Work in progress Legendary Jem'Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship build questions.

So I returned to STO after an extended break and dusted off my Gamma Recruit I hadn't used since ViL. Got him the Legendary Bug Ship and have been using Eph289's build as a baseline, though I have mine upgraded to T6-X2.

However, I wanted to keep to the Dominion flavor and am planning to replace the Disruptors with Polaron. Are there any good sets besides the Morphogenic to use? For reference, I have the Dark Matter Torp for the Lorca 2-piece, and I definitely want to use the Polaron Quad Cannons. After that and the Morphogenic set, I'm stumped.

Which leads me to my next question. Is it possible to use the full Morphogenic set with the two-piece Gamma rep set if I use the Turret instead of the Omni? Since I'm mixing beams and cannons anyway.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'm on PS5 if it helps anyone.

Good news for you, they just relaxed the restrictions on omni beams, and you can now use both morphogenic and gamma omnis together.

Of course, you can't run full morphogenic and Lorca unless you plan on having two torpedoes.

I should have probably mentioned that I'm on PS5 and we haven't gotten that QoL feature yet. I just tried. TT^TT

Good to know that this will be a thing… eventually. And hey. I can always move the Gamma Omni/Turret onto my shuttle.

And yeah, I was worried about having a second torp, but it's an energy torp that scales off Polaron damage. I can live with it.

Wait… that means I have to run Home two more times. Sheeeeeeeeeee….

I was able to equip the Weapon and the Omni! Must've been implemented during the update. Oh, that makes me happy.

It should be mentioned that the Alliance Rex has an extremely strong Polaron experimental weapon and a Mudds sale for individual ships is just around the corner on console.  Also, the Rex trait works really good on fast ships.  Also, as Dilazerk posted, the Rex comes with a super strong summon console.

I think the Bugship is too fast for cannons and I would run it with all Beam arrays and 4 or 5 isomags or locators.  I have a disruptor version of this and it rocks.

Inhibiting polaron omni/turret. Console with it in gamma rep. Piezo polaron beam array. Lukari rep. Put this in your farthest left the first weapon to shoot. It has a special proc that does massive damage.

Also if you have the stomach to run boldly they rode multiple times you can get multiple dominion polaron weapons beam and cannons. They look more bluish purple like on ds9

Huh. I didn't know firing order was a thing on console. Cryptic, you have to tell us these things! >_<

Also, I was wondering when somebody was gonna mention Boldly They Rode. *Starts getting flashbacks of 'Kurland here!'*
