What end of the Valkis is the front? Or does it truly matter?

The pointy tip on the left in that screenshot is the rear. it has the lowest turn rate and slowest impulse modifier in the game.

awwwwwwwww man the lukari glow shields barely have any glow at all on the pilot escorts.

Do the impulse engines and deflector have decent trails or glow ? My T5 finishes tonight. Just have to remember to not hit cancel or close or whatever fucks up the rep claim. Between that and The Breach getting Trumped Cryptic is sure on a roll for breaking stuff recently :downs: .

Didn't pick up the deflector or impulse.

If you want a good strong glow from the impulse, though, you can't really go past the Breen Arc impulse engine reward



Or the Sol Defense mission reward for an orange version.

Just slot omega engines into your ship visuals for literal fire trails.

Omega: the set nobody really wanted even when it was new.

Sol defense is a more intense version of omega, plus you don't have to blow marks and dil on it.



thus making omega even more pointless to own

I still want a set with the vadawaar engine trails, those are the best.

Lockbox ships like that should come with a filler impulse engine with the special effect so you can put it on other ships visual slot.

Pedal to the Metal is the best of the spec traits assuming you're running beams and can effectively fly with the throttle maxed at all times. i tend to cut it these days but YMMV depending on what other traits you have access to. The intel one is also decent if you don't have enough other good traits.

Probably want a flupiter then. It's too heavy for a good use of DBB build, so go standard AP beam. Load up with grav well 3 and 1 to keep your enemies pinned, and get to earning the fleet marks for 2x elite frigates. Use the advanced frigates until then.

Rest of your gear is pretty standard. The full iconian space set, the usual universals, spam 2x FAW.

This is all really solid advice. Save your EC for the ship trait 'Scramble Fighters', too. It turns your launch fighter command into a group heal and attack buff, essentially making your frigates immortal murderbeasts. Very expensive right now, it's not in the infinity box because I think it's a R&D promo trait? Anyway watch the price on that on the exchange and if you can find an affordable version snap it up, it really makes carriers and frigates shine.

I wanna pick one up, but I don't feel like dicking around with inflated direct trade prices because inflation is so horrible that promo ships never even show up on the exchange to get undercut, and gently caress actually ever spending cash money on RNG box crap. :jerkbag:
