Due to the high demand for science ship builds, here is a brief overview of what is currently en vogue. One fair warning: only read on and recreate one of the builds if you want to invest hundreds of millions of energy credits, piles of Lobi and thousands of Zen.

Science ships are able to dish out incredible amounts of damage to groups, especially in elite queues.  Unlike cruisers or escorts their main sources of damage are:

1. Bridge officer skills
2. Clicky abilities from consoles
3. Secondary deflector
4. Weapons

The following builds are based exactly on this order. 

Captain class
A common mistake is to link the captain’s profession to the class of the ships when it comes to terms of maximum efficiency. This might work in other MMOs, but in STO it’s Tactical > rest...

We have created a set of comprehensive build guides for the most popular build-types in STO. These can be adapted to almost any ship or character that fits in these categories.

Torpedo Boats in the current century 

 by RangerRenze

So the website has a number of guides already, but until now there hasn’t been a guide for torpedoes, while they have grown to be really popular, and as I already had a guide written on reddit I thought I would adapt it so the website also has a torpedo guide.

Captain Class and Faction

To start, any class can work, any class can be worked around, but for torpedoes I’ll just have to start by saying that Engineers just struggle a lot because of all your captain abilities, only 1 directly impacts torpedo damage. Science works, will be fine but Tacs will simply be the best...

Hello everyone,

in today’s post we would like to discuss and go through some builds and general advice for Ground Builds. This guide is by no means a set of definitive “only use this and do that” instructions, but should give you some pointers on what is good and what isn’t.

Skill Tree

There aren’t many options here – just go for maximum damage! This goes for every profession: Science, Engineering, Tactical.

The choices for spending points are as follows:

• 2 points: Device Expertise
• 4 points: Improved Aim
• 6 points: take the one you prefer, you don’t melee often at all so it won’t matter that much
• 8 points: Improved Flank Damage
• 10 points: Offensive Mastery

Personal Traits, Reputation Trait Choices and Specializations

There are some choices here, so here’s a list of good Personal Traits.

Hi everyone,

today we would like to discuss beam ships and how to build them. This guide should show you the general way of building it for different ships and layouts and what is important. We hope it would help you to identify the best choice for yourself 🙂

Skilltree:

Unlocks: all CrtH, Battery Expertise, Max Hull, Threat Control and full Focused Frenzy. Insted of Shield Hardness and Regeneration you can also use Improved Impulse Expertise and Defensive Subsystem Tuning.

Specializations:

Intelligence primary, Strategist secondary

Boffs:

Fed/KDF/Jem:

• Tac Slots: Rare or very rare male tacticals with Superior Romulan Operative (Fleet Embassy – Recruitment Tier 2, required) if your ship can cloak, Watcher Companions otherwise.
• Eng Slots: Also Romulans w/ Superior Romulan Operative (Fle...

Hi everyone,

today we would like to discuss cannon ships and how to build them in a more generalized approach. We hope this could help you to choose the gear for your ship 🙂
This guide could be used for any ship, for cannons ships with more front weapons are usualy better, like 5 front / 3 aft weapons or 5 front /2 aft /1 experimental weapon layouts, but it will work with 5/1/1, 4/3/1, 4/3, 4/2/1, 4/2 and even 4/4 layouts too.

Skilltree:

Unlocks: all CrtH, Battery Expertise, Max Hull, Threat Control and full Focused Frenzy.

Boffs:

Fed/KDF/Jem:

• Tac Slots: Rare Male Tacticals with Superior Romulan Operativ (Fleet Embassy, required)
• Eng Slots: Jem’hadar Vanguard (big Vanguard Pack) or Nausicaan (Diplomatic Commendation Rank 4 or Exchange for KDF) and Kentari (Fleet Colony, if you have...

Hangar pets are often overlooked being seen as a bonus launch and forget secondary or even tertiary damage source. On some ships and with the right combinations hangar pets can add a reasonable amount to your overall DPS. Pushed far enough it is possible to get over 100k DPS from pets alone, although that could be argued to be suboptimal as you will be sacrificing other better areas which overall would give you more DPS.

To get the most out of pets one of the first choices is the skill tree. There isn’t much to talk about here you will want

• Coordination Protocols: +20% Hull Capacity and Shield Capacity for Hangar pets.
• Defensive Coordination: +20% Defence and Damage Resistance Rating for Hangar pets.
• Offensive Coordination: +20% Accuracy ...
