@Mc Stu - Hey! Question, when you are picking a ship for a build like this. How do you go about doing that besides focusing on the bridge seating. I'm guessing you would want to focus on Commander tactical? I ask because there is a lot of different ship from escorts, to pilots, cruisers and so on. What should someone look for to run a build similar to this? I ask as currently, I have only 2 T6 ships, the Romulan starter pack and the Paladin starter pack. Currently, my main is an Engineer non-alien Romulan in the paladin. Still working up reputation on my main. I went strategist and miracle worker for advice from Sto better.

I believe you can replay the mission “Spectres” which is in the available tab will reward you with your hoice of the standard phaser beam array at MK XII rare or 23rd century MKII rare phaser array. I believe a character needs to be level 65 in order to access.

So what is the best way to do it/get decent weapons? And can you upgrade reputation weapons?

Great Video, Stu! I love learning ways to improve my builds. 9:00 personally, I pronounce this as "Silla and Caribdiss". That's how I learned it in school. :-)

The Prior's World console gives -25% WPC and +15% ish EWD, it was a free reward from a short event recently in the game, that one is a huge boost, combined with the Deutcore and the Morphogenic console (if using any kind of Polaron weapons, preferably the healer Polarons from the Lukari reputation if on a cruiser) and the cruiser-specific WPC reducing command.

Thanks Stu, awesome as always. I’m going for that Sunrise stuff next.

For mission reward phasers, on a TOS character you can replay The Battle of Caleb IV.

That loadout is excellent! Parsed about double of what I thought it would.

Love your videos man. Just got into Sto about a month ago. Your videos have been a great help! Any chance you can do a build guide on the Temer raider? It's the only T6 ship I have thanks to the event last month. Cheers!

That mission where you get the Bajor Defense set, Scylla and Charybdis, is pronounced [silla] and [kaRIBdis]. They're the names of monsters from Greek mythology, and the phrase "caught between Scylla and Charybdis" (like the line in the song by The Police, "Wrapped Around Your Finger") is another way of saying "between a rock and a hard place."

Greatly appreciate these vids and the text!!

on escorts i like to use the trajector warp core from the delta alliance set. the teleport effect is basically a picard maneuver; and if youre like me and sometimes get so caught up in the action that you forget to monitor your hull health and press your health clickies on time, it makes for an effective "oh crap" button to get you out of trouble (especially if you have a battle cloak too). the only major negative with it is if youre not careful you can become too reliant upon it and form some bad habbits. lol

I appreciate your budget builds. I have been watching your channel and another that is all high end elite builds. To obtain his consoles would today cost well over $1000 in real money.

We need more of these builds

For alts your biggest bang is Rapid Support. My highest damage is always my summoned battlecruiser, unless I die before it can warp in. Not having to intentionally lower you hull is huge.

The early Federation, Drozana Station, and/or Nimbus Missions drop Mk II and/or Mk IV Phaser Arrays. You’ll have to upgrade them. Prior to Delta Rising in 2015, a lot of the now purged missions got you phaser arrays as well as the Foundry Missions.

man i miss the foundry... i understand why they got rid of it, but i still miss the ability to make your own missions and share them with the community.

You can make a "decent" build for any damage type on the cheap, and it's handy to have the parts for these builds to complete endeavors. As far as I know all the phaser beam array reward missions (there used to be a few) have been removed from the game.

Awesome! I think I just asked for one of these on a different video

Some of the older missions give Mk XI Twin Phaser Beam Arrays. Also, the Bio-Molecular Phase Beam Array from requisition drops.

the last mission in the "Specters" arc awards phaser beam banks...old school.. twin beam visual, and blue

From "Beyond The Nexus" in the New Frontiers episode(s); There is a Trilithium-enhanced omni-directional phaser array (MK XII) as part of a 3 piece set. - I use that omni-directional with the console for the speed tweaks (2 pieces) and would use the torpedo as well if my ship had the room for it. - I use it in conjunction with the set from Sunrise.

NIce Build...I love Budget Builds for new toons ...especially when you get the most for free in the game... But what about the Prolonged Engagement Set (Phoenix Prize Pack) for the Budget Build???

i like budget builds for new toons, its super usefull until reps are done, and getting to T6 takes quite some time still

Good build but I am trying to figure out who would use it. Not trying to be snarky, but you're using C-Store traits on a budget(?) build. Further, you've mounted everything on a Fleet ship, which implies access to both Fleet gear and possibly having T6 reps unlocked. It almost seems like a transitionary build from budget to mid-grade. Something I would put together for the interim while I gathered the resources for Terran Task Force and Fleet tac consoles. Something I might fly for a week, at most. All that said, it is a solid build on one of my favorite ships in the game. You certainly provided a good foundation upon which somebody could expand. There is value in that.

@MCStu

3 жыл бұрын

I agree, but players resources and what they have vary greatly. These "budget/Normal level" build vids are assuming plays have gone through the beginners guide series and pickup a c-store ship or two.... May I need to think about the terms Im using to classify these builds. Is budget the right word, is budget free or is it compare to a meta torp build that can cost $100-200 depending on how you went about get all the traits..... My goal is for these series/play list to be a progression from the one before it. Definitely something for me to think about, thanks for you input as always.

@@MCStu I could also be reading into your intent, as well. I equate "episode awards" with "limited budget" and that may not be what you were going for. Based on the other comments, at least a few people found this build useful and that, to me, automatically gives it worth. I do like that you used the Fleet Miranda/Soyuz. Building on different platforms gives a lot of variety for your audience to choose from. Maybe you highlight a ship somebody is eyeballing and getting to see it in action better informs them of its relative worth. So I would heartily support that trend.

Sil-la and car-rib-dis : they are the two mythical creatures from The Odyssey. One is like a kraken and the other is like a giant whirlpool that swallows everything like the zarlac from Star wars but in the ocean. Note: this is where the Caribbean gets it's name from.

Thank you very much for this video! Also, just as an fyi, the pronunciations are: SILL (like a window sill) - uh , SILL-uh, (capitalization included for syllable emphasis). cuh-RIB-diss Not sure if you care about the pronunciation stuff, but it's one of the rare set of pronunciations that I know.

Yeah and that quantum beam works well with the legendary galaxy T6.

I looked through my gear, i have a bunch of the exact same beam from a mission, I'll see if I can find the mission later..id bet it's in the old missions that have been moved to "available" tab and out of the mission chains

Pretty soon the lack of beams from missions won't be an issue, this new mirror campaign will be great to get some agony beams and wreck people in terran fashion!

is the torpedo a must for the 3 pc set of that sunrise episode reward? or should i get another?

I know this is an older vid but WHAT IS THAT SONG YOU USED in the video?! IT mesmerized me!

Here is the description for Reroute Reverses to Weapons from the Wiki "By shunting the impulse manifolds into your weapons arrays, the drain usually associated with energy weapon activation can pull from your Engine Subsystem instead of Weapons. While this effect is in place, the firing cycles of all active energy weapons will cycle more quickly. This reroute will be automatically shut off if it takes your Engines offline." so yes you are pulling Engine power for Weapon power. The higher the rank of RR2W the less power drain to your engines.

Is there a specific order you recommend for the spam bar, to activate abilities in a certain order?
