OP: Perhaps mention "tackle" build for targeting ships like BoP/Escorts. There isn't much I've seen to prevent escaping cept level 1 gw which isn't too tough to get out of (granted I've skimmed over most of the posts following the 1st page).

Off topic: I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my settings (I have things set so I must manually target and no auto fire no auto apply buffs to friendlies etc), but I haven't really had issues w/SS.

Why has your advanced cruiser has an EPS console equiped? Energy weapon refunds are no longer affected by this allegedly. So what is the purpose? To recover faster from full impulse and power drains?

My guess: Beam Overload. It drains 50 energy, and that's a pretty big DPS loss afterwards.
The drain from BO is still affected by the EPS transfer rate, only regular weapon fire is not. It's effectively a self-inflicted energy drain.

Good call, didnt think of that

quite funny how you didnt mention any klingon ships, you not fly them ? or mayb you simply missed them out, but i dont agree with neally all your builds but its ok for new premades

Instead of coming in and saying you disagree,then leaving, maybe try offering suggestions for improvement? KTHX

I generally run with an EPS console in my Exe. It helps greatly when switching between power settings. My mates are appreciative of the fact that I can go from 134 weapons to 100 Aux in 2 sec, send out aux dependent heals; then, switch back to DPS.

Will it not be more eficient to just pop an aux battery before a heal burst? I find it more efficient since i have a million batteries stored and I have an extra engineer console for resistances instead?

As I've said before, these are not be all end all builds, they are simply my personal opinion (some of which are outdated due to recent power changes). The biggest thing to remember is to use what works for you.

That being said, I will try to update some of these builds with my latest thoughts sometime in the next few days.

I do that (or a RMC) when I'm focused. If I'm not the attention of the love, I'm not gonna waste the resources.
