I have no idea how that carrier works, turn rate is 7 thats "OK" but 3/3 weapon simply makes it poor and its very Sci heavy that doesnt help since it have no real Eng ability being stuck with ... NO Eng stations, you either use your Lt Universal or your Lt Hybrid for it.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I'm going to be a little unorthodox with the thingie and kit it with only one Aux2Bat (experience has taught me that A2B is pretty good on science as well, since it lets you either reduce the boff weight needed, or diversify; all you need to worry about is timing), and complement of full smorgasbord of all sorts of goodies besides (such as Photonic Officer II). 3/3 is standard for pure Carriers and Sciboats, but the Breen Carrier has 4 Tac consoles which is p. sweet and its boff layout is still better than its closest competitor Kar'fi.

But yea, generally speaking you only need Cmdr Sci, anything besides is ultimately excess. The ideal pure Carrier would have Cmdr Sci, LtC Eng, LtC Tac, Lt Eng, and a Universal something something.

My current plan in terms of abilities:

Tac Team (partially doffed), Attack Pattern Beta I, Fire At Will III
Polarize Hull I, Hazard Emitters II
Science Team I/Transfer Shield Strength I/, Tractor Beam Repulsors I, Photonic Officer II, Gravity Well III
EptSI, Aux2Bat
EptWI, RSP

Twin hangar cooldown doffs, broadside of Antiprotons (it's a kitty, I don't have to give a fuck), and the standard set of gear.

 

[Drakron]

You should go OSS with it, I hear good things about it ... never tried since I am lazy and I like the extra tanking on the only ship I have with Int seating.

And since my calculations were turned wrong due to Rivera XP Table faggoty I ended up 1 level short, amazing how the XP you get in Delta Missions is about for TWO WHOLE LEVELS!

 

[Davidshky]

Yeah I'm considering something like OSS1 + A2B1 in the engi/intel station and EPtX1 + A2B1 in the universal station for those characters that are already running A2B builds.

Otherwise I think deflector doffs would be a good idea and maybe a conn officer to reduce the CD of TT1 so you can cycle TT, FAW and APB by using the uni station as a tac station.

 

[Bliblablubb]

OSS is a must whenever you can squeeze it in. How did I manage to go without it? Watching my weapon energy jump to 150 always brings a tear into my eye. Only a manly one of course.
The carrier seems to be a not-so-bad choice for my klang stepchild, but I guess I will grind for the old cruiser anyway. Never flown a pure carrier before, maybe it turn out to be..... fun. Don't tell Norfleet.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Hmmm, OSS1 is probably very superior to EptW1.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Don't tell Norfleet.

Wise words to live by.

Also: I got back to STO after an extended break(tm) aaaand I decided to ditch my feddie in favour of a KKKlingon. Been a blast thus far. I like how they continue developing this game the most though; so many new things to do.

 

[Bliblablubb]

I hope you are only talking in terms of "the extended tutorial until lvl50 is moah fun as a Klang", because Fed is and will always be the XBone of STO: stuff will be made for them, then poorly ported to Romulards and Klangs.
2 T6 boats each for Rom/Klang, but the 6th now for Feds. And you can bet your shitposting rights that the next T6 will be Fed again, most likely a Defiant rererererefit.
There is still no proper Sciboat for anyone except Feds...

But you are just in time for the Winter Event. Happy Grindmas!

Norfleet, could I borrow a few hundred million EC?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Fuck me, that's sexy.

 

[SuicideBunny]

man, i'll never have anywhere near enough to buy that...

 

[eklektyk]

and that trait for t6 is seeeeeeexy ....man now im sad i wont get that ... oh well back to grinding for xmas carrier

 

[Davidshky]

I will probably be able to afford it in the somewhat near future but the price will probably be the lowest around the release and right now I only have around 170-180 mil EC and the winter event has kinda reduced my income.

I guess I could try grinding elite queues since the R&D materials you get are pretty valuable. Bug hunt elite and undine infiltration elite are even pretty easy but I'm not sure if you'll really earn that much from those.

 

[Bliblablubb]

No selfrespecting Romulard would fly a mushroom basestar!
And where would the other factions even get one from? They only met them shortly in the very last DR mission. Meh whatever, the spice must flow.

Edit: Right, basestar, not battlestar.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

The mushroom basestar could work on less prominent races, most notably the überkattzen, Nausicaans or Gorn.

 

[Davidshky]

Or in my case, my human character that already has the Monbosh and the S'golth and need this to complete the set.

Plz lend EC.

 

[Norfleet]

Norfleet, could I borrow a few hundred million EC?

I visited Eggy Friend recently, so I'm broke again. I don't tend to hold much EC these days because it moves quickly.

 

[SuicideBunny]

the only thing working on nausicaans is a head-sized paper bag.

 

[Norfleet]

Nah, Nausicaans have the whole ugly-chic thing going.

Best. Patch. Ever.

"Apples! Cute and cuddly apples! Arrrrrrn't apples adorable? Don't you want a little apple friend?"

I pity those having to endure that nails-on-a-chalkboard voice all day, since she is obviously just an craptic employee instead of a pro VA.

They replaced last year's chef with Neelix. Was it an improvement? I think not.

 

[Davidshky]

Now all they really have to do is move the pie-eating competition somewhere like Gre'thor or anywhere where I won't hear the OM NOM NOM NOM!
