Yeah, once you have a couple of copies going you're going to hit the global cooldown for that type anyway, so the ranks don't really matter much.

I have 7500 cryptic bucks saved up from not playing for almost a year and a half, what are good ships or should I just convert it all into a fearsome stash of dil

I see there are T6 Scimitars now.

Also is there any opinion on what is good to use in the new skill system

All my stuff is reset and I don't know what I'm doing

The krenim imperium warship is really fun because it is the only ship available to feds with a 5/3 weapon layout with 5 tac consoles and intel seating for that delicious double override subsystem safeties with all the traditional beam skills. The second biggest mistake I made in this game was not making my main a Romulan for scimitar superiority.

The Scimitar is for DPS Spergs. If you're some kind of DPS Sperg, go Romulan tac, otherwise, do what you feel.

And how many mixed weapon types do you have on that imperium warship, or are you finally not mixing beams and cannons?

Well, since you asked, here's the fit. Seems to be working pretty good. I swap feedback pulse for gravity well depending on the mission.

I'm surprised even after they've added what, like fifteen new episodes since DR came out they didn't just shuffle around the mission level requirements so you could gracefully level to 60 without grinding.

Why the gently caress are you running omni beams and beam arrays? Put arrays in the back, and broadside, or get some Dual Beam Banks.

I mean, credit where it's due, you've got something a poo poo load better than you did before. But it still needs work.

Here's my build. Good luck copying it with all the rare poo poo in there :toot:



It destroys everything :black101:

Also I took this screenshot when I was still levelling the latest jackpot ship. (thanks zen from dilithium Key Fourteen)
Normally this runs off the T6 Alita which is basically Boss Torpedo Boat for Federation. The only difference is less eng consoles and more tac.

In fact, good luck even figuring out what all those icons even mean :v:

Filler. That build normally doesn't go on that ship and I was lazy.

On the Alita you toss on two more tac consoles and the torpedo defence console for a free 50k instant damage (minimum) on everything in range every couple minutes.

Sol Defense was a pretty good leveling set, back when you could do the mission at level 10+, and get mark IV, free-upgrading variants of the pieces.
