam all help in imobilizing a target instead of me trying to chase it like an escort. Most would find this build impractical but it's one I enjoy, works well in PvE, and holds some promise for casual PvP. If anyone is interested in it. I can post it in our shipyard section on 10ites.com before heading out for the holidays this afternoon.

Does anyone have any earplugs?

Taking the unconventional and making it conventional since 2010

Ah... yes... for example, most people agree that the Holographic Decoy console is kind of useless. The decoy ship doesn't last very long, has a long cool down, doesn't have much health, doesn't do a whole lot of damage, and your ship can't attack as long as it's out.

But then you realize that the Holographic Decoy and Subspace Jump consoles don't share cool downs.....

Is that a euphemism for being hit by a bus?

Don't give her any ideas!

A good reason to want more console slots.. Happy Christmas Eve You Z..
and minions of 10

I would use more of the univeral consoles if they had specialized slots. Other than the Cloaking Device and Multi-Vector Assault Mode consoles, I only use the oodd other on ships they came with. The KDF 1,000 Vet Day reward ship has a nice console for it. Not using that really takes away from the ship like the other two I've mentioned. With the Vesta, I use the Focus Phaser and the Hull/SHield Repair because those compliment the build on a ten console ship. If I could only use one, it would easily be the Hull/Shield Repair console.

Happy Christmas Eve to my favorite person in the whole wide world, all of the 10ites, and everyone else!
