Just returned after about 5 months looks like a lot has changed. I was hoping someone could help me out. I have been looking through the forums for the past couple days and I got some answers but was hoping for some more specific details.

I ran a pretty cookie cutter setup back then on MVAM, I really just do PvE, mostly the fleet and Omega qued stuff.

TT1/CSV1/TS3/APB3
TT1/CSV1/
TS1
EPTS1/EPTS2
HE/TS2/GW

3 DHC Borg AP Mk XI
1 Quantuam Borg MK XII
2 AP turrets (1 MK11, 1 MK12)
1 Cloaking mine launcher
Borg 3 piece set (mk 11 now I see)
Maco Shield Mk 11
Plasma Resist armor/ Power transfer module (for switching pwr to aux for better GW)
2 Field Modulators/ Assisimilated console
4 AP consoles Mk 11

I was working on the Mk 12's before I left but didn't get very far

Is this setup still viable? I didn't see any posts about anyone really running it anymore

I ran a regular Cure yesterday, it didn't go as smooth as it remember it, but that could be b/c I am pretty rusty (was trying to remember where all my keybinds where)

<------------------------------------------------->

2nd part of my thread is about fleet and this new reputation system.

Looks like if I want to get the MK 12's I have to work on my Omega reputation. I have 1500 Marks at this point and did all the Tier 0 stuff last night. I am on the right path with this?

I also saw that there is a nice new universal console that helps crit chance from the Romulan stuff, can anyone throw me a bone and lead me to where I can get a walk through or something so that I don't get my face rolled by just queing up?

I'm eyeing up some of those new fleet ships, problem is my fleet is inactive and we are just about to hit Tier 1.

I contributed a lot when it first started and racked up over 100k in fleet credits, would they transfer if I left and joined up with another fleet? Is this something people do, b/c I can see this getting exploited to an extent and people fleet hoping just to get the ships they want.

Any feedback and/or help, would save me hours of digging

[Borg] Space Weapons are no longer buyable. There's only the Kinetic Cutting Beam and Omega Plasma Torpedo in the Omega Reputation chains. If you want MK 12 AP weapons your only viable option is the Fleet stores.

The passives are somewhat nice, and my guess is that STFs have been balanced for both Reputation chain's passives and the new Fleet stuff

All your Fleet credits, marks and ships go with you from fleet to fleet. People fleet hoping trying to get the Fleet stuff they want is one of the facts of life nowadays. Bribing or asking directly for a specific Tier fleet doesn't seem to be very well liked in main chats, and any that list specific Tiers for recruiting tend to have extremely high requirements for access to provisioned stores (6 figures on the leaderboard...) Annoying if you're in a dead-end fleet and could really use things like the threat scaling science consoles.
