    Generally speaking the kit balance is so out of whack that you usually don't get many.

    Science is pretty much either Medic (mega-tanking) or Theoretical Physicist (space magic). Tactical is the one with more variety, but the best selection is Operative (dropkick ninja and king of spike DPS), Fire Team (guns), Grenadier (self-explanatory, worked with the cooldown reduction bonuses), and Squad Leader (team buff + guns).

    Besides Space Jihad (Enemy Neutralization), Engineers have Bunker Fabrication (turret spam). Issue is really just that Space Jihad is SO DAMN GOOD it's madness not to take it.

    Why Space Jihad is so good:

    Kinetic damage goes through shields. Space Jihad deals immense amounts of Kinetic damage all over the place. Also it can prevent nasty bastards from using guns.

    BTW if you install Arc you don't actually need to use it. At least with Neverwinter, I just skipped Arc client and directly open the game launcher, which can update itself.

    Another question. Do you guys equip your away team with all Expose weapons or some mixture? I used to do half and half but most advice I'm reading right now says just to have them all Expose.


    Edit: :rage: was about set to roll Klingon, but then I found out their Support Vessels are C-store only. And I really want to run around in a Science Vessel. I guess I have to go Fed.

    Do you really wish one of your scrubs to ruin a thermonuclear Kirk Dropkick by shooting their peashooter?

    Nope. You're a Romulan, right? Romulans get bigger benefits from the Engineer's ability to increase power levels, due to how strapped for power they are otherwise.

    Well, it says "unknown user" when trying to add @qaulthir. Were you case-specific with your in-game username?

    Yes, there is also a pack with the Galaxy ships next month but ... I would not exactly advise buying it for 2 reasons.

    First reason is that the Galaxy ships are the worst ships in the game since they are Engineering heavy ships on a game that doesnt allow tanks to tank without a huge investment on build and few content actually requires tanks.

    Second reason is that you buying 2 end game ships and a captain level ship, you just get a console set that makes you a better tank ... or would if there arent those Fleet Mine consoles that are just better and a costume, its not comparable with the 3-packs even if its 1000 zen cheaper but still, take the T'varo were its 2500 zen for both T'varo ships were the most expensive is the D'deridex thats still just 3500 zen for a console 2set.

    Now the advantage of buying the set are if you want the antimatter spread console and want either the Galaxy-R or the Galaxy-X, the Galaxy-X is buffed because they added separation mode (2 years later), slapped a Hangar on it (apparently this is Cryptic's new bandaid to ships), made the Ensign Tactical a Ensign Universal and in separation mode the Phaser Lance because a Phaser shotgun (45º cone), of course problem is you have to own the Galaxy-R for it and honestly, since saucers will use the Antimatter spread console (even the M/VAE that I didnt know) there is at least some reason to buy it since if you buy the Venture and the Galaxy-X you end up paying 4000 zen anyway, 4500 zen if you buy the R and the X so at least you get a discount and a free captain level ship if you buy this pack.

    I can't believe I'm actually wasting my first post on this, but...
    After spending decades *cough* lurking the codex and declining about 10 fleet invites per hour, I have decided that you guys are the only ones worthy of my presence!

    Pretty please?

    1. Does the Engi Console - EPS Flow Regulator help the recovery rate of a drained energy subsystem (e.g. Weapons) as well as the transfer rate between subsystems?

    2. I'm interested in making a Klingon toon running a beamboat/carrier. Do I go Tactical or Engineer?

    3. I had a third question ... hang on ... what was it ... oh fucking Alzheimers

    It does this, but in a bizarre, roundabout way that requires a deep understanding of weapon energy systems to truly grasp. Short version: You need this for beams, you don't need this for cannons.

    Tac is the Default Class. If you ever are uncertain what class you want, this is your answer: Every other class requires that you have a very specific reason.
