Assimilated Deflector

[evo4ever]

Hello all.

Is it any good? I hope I havent made a mistake cos ive already invested into it lol. I love the Borg and ive already got the console and cutting beam.

The reason why im asking is because i always question my decisions just incase I make the wrong choice.

Atm I've got a mixture of Solanae, Jem'Hadar, and Borg tech installed on my ship.

Thanks.

I'm a KDF tank engineer. Heres my set up:

Weapons:

Fore: 4x AP Beam Arrays XIII
AFT: 1x Vaadwaur cluster, 1x Ancient omni, 1x AP omni, 1x KCB

Deflector: Polarized Parabolic breen XII (replacing with assimilated)
Impulse: Jem'Hadar combat XII (replace with assimilated?)
Warp: Obelisk Subspace Rift
Shields: Solanae Resilient XII (replace?)

Engineering: 1x Assimilated, 1x Zero Point energy conduit, 2x Neutronium Alloy XIII
Science: 1x Field Generator XIII, 1x Shield Refrequencer XII
Tactical: 3x AP mags XIII (replace with vulnerabilty locator but not anytime soon)

Im trying to extract as much DPS as well. I'm also getting the vandal in a few days to acquire the plasmonic leech. I've set my skill points up to accomidate for it (max flow caps) i wanna do serious drainage along with high DPS.

What do u think?

Thanks dude. When I get the leech what should I replace? one of the neutronium alloys? The assimilated deflector has just been fitted so ill stick with that.

If you use the assimilated def, you want to get a second piece of the set for the 2 piece bonus (lots of hull healing). If you want to get tanky, go with assimilated deflector and engine + dyson shield, if you want some more offense, use assimilated def + shield and romulan engine (attack pattern bonus).

Also your weapon choice is not optimal. You either should use dual beams in the front + omni beams in the back or normal beams in front and back (only the KCB is used in both cases, mainly for the two piece set bonus with the borg console). Considering you use a ship with a 4/4 weapon layout, i would recommend 7 AP beam arrays + KCB.

If you get the plasmo leech console replace one of your neutronium alloys. One is more than enough. You should also consider replacing your two science consoles with science consoles from your fleet embassy and since you want to tank, get the ones with the +threat mod.

[evo4ever]

I'll do just that. Thanks for the help!

Edit: Is it possible to have 4x omni's at the back and then ditch the cluster torp, and keep 4x arrays at the front would that work well? It's not recommended that I use dual beam banks cos my ship has a bad turn rate. I have to broadside.

Depends on what cruiser he has. If it is a slow cruiser, going to DBBs in the front will make him struggle a lot against some enemies. The build he has right now is just perfect. Maybe i would replace the badwaur cluster torp with another ap beam and thats it.

He should replace all neutronium alloys. In the end, the only consoles that he should have slotted are the tac ones and universal ones. You dont need in this game extra protection in hull or shields, you have enough healing skills to suply that.

That is why i recommened 7 normal beams + KCB rather than DBBs. You also never should use omni beams in a build with normal beams in the front. Normal beams have a higher DPS than omni beams. You only use omni beams in combination with DBBs because of their 360 degree firing arc which allows them for fire all at the same time.

Generally speaking, ships with a 4/4 weapon layout should use 7 normal beams + KCB. Ships with a 5/2 or 5/3 layout work best with a DBB + omni build. On ships with a 4/3 or 3/3 layout you can use either build depending on your preferance and ship turn rate.

And while you normally don't need extra protection, one resistance console is currently not a bad idea with the insanely high shield drains in the borg STF's at the moment.

I have the horrible negh'var the turn rate is painful. I'll be getting the mogh soon ive been told thats a good ship.

I agree with ditching the neutronium and hull/shield protections cons. I've been eyeing up the bioneulral gel pack (delta rep i think?) and bioneulral circuitry (lobi store; for extra crit).

Why would u ditch omni's for normals when they're always firing (360). I've just compared the DPS between my normals and omnis and the difference is negligable.

Nice choice. The mogh is a beast, trust me, and the turn rate is enough to be able to place DBBs and even dhcs. In fact, the Mogh, for reason i never understood is a beast using dhcs. And more than that, the asthetics of the ship are great, it is a ship that doesnt look bad after all this time.

Nice one nemesis! It's a good job I have 4x AP DBBs XIIs and 4x AP DHCs XIIs in my bank from my previous build :) Its 5/3 isnt it? wot would u recommend weapons wise?

Fore: 5x AP DHCs
AFT: 2x AP Omnis, 1x KCB

No.

You can only have 1 omni beam + cuttin beam, or 2 omni beams (the crafted one and the one rewarded in the dyson episode) + cuttin beam if you talking about antiproton.

About DBBs, read my pevious post didnt notice you posted after my post.. xx

Actually, yes, you can.

http://i.imgur.com/rtIi0tG.png

1 omni of your preferred damage type, a KCB, an UPGRADED ancient omni and a normal, non upgraded markless ancient omni work just fine. NEVER right click upgrade on the ancient omni and you can run 4 omnis and 4 arrays at the same time.

To whoever said that you should not run omnis and normal arrays, lol, just lol.

OP - if you get plasmonic leech, make sure to stay away from the adapted klingon honor guard shields because the energy proc will conflict and null both effects out. I would recommend elite fleet resilient shields if you can get them.

[evo4ever]

Yeah ive got the plasmo leech now. im aiming to get the dyson shields ive been told they work great with the borg set minus the borg shields in terms of hull/shield healing

[Cain]

You should be fine with those shields depending on the content you run. The main reason I suggested the elite fleet shields is the resistance to damage you get - they are adaptive and resilient at the same time.

I personally use the Beam Banks Antiproton XII fleet edition, a very good weapon setup for my jem dread.

[evo4ever]

Ive just realised ive got the full jemhadar set, i found the shields and deflector in my bank which I forgot about lol. (already using jem impulse)

I could take advantage of Dominion Synergy (+polaron damage useless to me. +Power Insulators any use?) and Antiproton Sweep. Once I've got the assimilated impulse engines and Dyson shields ill swap. Wot dya think?

[Cain]

The main reason outside of wanting the set for the looks (purple jem'hadar glow) is the +polaron damage. If you use that set you would benefit from the extra like 7% polaron damage. Just make sure to use the polaron phase modulator consoles (or fleet spire vulnerbility [+Pol] consoles) and solid polaron weaponry to really benefit from it. Crew bracing is also very nice, especially for the larger ships as it can signifcantly help hull regen.

I don't know how long you are away from acquiring the dyson shields and assimulated sub-transwarp engines - that would impact my advice significantly.

That being said the set is pretty decent (Jem'hadar), and is end game viable if upgraded with the right build.

[evo4ever]

Dont worry i have no interest in MACO and king honor stuff right now
