Looking for a build

[Moyo]

I recently just got the kelvin timeline dreadnought and am looking for a good build to go with it.

And how would the Ferenginar Plasma Beams go with it?

[Maj_Cyric]

Here's mine,, (A wonderful choice and ship btw, mine rips through things with such ease)

I use 5 Sensor-Linked Phasers (1 is a Dual Beam), 2 Integrity-Linked Phaser, and 1 Kinetic Cutting beam..

Personal Ship traits are also important.. I use

A Good day to die
Last Ditch Effort
Context is for Kings
Duelist's Fervor
Beam Barrage
Superior Beam Training
Point Blank Shot
Fluidic Cocoon
Inspirational Leader
Into the Breach

Most of them can be found on the exchange..
I got mine from Infinity Prize Pack: Personal Trait (Space) boxes

The Vengeance class can run both effectively, beam banks and cannons / turrets. Cannons are slightly better for dps.

I would advise against using plasma. Currently that weapon energy type is lacking good set support and the plasma energy torpedo from the lobi store is rather lackluster.

The top 3 energy types are phaser, disruptor and polaron. Sensor-linked weapons come from lock boxes and can be found on the exchange in phaser and disruptor varieties. Combine a set of those with the corresponding energy weapon from the Terran Taskforce Reputation and you get a nice setup geared for dps.

Polaron is good for a budget setup, as everything - including the energy torpedo set - can be easily gotten from mission rewards.

There is a youtuber called Timber Wolf who regularly uploads all kinds of build videos:

Thank you guys!

How do you get some of these items like the deflectors and shields? I’m still pretty new to the game.

[Maj_Cyric]

Reputation, Fleet, Crafted (ie player made or exchange) and some other lower end from missions..

[Moyo]

What bridge officers would you recommend?

[Maj_Cyric]

I have 4 Krenim now (added a 2nd Tactical), 2 K13, 1 Special Borg (my 1st officer), and a K-13 Android (I don't really use Andrea though)..

Krenim Boffs give you a Recharge Speed to Boff skill Abilities

K13 Boff have bonus in the field they are in.. and Human K13 boffs also get a space trait called Leadership that will boost Hull Repair and Subsystem repair skill..

I use Intel and Strat as my Primary and Secondary skills (swapping out Strat for Commando ahead of any ground based missions)

Can you give me a list of the consoles you are using? As well as the shields and warp and impulse? Thanks

[Moyo]

And deflector haha
