Recommendations on upping DPS
So I have a a suite of 8 advanced Kelvin phasers. They’re all upgraded to mk xiv. I have upgraded my advanced fleet warp core, deflector and impulse. I also have three phaser consoles (all the same) all upgraded to mk xiv. Outside of installing a fourth phaser console (which I can and will) what other ways are there to bump DPS? I adjusted my power settings and that, coupled with the above line of weapons, I’ve noticed a big jump in my DPS (from around 200-300 to consistently in the 2000 range now. I feel like I’ve maybe hit the end of the road with this build but I don’t know. I can say, I only have one of the phasers epic, the rest are UR. One of my consoles is also epic.

And yeah, the fleet kurak (or just the kurak t6) its one of the best kdf battlecruisers out there. Is one of my tops dpsers of my entire roster. And i didnt even try. But there are so many more. The Matha raptor is simply amazing, and its spinal cannons are probably the most useful lance ability ive ever seen in game so far. And it is probably my top dpser as well with the kurak.

But the thing is, if you know what you doing, every single ship you like can be a monster.

Speaking of "Monsters"
I finally finished my DHC sets for my cute little baby monster..
Which used to use my AP Dual Beam set..

Which i've also discovered lately the sheer uberness of what the bridge officer skill Kemocite-Laced can/does do for DHC.. Wow, just omfg WoW as if they couldn't already rip most targets in half in one pass.. Next time I drive my Krenim Imperium Warship, i'm gonna try the DHC build on it..

The raider is a cute little ship, but the bridge does suck, and the "terminals" on the bridge made me flinch slightly when i walked near one as the ball popped up with a sound ...

the Herald Dread carrier though, now that is a fugly ship.. I pulled one and debated for months if wanted to open and get the Ship trait or not.. Not a fan of carrier types though.. Ended up selling it for 140mil EC.. Which funded my R&D grinds to L15 since I bought stacks of Materials, which I now use to make weapons. gear, and items for myself and profit.. Who knew that an Epic Mk XIV Countermeasure System console could sell for 30mil.. Which they are MUCH cheaper to upgrade to Mk XIV then a Ship's weapon or shield XP wise..

Yup.. i'm in the process of crafting some of those..

I am planning to buy another T6 from the Lobi store, just conflicted which one to get..

I've been wanting the Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier since it was added to the Lobi store, and the Ship trait looks like a very useful one, as well as the console (only for Jem ships sadly), and it can use DBBs or dual cannons but not sure if can use DHCs or not.. But it's at the top of the current list of ones i'll pick...

Then there is the Paradox Temporal Dreadnought, but it's a Sci ship lacking the Tac stations and console, its console and ship trait aren't really useful for my toon

But I pick a Sci ship i think i'd rather take the Na'kuhl Daemosh Science Vessel due it having a Battle cloak, but it only has a weapon loadout for 3/3

I haven't done PvP since... (not counting the 5vs5 queues) ... Well long long ago and the entire space was about the size of just 3 grids and K-7 was in the neural zone and was the only place Fed players could interact with Klink players, and players were trapped in some mission they had to do before they could leave the station...

But they must have made changes to how the Battle Cloak works or something.. Because I recall I used to fly my Ning'tao in PvP and used to drop mines right on Fed ships without it de-cloaking me.. and I used that ship because matching was 1st done based on tier of the ship, which was then changed to the level of the player because high level players would get into low tier owns and seal club (like i was doing)... But I could be confusing the PvP fights that I was dropping mines while still cloaked with the B'rel Bird-of-Prey Retrofit which i've also had back then... But I still do have my Ning'tao and its quad cannon, the B'rel Bird-of-Prey Retrofit, and even the really crappy T1 B'rel Bird-of-Prey...

I should rename it the ISD Nostalgia

There's also science vanguard if OP wants a science ship. At the moment the only one is the Crossfield though.
