Which reputation tree should i start with for a tactical cruiser captain?

1.Hi guys, I went through all the space sets for all the reputations and i am lost... Everyone keeps saying the borg space set is beast except the shield and iconian looks good for defence and DPS but even there i get conflicting information :S. I want a space set that can give me good shield regen, good hull points and resistance to shield drain. i am going for a beam boat so I am looking between phaser and antiproton.

2. Should i just focus on fleet gear even though my fleet is only tier 1?

P.S what gear should i buy from exchange to use until i finish my reputation grind?

For hull hitpoints/repair and drain resistance I'd go with Delta gear.

For consoles go with fleet stuff, allthough at T1 you won't have access to the most sought after.

the borg reputation IS NOT the best, since ages ago.

If you want a tanky ship (opposite for what a tactical user needs, by the way) you are not going to get the most dps output. But i suposse you already know that. You cant combine in this game tank/dps and other things and expect to max all of em. Its impossible.

also depends 90% of the energy build you are going to use. We cant recommendyou a reputation without knowing what weapons you going to use, and what energy type.

The borg reputation is famous because it got one of the best 2-piece set of the game. Thats all. This will provide you a decent hull regeneration boost. But more than that almost any other eputation items are as good as the borg ones. If you go for disruptors or phasers the omega rep is not really recommended, but the undine one is amazing for that energy type.

If your fleet is only tier 1, dont bother. It will take ages to your fleet to get the appropiate level to have access to spire consoles, for example.

Also, be aware once you have your ship with the style you want and everything more or less planned, you should re-check your skill tree and adecuate it to your build.

I am planning on going antiporton and using all beam banks with one or two duel beams at the front. Frankly i perfer DPS then tanking but i just feel like eveyrone is on the dps bandwagon :/ i am leaning to the iconians and the borg and work on them both?

Is the two piece set your talking about is the bog set?

if you are going AP then get the borg console and the kinetic cutting beam , it would also be handy to get the warp core and ancient omni beam that you get for free for playing the stars mission , cant remember the full name of the mission .

hi guys,

I want to switch to antiporton and as a arbiter i enough having a beam boat with constant damage and support my team. Looking at all the space sets I really like the delta one. Boosts shields and hull and reduces those debuffs. good shield points and being able to jump 5km is great when i am close to dying and the tantalus field is good when i got fighters and such around me. What do you guys think?

MACO shield + either Deflector or Engines to taste. Every damn time, unless you have a Plasmonic Leech. After that, Warp Core + whichever of Def or Eng you didn't take MACO, to taste. Iconian Engines + Warp Core is nice, as is Delta Deflector + Warp Core, IIRC.
