I'm finally getting around to making builds for all the different weapon types. Half just to knock out endeavors quicker, but also because, well, I've got all these ships and why not. I'm not really investing much in these, just whatever weapons and sets I can get from missions plus cheap crap off the exchange or stuff that's under 30k dill in rep gear. For example, I'm not bothering getting spire consoles, just making due with XII green tac consoles. So. . . what the gently caress's up with tetryon? I've been able to google around and find out what oddball rep or mission gear has good set bonuses or just solid bonuses period for the other damage types, but I swear there's gently caress all out there for tetryon. Like. . . . one lobi set I've found. Is it just the orphan damage type?

I asked a few pages back about the name of a space ability I'd seen other players using (Refracting Tetryon Cascade), then tried to design a space wizard build around it, but tetryon's just got nothing.

I remember when Tetryon used to be the meta because the shield damage proc was a percentage instead of a flat value. Still sad they changed that. Personally I really enjoy Polaron with my DrainX/EPG DeW+space wizardry build. There's a ton of items and sets that give both and there's some really cool Polaron weapons like the Vaadwaur ones. The beam weapons shoot "bolts" despite their weapon type, very unique.

  here's what I'm using right now, it's nothing amazing but it can pull off 100k DPS if I'm on top of things. definitely helps to have a keybind to mash all the buffs otherwise it's annoying to keep them all going. my favorite thing is definitely letting off charged particle burst III into huge groups of enemies (chidyat swarmers in particular). I've seen it bring a GTX1080 to it's knees with all the charged particle reaction procs going off simultaneously. surprisingly my ryzen 1800X deals with it fairly well, only drops down to 40-50fps when I do that.

Apparently they didn't even understand their own system well enough to know it wouldn't work before a certain date, as there was no such mention in that blog.

So why did Cryptic in their infinite wisdom limit the number of active gravimetric scientist DOFFs to only ONE?! Pretty much every other DOFF spec can be stacked, often up to 3 of one type.  also testing out this CPB radiation proc DOFF and something really fucky is going on. not only does the DOFF description damage not even come close to the actual tooltip damage:  as if that wasn't bad enough, somehow despite claiming to be a 20% chance it only managed to proc 8 times the entire battle, despite CPB3 dealing nearly 2m damage and hitting pretty much every Chid'yat swarmer in the entire Home mission. There's a LOT of swarmers.  It's almost as if what's actually happening is there's a 20% chance every time you use CPB for it to deal damage to a single enemy caught in the AoE or something along those lines. which is so completely loving terrible and useless I am sorely tempted to throw this slacker out of the nearest airlock just for wasting my time. plus his quote? "Weapons can sometimes be found in the most unusual places." Newsflash buddy, people have been hiding weapons in their rectums from day 1. just because you bludgeoned a guy to death with your dragon dildo doesn't make you some sort of philosophical genius. unbelievable the ego on some of these underlings.

I reinstall this every couple of years when I run out of good games to play, and apparently I'm still running around in something called a "Patrol Escort" that I've had since level 40 or so. What are my options for ship upgrading given that I am both space-poor and unwilling to spend real money? I've got around 5 mil EC and 300k dil.

In a couple weeks there will be a free T6 ship for the Summer Event. If you can save up the EC, you can get a Hirogen Hunter vessel off the exchange, i think that's the only ship left with the free upgrade to T5U that's still readily available. Otherwise, grind up 5 reputations for the fleet ship tokens and buy a T6 fleet ship.

Pretty much every other DOFF spec can be stacked, often up to 3 of one type. Just be glad the Doff works at all. After Photonic Officer got buffed out the rear end, they never changed the passive on the relevant Duty Officers, which were supposed to lower the skill’s cool down. Since PO is now permanently at global cool down, the doffs do nothing.

The problem is the list of trash loot in the Infinity box is almost infinitely long, on the other hand if you actually manage to win the ship you'd definitely rather have the infinity choice pack. The only way to win is not to play, but if you need the lobi you might as well go infinity and hope you don't get too many kit frames or whatever

Most of the others are good for one build or another, but some are really annoying to get marks for outside of the choice boxes you get from TFOs or Patrols.
