Weapon mods as always, CrtD or Dmg, epic mod: CrtD/Dm. Pen is good too if you’re using crafted weapons.
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 could 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.

  • Cr4ckF0x  says:

    You have a turret for mixed armament synergy… Why?!

    • felisean  says:

      most likely a leftover, use the omni beam instead 🙂

  • Chabee St'George  says:

    Why isnt any torpedo build suggestions?

    • Hellspawny  says:

      I don’t like 4/4 builds with torpedos.

  • Atlantis  says:

    I might be completely missing this, but are the points spent in EPG skill doing anything on this build? Does it make sense to put them elsewhere?

    Thanks for all of your work and help on this!

    • Hellspawny  says:

      There is nothing else that boosts your damage. Anti-Time Entanglement Singularity will profit from it also some active console abilities.
