Other gear used: Colony deflector, Competitive Impulse Engine, Discovery Reputation Warp Core and Shield.
Beams:
Full beam boat, Advanced Phaser Arrays, Terran Task Force Array and Trilithium Omnibeam. Adding the Wide Angle DBB from the Discovery Reputation instead of one of the Advanced Arrays will work well, too.

Beams and Torpedo:
Quite identical to the beam boat, just with a Dark Matter Torp and the Wide Angle Dual Heavy Beam Bank.
The ship can be used for any faction and profession.Â

I have been up and down the new stuff (with looks amazing) I see reference to mixed armaments. What specializations do these builds use MW/Strat?
dps wise intel/strategist is the way to go.
miracle worker / strategist could work too tho.
mixed armaments is a reference to a miracle worker ship, its fixed now by getting remove since this ship isnt a mw ship 😉
how does advance beam compare to Harold anti-proton beams and coalition disruptors?
advanced beams are the strongest phaser beams available. for disruptor they defnitly compete with spirals for the #1 spot and should be at least equal.
What Hangar Pet would be the best for this build or are they a minor dps win/loss ?
There is a guide for hanger pets on this site. I hear they are good for dps.
http://www.sto-league.com/a-brief-guide-to-getting-the-most-out-of-hanger-pets
Thats nice and all but this ship is no Carrier build so this guide doesnt help much
Thanks for the post – I’ve been rocking the Verity since release and hold my engineering toon DPS record of 166K with it (love this ship!)
I’m surprised to not see any additional flagship console than the tactical computer. Is it no longer best practice to slot the engineering console and timeline stabilizer for the Deadly Response 3-piece bonus?
Using the 3 piece is totaly fine, especially when you have the timeline stabilizer available 🙂
I do not know with this ship I do not quite get the same performance as with the Presidio the truth
.
I can’t quite get his pulse, you think which ship you like more Presidio or this new Odssey.
Wouldn’t you put more twist on this ship, changing the flagship console?

Just wondering what T6 ship you have there in the images
The Legendary Command Dreadnought Cruiser.
Is this build still viable or at least able to be applied to a dread that isn’t leg? I have the t6 command dread that’s why I’m asking for a friend….it’s me….I’m the friend
It surely is viable. But I really recommend our general guides which are a bit more up-to-date, ie. https://www.sto-league.com/beam-ships-in-the-current-century/
You’ll find a broader selection of builds which can be easily adapted to the different ship types.

Personally I’d prefer the Verity witth the flagship console over the Presidio. If you don’t like the console, pick something else, i.e. a cheap Aproaching Agony. But actually both ships should perform on the same level.
You only put a console of the badges, why do not you put more of the set?
Adaptive Emergency Systems definetely deserves a spot. Even more if you slot the unconventional systems trait.
My problem with this ship is the turn, how would you make it have more turn, without sacrificing much the rest of the statistics?
You should use these ‘meta’ items:
– Prevailing Innervated Impulse Engines (Comp. Reputation)
– EPtE, Evasive Maneuvers plus Emergency Conn Hologramm (Phoenix)
– Deuterium Surplus (Crafting)
Thanks for the help!!
Does still exists? i can’t find it anywhere!
It’s available from time to time.

Yes i see it, thanks, but it will be nice to have the option to buy only the ship and not the whole bundle, many people already request it, i don’t understand why they’re making things so difficult.
