NOW OPEN - OFFICE OF THE SHIPWRIGHT

I know you all need more work... I've submitted a request for my T6 MVAM.

Thanks for the help in advance,
D.

Hello.

I have submitted a build request on my T6 Arbiter Battlecruiser.

I will also be needing to reset my skills. I have a respec token but have not used it yet. I would like some assistance determining what is best to put the points into.

I also created a rough skill point draft based on what I know so far.

Thanks.

just submited, is mostly the skills respec i need atm.

I want to send a big thanks to Gravity. He took a look at my ship build and helped me fix my crazy rainbow spaz ship. It really sucked having the T6 Arbiter and still getting my ass kicked repeatedly.
Setting me up with knowledge and gifting me proper weapons helped so much.
He also fixed my crazy flat maxed at Commander skills.

Big hugs!!
:laugh:

Dear Mr. Shipwright,

I did manage to take my Fleet Arbiter to over 40K dps since I joined the game this summer, and with the upgrade weekend coming up over the New Year weekend, I'm planning to continue with some serious upgarding.

Here's my ship at the moment.

Handle: kuznetsov@reverendmike

My next upgrades would be the aft weapons to Epic, followed my the shield. Once done, I have some questions.

Firstly, perhaps for deflector, shields, engine and core you might have other suggestions? I've now opened up all the reputations, so can theoretically change my current set up for anything that might be better. Maybe I'd be better off going Iconian or getting Romulan Engines(I frequently have TT, ATB, FAW, ATA and Tactical Fleet running at the same time)? I'd really appreciate your advise before I invest in upgrading what I already have on NY weekend.

Secondly, if I do stick with what I have now, I've read somewhere that the Assimilated deflector adds a [Threat] generating mod at Epic, which I surely don't want! The STO Academy planner didn't show that, but showed SS/SI instead, which I do want. Will I get +17%ish threat generation if I go epic with it or not?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

MXAHNY!

Mike


PS
I'm sure I wouldn't survive very long without the Assimilated heal proc. If I change to other gear, it would have to help cover this gap in defense.

And just for info, my current play style is at full throttle with Improved Pedal, while turning a lot to target my DBBs using my decent turn rate (from fleet RCS, Advance Engine reputation trait and other stuff), or more rarely park at below 2km and shoot, like at the back of an enemy dreadnought, for instance.

My set up is Aux2Batt for Weapons power and BO cooldown, All Hands on Deck for Captain cooldown, and Plasmonic Leech for energy.

Thank you Mstfrancis! Didn't expect to see your suggestions so soon. Now I know what to do this upgrade weekend! Happy Holidays! :)

More than my pleasure!
Happy hunting out there!

I submitted my BOP,

I have no idea how to make a build without space magic and beams....

Ive done some work on this, not quite done yet though.

I think my Eclipse Intel Cruiser needs a lil help. I used to be at 4k dmg, now I'm about 9-10k dmg, but I feel it still needs review. It's tetryon based and very situational. I usually have to get in rear arc and fire off all the stuff I can. Think you're up to the challenge Mister Shipwright?

PS - Trying to build up my template on STO Academy, but after I registered, it started hating me, lol.

PSS - Yay! My current build Note that there is a Polymorphic Probe Array in the last Engineering slot, the builder didn't have it in the options.

Hello Aio! I have a few recommendations based on what you have filled out here, however it would help if you filled out this form in its entirety to let us know more about you have your skills set up and your other needs.

I need to submit one of these.... my poor ship needs some work i think B)

Hey,

I'm requesting an update as I have different ship classes in my lineup and from my inventory and avatar bank... I took the time to record all of the items in my inventory and avatar bank as well as the ships in my lineup and what's on them right now. but mainly I just swap loadouts from one ship to another; depending on my moods or if I want to enjoy piloting a certain ship...brought on by a certain episode or ST movie.

I posted it on YouTube as It would take too long to do it on the build page...
As for the video you will need the link to see it as it's hidden on YouTube.

My Inventory and ship loadout

It doesn't have to be done all at once; I'm just hoping to find the ideal build that can be applied to my avatars that are Half Tactical and half Enginering. This way I would know what to do for my other avatars and their ship builds. something like an Ideal build for Intrepid class, Defiant class as half the time I just skip over things like Escort and prefer going by ship class...and it's easier for me to remember said ship by class name and not what STO calls it Thanks for the help and assistance.

Oh...I forgot I had Spotify on when I was doing the video and the music was captured in the video

Hey there,

that's really a lot of ships and gear you have but in order for us to be really effective in providing you a good build we need to focus on one thing.

Can you please not specifically define what kind of playstyle you are hoping to have out of this build. It is possible for the same ship to be flown in more than one way and without some more specific guidance it wouldn't be possible for us to know what specifically you hope to get out of the shipbuild.

Please fill out the form for the captain/ship you want, because we are not equipped to provide a build for every ship in you roster and captain combinations.

...it does not have to be every ship at this very moment...Focus on one of the Command Battle cruisers and next time, I'll figure out the loadouts myself

see that's an issue. a set for for a command battle cruise can't be translated even on a basic level to another ship. For one it's BOFF setup would not fit with an Intrepid's or pilot ship's setup. Skill allocations, traits and other factor would require a ship by ship and character by character approach. A few of the old livestreams give general ideas on how to set up ships on an extremely general and basic level.

please fill out this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11RHAvRYRJU1F4MuoyIQCXV-m50tOmtzQ4KyfYG12aio/viewform

and we'll make our recommendations.

Also in my personal opinion a tactical captain should stick with escorts. or if you want to fly a cruiser the only one I would recommend for a Tac captain is the Eclipse Intel escort.

Yeah I have to agree with aikune it is incredibly difficult to give a ship build without some sort of vision of how you want to play the character.

You have a wide variety of ships and in many cases they can each be setup in more than one way.

An example would be your pilot escort, I have seen them built for aoe damage using dual beam banks or dual heavy cannons coupled with a gravity well. Or you could spec for single target damage using a single dual beam bank and cannons. These subtle differences in boff/doff layout and equipment massively change how a ship works.

So I hope you can understand how without some specific idea of the type of gameplay you are looking for it is difficult for us to come up with a build.

*edit* If you left us know how you want to fly/what you want to achieve with this character we can select the ship for you from what you showed and decide on the best build for it.

"It would take too long to do it on the build page..."

you do realize this is what you're asking aikune, et al, to do for you? Why should someone put together a build on stoacademy.com for you if you aren't willing to do it when asking for help?

Stoacademy's build thing is more helpful than that video.

Here's a livestream I did a while back overviewing the command ships



I'll get to the pilot ships eventually I got called away on business when I scheduled it last.
