Command Dreadnaught Cruisers [T6]


Buran with Veteran Skin

 

The latest additions to STO’s C-Store are the Command Dreadnaught Cruisers, Buran / Cardenas (Fleet Version) for the Federation and Qoj / Fleet Qoi for the KDF. Lacking a LtC tactical Bridge Officer and two hybrid command seats these ships certainly are off-meta. But nonetheless, the Buran is a beautiful ship which is good enough to punch through any mission STO has to offer. The Qoj, on the other hand, looks a bit odd but offers a battle cloak to even it out.

Here are our three sample builds:

Beams / Disruptor / Aux2Bat [MoD]

Beams / Phaser / Aux2Bat [MoD]

Phaser / Beams / No Aux2Bat

Nando’s Baltim S13 PvP Build

Hello everyone, Nandos here.

I’m happy to publish my Herald Baltim Heavy Raider PvP build i’m using at the moment in Arena and Kerrat. I know, it’s not a DPS build, but hey, PvP is there, even if it’s a very little part of the game. Some of you guys would like to fly some Arena or CnH with a competitive configuration, so this one may be interesting  😉 

This is a 5x Dual Heavy Cannons CRF build able to make very high damage hits on target within a short frametime, very useful to neutralize the enemy in a short burst. Also it’s very speedy since it runs the new Competitive Engines and its 2pc Space Set, and it uses some defensive setups that you will see in a moment. 

Of course, that’s not meant to be the perfect build or the best configuration possible out there, that’s just what I ca...
