Broken,

Well mostly I don't run ASIF, cause I built my vorcha as an offense platform. Basically it's fire + that of decloaking raptors and bops is made to overwhelm a given target. The warp plas 3, is there to force premature hazard burning, or just as a straight up slow, and heavy DOT (since it's tac buffable still)

I'd move aux performance down a couple steps and raise Warp Core Efficiency since Efficiency does overall net you more gain when your power is < 75 on a slider. Other than that it looks pretty solid. Personally though I'm not really a fan of Tac Oddys, as I feel the ship is too slow to really hose people in dps.

ahh thank you mav. yes i agree tacts should not be in oddys. but with dem 3 and an alpha it kinda is sick. tho i know there are other tanks that are better for the job. ive never really bothered with anything other then an escourt. i just moved on to the oddy for my engy and even newer with sci in a carrier. i only ask you about these things because i am trying to learn every aspect of this game, the ins and outs really. i just like to know and try to understand. but thank you for your time mav. it actually is nice when pro players do respond. i remember a time in sto people kept this to themselves.

also 1 more thing i wanted to ask, you did not spec into subsystem rep. why? with all of the phaser procs going dont you want to bring that system back faster? on my escourt i was not speced into it. i could get disabled for what seemed like 5 hours. most im thinking was 7-10 secs. now my system comes back in about 2 secs. also i was told my red matter would get my systems back but it did not. after i speced that skill,(6 points) 2 secs and if longer because alot of my crew is dead my red matter actually works to get my systems back.

SO did I miss the BortasQu evaulation?

I meant to get around to it I really did!

Its just... so fat. :p

I promise my next post or two for ship builds will be the bortas.

Wouldn't mind a D'Kora build either...

Oh it is hippy and it does waddle.....still its not too bad, but it really is only good for support, imo.

Post Reserved For Klink Fat Arse #1 Bortas.

I hope that Cryptic look at the other ships of the Cruiser classes and start to work towards viable options other than the Oddy and Bort. There just isn't much else to go with, imho.

Great post Mav. Its hard not to miss the "Mavarite-Cruisers" that abound. Tough as nails.

On the post above ... sorry to ask; you were talking strictly ... in game terms right?

Yeah

though I hear premature hazard burning is a common problem in many a pvper

I just want to take a moment, to thank the people that have read this thread and have either quietly added to their own builds, and or have posted their own contributions to this thread.

I also want to thank those, that have sent me PMs either here or in game, asking for further help or simply thanking me for making this thread. This sort of thing encourages me to keep going with this thread, and my other help desk type threads.


Threads like this don't happen without the above two things, and I think this thread has come to symbolize alot of what I love about this community. The amount of contributions to this thread have been tremendous, both in terms of build suggestions, skill point allotments, questions of my stuff, as well as the various pms and thank you posts.

So, thanks again everyone that has kept reading this thread and kept things going. I couldn't have done it without you guys.
