Ty sir. Got my recon build worked out in my head then :-)
Hopefully it works out in action as well. Been in mvam to grind out my stf gear set, but now I am realizing that I don't need any omega for the build I have in mind.
First off, thanks for the builds Matteo. The other thread where I first asked for your recon build got kind of off track, so I figured I'd thank ya here. Once I get my sci respecd, I'd love to take you up on your offer to fine tune it :-)
Couple of questions:
Do chroniton mines and torps share a cd?
As far as the best ship in a premade goes, would you go recon or intrepid?
no problem man play with your build before respecing. it saves money.
i look forward to helping ya.
also, id personally go nebula. but that depends really on how many sci/sci's are on the team. more then likely though for competitive play itd be the intrepid for sheer sci slots.
the dps recon doesnt actually spec too much into torps. its all about energy with the recon. in only have a photon torp on it for the shockwave torp.
Hm, might have to try it with 2x Cannon + DBB and 3x Turrets. Maybe swap out the HYT for a BO.
Other than proc rate/Tet Glider, I still feel like 6 beams with FAW will do better for DPS though? Especially considering the Cannon damage/range drop off mechanic. Though, if the 30% Beam DPS reduction is as bad as Hilbert says it is, this may not be true.

taking bo and rapid fire i found hurts the sustained dps but increased the burst. i played my recon for sustained energy and burst kentic. although i suppose taking a beta 1 +tac team + bo1 might negate the rapid fire.
ive neve liked circling a target in a recon. its too escorty to be flown like a cruiser. maybe 6 beams in a dssv or none torp vulcan ship might be something to look into. 90% of the damage i do in games now is from kenetic damage or warp plasma. im tempted to run plasma beams to see if that helps more then tetryons though. why take out the shields when you can bypass them completely.
