You can see from the vids that the ranges and times are very very close and I wasn't sure that I could pull that off consistently. As far as your survival I think I have this old fraps file somewhere.......

If any of your teamates are using the same energy type, then by the time you go to hit your target with Beam Overload III their resists are so high and the blast barely scratches the shields.
No points in Graviton, and it seems to be working ok so far. I kept TB3 for the extended duration also. Its come in very handy I must say.

As to the resists I've noticed them. I'm something of a buff watcher. Really I just wait for them to fall off. It can be annoying but once I see that someone has the shields, and furthermore that someone on my team is using AP, at least then I know what to do. I actually ran into a situation where a Karfi's pets were slowly plink plinking this guys resists up for him. I can't say that I've tried to blast through that mod yet, but if I do in the future I'll make note of it.


Cheers and happy flying!!

i most certainly have been insta gibed, but i also have reacted quickly enough not to be just as often. the push might be from gravaton gens, and the disable certainly from decompiler. if you have 0 grav gen, as in no borg console or deflector with grav, it might not do anything but stun really. TB1 lasts 10 seconds, you proboly don't need TB3, TSS3 might be very helpful though!

Can't lose my PH! Or hazards! Gotta have em!

I think maybe the real reason I kept TB3 is because even if all my tac abilites are on cooldown I can hold a big chubby cruiser down lilke it's prom nite for 17 seconds while I use my fireworks.

Cruiser captains dig that.

Don't you?

um...I meant "Don't they?" yah thats what i meant!!

Give me a few minutes.

You didn't fire your lasers and SRM's at the same time. Technically, it isn't an Alpha strike

There's a firing delay for SRMs. I smashed ''1'' which fired em all off.
