Build Advice - Need Help Please

Post by Strykar »

Howdy all,

I've been pretty indecisive lately with my builds as I was finding it pretty tough going using an escort in the Delta Quadrant. Keeping still in PvP or against the Vaadwaur isn't a good idea. I decided to use the Eclipse Cruiser because its easier to survive in but I could change to another Delta ship from the pack I bought. I would greatly appreciate any advice to improve my DPS. Also I was going to change to Antiproton - which was my preferred choice in an escort.

Firstly the character I need help with is a Tactical officer.

Eclipse Intel Cruiser
Fore - 3x Phaser Beam XII + 1x Photon Torp XII
Aft - 3x Phaser Beam XII + 1x Photon Torp XII
Solanae Impulse Engines, Deflector and Shield XII (for survivability)
Oblisk Warp Core
I tend to use shield or damage resistant consoles from Rep drops & tactical consoles that increases current weapon damage (ie Phaser).

I tend to use lots of shield or hull heals (+ hazard emitters) and either beam weapon or torp buffs in combat. I'm not very impressed with the new Intel boff skills, but maybe I'm using them wrong.

If anyone can give me some advice to improve my damage in combat I'd be hugely appreciative. Consider I have enough fleet credits & dilithium atm to buy some new fleet weapons & torps.

Thanks for reading.
Peace be the journey.

Check out the PVE workshop, there's bound to be something in there that fits your requirements.

If you do some PvP, there's a whole subforum dedicated to builds here: http://forums.12th-fleet.com/viewforum.php?f=157

Post your build there and you'll get the help to have an excellent PvP build.
