The best D'kora build I could design for my engineer is the following one.

It uses no tactical team, and expensive doffs doubling only ensign abilities, but: sci team. This because with sci team, no aux power is needed. So in that way also the drain/recover issue with AtoB builds is avoided. My experience is that an engineer does not need TT if ST is available every 15 seconds.

To do some descent damage as an engineer, I use tet-glider (engineer has to use everything at his disposal...) combined with BO, HY and CFR.

I guess this build can also be used by tac's and sci's.


Front: 2x DHC, 1x DBB, 1x (quant) torp
Back: 4x turret

Full omega set (also for the gravity anchor)

Eng consoles: Borg, tachyokinetic converter, neutronium alloy, D'kora battle mode 3000
Sci consoles: Flow cap, shield emitter, field gen
tac consoles: 3x tetryon pulse generator

HY1
BO1,CFR1,APO1
EptE1, AtoB1, ES2 or RSP2, DEM3 or EPW3
EptS1, AtoB1
HE1, ST2

Doffs: 3x technician, DEMdoff marion, BFI or torpedo doff

yes, mixed equipment is always a good idea. Depending on your class, and whether or not you want to tank with the ship, use either (if science) Omega shield, borg engine and, deflector. If you are an engineer, use M.A.C.O. shield and two borg equipment. Or, M.A.C.O shield and deflector and borg engine. (Personally on the lower class galaxy, as with my Intrepid i use full Aegis set, nut i digress...).

Tell you what, send me a mail to @apocalypse2001, and let me know the following: what class you are, at what level your reputation is with Romulan and Omega, and what level your embassy is at for Science, and I'll create a viable build for you.

well, phasers are an old favorite, and i just like using them on fed ships for RPer like reasons. to get the most out of DEM though, disruptor. to get the most out of tet glider, tetyron. ether hybrid would work well too. this ship isn't likely to be hitting hull directly through a down facing, so the cutting beam is of little use. that goes for anything not using DHCs really.

running AtB but using damage control?

Oh that's very nice, but you don't have to do that, i know that's a lot of work.

I'm just a crazy guy trying to outgun some Escorts with his Galaxy Class.


True, using the Cutting Beam on that ship won't be any good.
And no "Omega Weapon Amplifier", i think i can live with that, since most of the time weapon power is at 100 - 125 and more (i think).
Since i won't be able to smash enemies shields anyway i think i switch to Disruptor cannons+turrets. Combined with Romulan Mk X Plasma Infused Consoles i hope they will do a good amount of bleedthrough damage.

Thanks guys

good you noticed. technicians of course.

Steamrunner is one of the few escorts that has base hull regen higher than others (it's same like sci ships 3% base instead of the regular 2,5%), and my tac captain is human, so what the hell, I thought why not try passive heal escort, especially when steammy lacks science stations. So I ported my ultra hull regen cruiser build to it, and well, it's really fun and tough like hell.

Obviously, I'm evil bastard, so I'm using subsystem engines III to pin the enemy down. Otherwise is probably pretty standard A2B build.

ive been thinking about a 2 AtB steam runner too, for the lulz. might work alright in a pugmade with good healer coverage. it would be very versatile, have alpha strike and aoe capabilities at the same time, no need to swap boffs mid battle. would be a terror to a carrier team
