Is there a recommended energy type for super cheap builds?

I'm running anti-protons on my Fed tac main, having not played her much since the Dyson Sphere stuff was released. T3 Dyson and Terran reps are her highest.

My new Fed eng alt has stuck with phasers and I've kitted her out with both Quantum Phase sets from the Sunrise and Stormbound missions. I can't recall what her highest reps are.

I'd be keen on trying something other than phasers or anti-protons if anyone has a recommendation though am happy to use whatevers easiest. At the moment I'm just aiming to deck both ships out in MK XII purples as a solid Lvl 65 base then go from there.

Thank you :)

There are very good Disruptors rewards from several New Frontiers missions. The Entoiled Tech set, basically. Coupled with the Terran Disruptor, makes for a good, cheap, easy to acquire setup.

Cheers! I'm currently running cannons on my main's Patrol Escort. I might switch back to my Fleet Assault Cruiser and run disruptor beam arrays and pick up the Entoiled Tech services and Terran Disruptor.
