I lost ~1k shields with the nerf. Not too big a deal. I actually think I died less (or, not at all) in Elite STFs last night. Didn't the change log say they weakened them a bit?

They were supposed to be getting rid of the one-shots, but I got one shot on 2 separate occasions - one of those times with full hull, full shields and I can't be certain but I'm almost positive I was out of range (I was chasing a target).

Did you check that while on the ground or in space? My MACO Mk XII shield lost close to 3k and my Cov. Mk X Capx3 even more.

They are well known to one-shot 15km and even further. If they're targeted on you and you leave their range, they still hit you. Not too sure why this is such an issue to fix but it seems worse with my escorts shields being lower as a result of the Field Generator Console changes. 6 digit hits are unsurviveable but most are still 85k and up.

Ya, this Field Generator nerf REALLY hurts Escorts

It really borks alot of KDF ships, its a really bad change imo.

Anything that borks the infinite get out of jail free combat cloaking KDF is fine by me. Effing B.S.

If I had 100% hull, I was usually able to survive a one-shot invisible torpedo. But, my hull would be anywhere between 12%-6% would usually die a few seconds later.

Oh, and yeah...those invisible torpedoes can follow you for quite a bit of distance. At least 15km. In the past, I would evasive maneuvers out of a cube's range. The regular torpedoes follow me fizzled out. A few seconds later, I instantly exploded.

I have MACO mk XI shields while I was in orbiting space.

My shields used to be a little over 10k. Now, it's 9k. I'm definitely sure it was 10k, because, when I equipped the Omega deflector, my shields would drop a little over 100 points, putting it in just under 10k. Now it's pretty much ~1k with the field generator nerf.

In sector space, it's just under 6k (where consoles and modifiers are not applied).

This is the parser that I use.

I was told last night that it is not entirely accurate. But if you test one build and then another the relative difference should be accurate. I first started posting on testing other builds about a week ago and I'm still trying some stuff out. I may end up posting a wall of text in a week or so.

Speaking of builds. I've running quantum torpedoes now, I'm gonna try Photon torpedoes tonight. What others would work well? Are there any that do not work with torpedo spread besides the Hargh'peng? Is anybody using the Hargh'pengs in STFs?

Why two Tac team 1's ? Dont they share the same cool down?

No they do not. If you have two Tac teams then you can have Tac Team going constantly sending shield power where it is needed most. As opposed to mashing distribute shield power every 2 seconds and wasting shield power to facings that aren't taking damage. The other teams DO share a cooldown. So if you're rolling Tac team you won't be able to use Engineering Team or Science team.
