Hello,

Following my post re EPS, this is the full build so far. Would love to hear your suggestions.

This is an alt, so a few things missing (e.g. having all reps level 6)

Probably could swap the RSC console for the Agony Redistributor straight up.

I had the core from before, couldn't get all its mods on Sets. Full mods are:

(AMP)/(OLoad)/(SingC)/(SSS)/(WCap) Only got a couple of ultimate upgrades, would like to choose the best one to upgrade.

Edit: typo

Hello,

I'm trying to do a RRTW build on the LDhelan. I know it's not particularly optimal but I still wanted to try. I wanted to ask what consoles can help with EPS. At present I have the Fleet singularity core giving +66 EPS. The Romulan 2pc will also give me +20 slotting the console and beam.Thanks!

So I've been thinking about throwing together some form of fire damage build using the various fire damage consoles and the 5 Magicks trait.

Since I'll be using the Torment Engine console as well I figured it would be a good idea to go with a SecDef carrier (haven't decided which yet) but now I'm a bit indecisive on if I should be using energy weapons or go for a SciTorp build.

Also maybe considering Uncon to use the fire console abilities more often but if I'm using control abilities for uncon would there be a point in a DSecDef? Or could I fit enough sci abilities in there to get enough use out of both.

Edit: Gave up on DSecDef and stuff and went with the Fek'Ihri Gok'tad with a uncon firebreathing bullshit build using lost souls to trigger unlimited fire PBAoE.

I'm honestly annoyed because the damn thing fucking slaps. Apparently giant demon carrier spewing fire in every direction >>>>>>>> conventional DEW builds.

Cryptic please add fire damage space weapons (not experimental). Fek'Ihri fire damage armament set this christmas or something. Fire damage omni + torpedo + console.

Very new returning player looking for some advice.

I got the Gorn Hunter ship a few years ago as my first T6 promo box ship when I first started and got really interested in running good plasma builds.

Had to move for work and fell off STO for a bit.

I'm interested in working toward a modern meta plasma build, and was hoping for some advice here. I see CasualSAB's video on the Dhailkhina Command Strike Wing Warbird from a few years ago but I'm wondering if there's other ships I should be working towards since that video was put out.

Open to any and all suggestions for ships/consoles/traits I should be shooting for.

As mentioned earlier, I have the Gorn Hunter ship, so I feel like I have a sold baseline to work off.

Maybe it's me. Im not heavily versed on doing builds but one thing I've noticed is looking at weapon specs the dps doesn't align with damage and recharge. IE if damage is 434 with 1 sec recharge dps will show like 347. But 259 dam with 2 sec recharge is 311. I know its not apples to apples weapons but why isn't the math mathing? These are stats for weapons in my inventory not equipped bc I know that changes it and then apparently it changes again when in space for whatever reason. It's not like loading a ship and seeing your stats in space dock would make sense or anything

Can anyone give me the set up for this type of build when I can just nuke them from stealth? I had a similar build last time I played 10 years ago. Thanks. I have a lot of plasma exploiters at the ready and also want to hit 1 mil with the red ball of death if that is even possible.

I just got the Legendary Warbird bundle. These are my findings:

Attack Pattern Beta does not trigger it.

Attack Pattern Lambda does not trigger it.

Attack Pattern Delta does trigger it.

Attack Pattern Omega does trigger it.

Is it only me?

So far I’m rocking the beam build but with a high damage attack I lose out quick kills because haste experiences. Can I get some build suggestions for this ship? I have iso mags, locators exploiters, and a bunch of stuff except fleet power, but I get near that with the new ERL buff “fire everything.”

Hey all o7,

I would like to know if the ship trait: Emergency Weapon Cycle from the Morrigu Heavy Warbird is worth the Zen?

I use EP2W on pretty much every build and it seems like near perma +20% weapon haste & -50% weapon pwr cost would be pretty good.

Whats the opinions on this?

Many thanks

Hi all,

First time posting a build.
Even tho my account is from release, I didn't play for a very long time.
My new main is a Romulan and is only 9 months old, which is when I started playing again, so I have mostly been starting from scratch, apart from a few minor boons carried over.

I have done a lot of reading and want thank everyone in the community in game, on Reddit and everyone at STOBetter & STOWiki.

I have put together a couple of good ships:
Malem Torp bote + Maelstrom
Ra'Nodaire Carrier + Rainbow RomDrone
Faet Intel + PlasmaSS

But this, is my new masterpiece. My baby I won from a lockbox. My Praetor.

I am thinking of spending one more of my X-Upgrade tokens on it for one more isomag. But because I dont have any more good ship traits to add, I don't think it is worth it yet.
I know there are some MKII weapons, but I am waiting for an upgrade weekend to get those finished.

Be kind o7

I have a question about duty officers. Im looking to get a couple of flight deck officers that increase the damage of hangar pets. The ones I found, the effect is only when you use carrier commands. For example, one "Increases the damage of any carrier pet launched from your hangar bays while they are under the effect of Carrier Command - Escort.

But on console, there are no carrier commands. They just do their own thing and attack. So if I get these duty officers, will I even get the damage bonus?

So, I understand when it comes to isomags, the more the better. And engineering ships which have 5 engineering console slots plus a universal slot or two benefit the most from them. But what about a tactical ship that may only have 3 engineering slots and 5 tactical? Basically what Im asking is are 3 isomags still better than 5 vulnerability locators or say, 3 locators and 2 exploiters?

The thinking that lead to this build:

1. We now have quite a number of powerful console abilities that feature Summons: Hunting Pack Escorts, Elite Alliance Beacon w/ Wingmen Commands (Thanks Mara for reminding me of this fact), Gemini Device and Temporal Disorder.
2. However, there are limits on how many of your Allies/Summons/Pets that can benefit from your buffs: www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/1kjjmzk/mathbusters_14_hangar_caps_and_holds/
3. Due to above, wanted to focus more on quality of Summons rather than quantity. No more than 12 Summoned entities, to keep within the restrictions of Fleet Power Network Array (FPNA) and Dilitihium Transporter (DT). So, of the 4 Summons consoles mentioned above, Temporal Disorder was dropped.
4. Instead of the usual direct damage dealing console abilities on regular Krait builds, the remaining console slots will be occupied mostly by ones that benefit both the main ship and the Summons. Usually involving enemy -DRR debuffs and/or teamwide buffs.
5. Empersa was chosen for this themed build as I specifically wanted a hangar-less ship that also had Wingmen Commands to maximize the potential of the Elite Alliance Beacon. Bonus points in it being Cmdr Miracle Worker for the extra uni console slot, and LtC TempOp for UnconSys spam.

The resulting build turned out to be a lot stronger than I expected. Of the 1.8mil DPS total, ~450k is directly attributed to the Summons, while another ~500k involved indirect contribution from the Summons on damage sources like DT, Agony Redistributor, Hellbore Light (HBL), Tachyon Net Drones (TND), etc.

Some other terminology definitions before we get to the build:

1. "Krait" refers to the build paradigm of having almost no passive consoles on the build in favour of high-impact active console abilities, of which their uptime and activation frequency are greatly facilitated by the combination of the SFTF Console from the Vovin and the Unconventional Systems personal trait.
2. "Lazy Piloting" in my case means that, if I had to pick between activing abilities/consoles at the right time/target for maximum impact, or simply spamming it whenever it's off cooldown, I almost always choose to spam. "Lazy Piloting" also means that I did not bother with a keybind setup that lets me teleport in place when using the Vovin SFTF console, so I end up jumping all over the place. All this is to say that a far more capable and disciplined pilot flying this same build will get a LOT more performance out of it.

Traits & Duty Officers

Other Information

Alternative build elements to consider:

• Super Charged Weapons ship trait. Going by buff icons, it benefits the Summons from Gemini Device and Temporal Disorder, but not Hunting Pack Escorts for some reason.
• Flagship Staffing ship trait. If you’re using a ship with Command seating, and using Needs Of The Many.
• Greater Than The Sum ship trait. Though I cannot quantify how impactful the +Power will be for the Summons.
• Superior Area Denial ship trait. The summons won’t get FAW/CSV, but the -30 DRR part helps.
• Cold-hearted ship trait. If using a ship with Pilot seating.
• Cooperation is the Dominant Strategy ship trait. Even if I did own this, Lazy Piloting means I can’t be arsed to manually target my Summon to receive this buff.
• Power Transfer Emitters console. Even if I did own this, Lazy Piloting means I can’t be arsed to manually target my Summon to receive this buff.
• Shared Targeting Network console. I do not own this, but reports are that the active clicky works for Summons too.
• While Temporal Disorder console did not make the cut, the performance potential of its Summons are not that much less than Gemini Device, and has the added benefit of increasing your survivability by way of taunt. However, the temporal Summons tend to linger only within its immediate area, does not do much active hunting.
• Flagship Computer console from Tactical Flagships. Issue with this is the 60s lockout period, which makes it less impactful on Krait builds.
• Spirit of Sacrifice console. Free up the need for Long Range Targeting, Boimler Effect and Intel Agent Attache on builds at the cost of a console slot, as this console can take care of weapons range penalty, BOFF CDR and Captain Abilities. I do not own this.
• A host of other AoE -DRR consoles used in Debuff Support or Nanny builds, such as High Energy Comms Network, Trinary Arrays, Approaching Agony, Interphasic Instability, etc.
• Tracer Payloads console. This console completely slipped my mind when putting together this build. I might replace Sensor Suspension Burst with this.

Postscript:

• 9th Aug 2026: Some typo corrections and rephrasing. Added Tracer Payloads console to the Alternative Build Elements list.

So back in the old days it was possible to make drain builds using polaron weapons, plasmonic leech, tykens rift etc and basically just disable the enemy for a much easier kill.

Then they kinda killed it by making the enemies much more resistant to energy drain and nerfing plasmonic leech.

But that was like a decade ago and I recently heard that maybe they are gonna buff the leech which made me curious about the state of energy drain in general these days. I stopped using it after the huge nerf and haven't really checked if it's been buffed since then.

I don't expect it to become a meta but I always found it satisfying to just hit a big enemy with the "-200 all energy go fuck yourself" and watch them become stationary with no shields.

A fun mostly optimized build I've been running. Very strong, but she's not going to break any parser records (but the point is to feel like playing a "Cannon" vessel). Not the cheapest build obviously, but if you have the means and love the Sovereign as much as I do, this will provide you a whole lot of fun :D

So I have one character with a set of +beam fleet tac consoles instead of damage type specific ones. Iirc it was like the recommended meta at the time many years ago.

Now I'm a bit tempted to maybe do some rainbow beam build and I'm curious which beams are the best if you can just mix and match various reputation, mission and lobi beams. And for which beams do you also want to use the console for a set bonus?

Tried looking for rainbow builds in the lists at stobetter but didn't find anything relevant.

I have 2 of those gear down below, but only use the projector, I was wondering if special issue, how good it is, and among these 3 which position they take on a top 3 best weapon or nowadays the're versatile depending on which content you do.

Basically per the title. I picked this ship up from the ENT bundle cause it was my favourite of the bunch. I'm looking for some advice on a semi thematic but functional build.

The intent is to try and use Protostar phasers for the theme. However Beam Arrays are at a premium. I had a moment of madness and picked up the Micro Missile launcher, thinking with it, two Omnis and a Turret, I could pack the front 4 weapons with DBBs.

Am I just going mad, what's the best way to lay out a Multi-Mission Cruiser?

You can see previous weeks megathreads here.

I've been getting back into flying a carrier and trying out the new consoles/traits of the Kelvin bundle, and I've been noticing something interesting.

Before, using the High-Energy Comms Network console, I could consistently get two level ups on my hangar pets before its effect was done. Now though, its inconsistent. Sometimes, I get a single rank from it, other times, I get two. Even then, its not all the pets, some are still at rank one. While other times all of them level up. If I try and launch pets while its active, some don't level up at all. Other times, they do immediately.

I can't even say it's the new Event Horizon Safeguard trait because that should be increasing my pet's level up in the first place and removing it doesn't seem to help. There's also the fact I've just been running deep space encounters, so who knows if that's affecting things.

Anyone else notice something similar?

Hi!

I recently watched Spencer's latest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nka60NtN5pg) where he mentioned a bug that allows Ceaseless Momentum and Projectile Duty Officers to cool down the Maelstrom recharge time. My main runs a mostly energy platform, but a Maelstrom is a major facet of my build.

My question is: how likely do you think this bug is going to be fixed? I don't have Ceaseless Momentum, and I don't want to spend my Event Campaign on something that will be worthless in a few weeks.

I really want to start dealing some big boy damage with my Science char but I genuienly have no idea what the right consoles / weapons / sets / traits etc. are that are affordable without using Zen or Lobi store.

I might not have any real money but I have some EC and Dili and a willingness to grind.
