Infinity Prize Pack: Cross-Faction or Salvaged Console

I have 4 of those... And I'm not sure what to pick.
Surely, before the nerf, the obvious choice was to pick Plasmonic leech. Both to sell and for alts. But now... I'm just not sure what to pick. Any help please?

That's exactly the problem. I checked all the consoles and most of them are... Meh?

Fed sci captain(more tactical-ish build) on a Pilot Tactical Escort. Anti-proton Cannons OR Beam banks + borg set + 2x RCS Accelerators(craft/fleet) + Tachyokinetic converter + Bioneural Infusion Circuits + Polymorphic Probe Array + 5x Fleet tac consoles(CritC+AP)

Something that would work on tactical oriented ships, aimed more towards raw damage with weapons, rather than exotic "space magics" of science ships. And the tanks/healers are not really needed in STO(sadly), so, nothing that fits that role either. However, maybe in the future, I might switch to an exotic-damage build, so something that is pretty useful for that too(even tho I think those are always like playing a piano...).

Also, i think those are character bound once you buy em. You cant seel em in the exchange.

Well, the console packs(those with / in them) are not bound, only the consoles themselves after you open them up.

First , why you using RCS Accelerators (even if they are crafted) ¿??? if you are flying a pilot escort?. With that exception, everything else talking about consoles seems to be ok. You really should not be worried about having another extra console. BUT, you could, as i said, replace those Rcs accelerators that you dont need.

Cuz i like spinning like crazy!!! XD But now that you say it, yeah... It's better to use something else...

Second, you right and most of those consoles are either gimmicks or just only real useful when they are part of a set (a lot of em), and even if plasmonic leech was nerfed lol, it is still far better than most consoles in there. Honestly for an antiproton build i dont think there is one single console in there that will give you anything valuable. 90% are gimmicks and they only provide a real noticeable boost or any other ability when slotted as a set. The only consoles i would recommend for an antiproton build that you already have are the takyokinetic converter, the plasmonic leech and the polymorphic probe array. So..

But if still you need to use the tokens, the aceton assimilator is a nice device and very useful, or the point defense thingys. Everything else, most of the stuff is , as i said, probably only useful when used with a set.

So which ones are useful with sets? I actually have some partially complete sets there, for example the Kelvin Timeline one... Obviously unfinished, missing the mining drill and proton charge launcher.
And yeah, I just have 4 of the boxes... Can't have em just "stay there" forever :P Need to use em somehow. For myself OR to sell.

You could also get your hands on the crystalline torpedo or the crystalline absorption matrix from events that complements an antiproton build very nicely.

Got the torpedo too, using that with beam banks(4beam banks + crystaline torp + 2xOmni antiprotons). Just decided to test a full cannon+turret build recently, without torps.

Last I checked the kelvin set with the mining laser is aimed at phaser and photon torp users (ie feds) more than the other factions or weapon types.

Yep, it is, sadly.

Soooo... Still have the packs and no idea what to pick.

The infinity lockboxes dont do the prize tokens, thats the phoenix boxes.

While I know the infinity boxes do add the new ships into the old boxes I don't know if the choice packs that come from them update as well.
