Originally posted by wirednight : Dual-beam arrays are almost better for a large slow ship than cannon if you are insisting on a forward-firing large ship. You can supplement them with 360-beams on the back, and regular beams as well for those moments when you have to turn and those quick fighter type mobs aren't giving you the forward arc you need.

Originally posted by jonnin : cannons also fall off faster at range, or used to. Maybe they normalized it since?

Originally posted by D.T. : To keep it as short as I can... I am in love with the damage output using DHC's on my Legendary Galaxy Dread (from the Mirror Universe bundle, link provided below.) I can get a single bolt from a DHC hitting upwards towards 180k, with all 5 DHC's on the front and loads of extra weapon power to sustain the damage fall-off from weapon drain. It's pretty remarkable, and I'd argue it rivals some top end dps builds despite it not being 100% uptime or sustained. I still average over 60K critical per bolt while only having a select few buffs up at a time. The turn rate isn't an issue thanks to the consoles it comes with as well as a couple points spent in turn rate from space skills. The saucer separation further increases the turn rate and flight speed. It slightly changes stats to give more weapon power at the expense of max hull and shield capacity, as well as Aux and Shield power. My build is centered around stacking a lot of crit d and antiproton, thanks to Surgical Strikes III giving +30% crit chance on top of what I already have. The extra flat damage and crit damage from that boff ability is immense at max rank, despite the firing cycle being halved. I sit at roughly just over 27% crit chance before any buffs have been applied as well. The higher your crit chance, the better off you are going for stacking crit d. Otherwise I'd recommend sticking with DMG mods for your weapons. When I started this build it was just to see what I could pull off on my engineer in space, since he was my very first character years ago. I didn't have but around 12% base crit chance in space when I got the ship and started trying this build, but thanks to Surgical strikes III, photonic officer 2, and 3 Doffs that reduce cooldowns on energy weapon skills (both cannon AND beam doff cooldown officers work on surgical strikes III), I have about a 75% uptime with surgical strikes. It's a 10 second buff, with a global CD of 15 sec. Photonic officer II + 3 Energy weapons doffs reduce that cooldown pretty much every time down to global. Meaning 10 sec uptime, 5 sec downtime, then 10 more sec uptime, over and over. I couple this with one of my favorite traits, also despite it probably not being the most optimal for the build. The Carrier Wave Shield Hacking trait will completely shut down enemy shields for 5 whole seconds when using Tractor beam, or an intel skill that targets/affects the enemy in some way. It has a 10 sec cooldown as well. The uptime of this trait is closer to 25%, but it is able to be used at will. The trait doesn't start its cooldown until the effect ends and enemies shields have been restored (assuming they aren't dead first, in which case you'd still wait for it to end as normal). I found this trait on the exchange for a few million EC, and it will allow you to take out really tough enemies with a lot less effort and a lot more precision. You could find just about any Intel ship with a commander intel boff seat, and as long as it runs DHC's you can have similar results. The only downside is the build suffers against multiple targets at once. But with the high DPS available, all I have to do is prioritize. I always take out the most dangerous ships first, which is very quick, and the rest fall like flies afterwards. I pop borg cubes on advanced in seconds, and can take out massive chunks of HP from boss dreadnoughts in advanced space TFO's. It's all about preference, play style, and understanding of the games mechanics. *Link https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Legendary_Galaxy_Dreadnought_Cruiser Edits* Elaboration, clarification, details.

Originally posted by cap-boulanger : Originally posted by Burba : I think that is the Fed ship I bought. I am going to try this as well. Close as I can any how. I am a bit of a noob and I am sure I will be using weaker gear but I am sure it will still be a blast on normal. Thank you.

The Tholian Web Draws Around the Infinity Lock Box

By Ambassador Kael | Tue 09 Apr 2019 09:00:00 AM PDT

The Infinity Lock Box, containing prizes from nearly all previously-retired Lock Boxes, will be available again for an appearance beginning on PC on April 11th and on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 soon after. During this time, enemies defeated on both Ground and Space maps will have a small chance of dropping one of these prize-filled packages.

When the Infinity Lock Box returns, we’re making some changes to make it easier than ever to acquire a Lock Box! Starting April 11 th on PC, you’ll be able to get the current lock box – in this case, both the Emperor’s Lock Box and the Infinity Lock Box – for free in the Dilithium Store. We’re also adding a bundle of twenty of each box, also for free, in the C-store!

Due to its popularity among players, we will not be following our usual pattern of retiring the Emperor Lock Box, when the Infinity Lock Box begins this run. Instead, both will continue dropping in the world for a limited time, and the Emperor Lock Box will be retired at a later date.

This run of the Infinity Lock Box will feature Tier 6, level scaling versions of the Tholian Orb Weaver and Tholian Recluse Carrier. Continue reading further on for the full details on these new starships!

Updated Prize Lists!

Along with the upgraded starships and all of the prizes offered in previous appearances of the Infinity Lock Box, additional prizes originally seen in the Swarm Lock Box have been added to the drop tables! They now include all of the following:

• Hur’q Ravager Escort Carrier [T6]
• Deconstructive Resonance Emitter
• Hive Defenses
• Resonating Module Attachment
• Resonating Payload Modification
• Harmonic Lure
• Harmonic Repulsor Wave
• Harmonic Resonance Device
• Engineer - Harmonic Lure
• Science - Harmonic Repulsor
• Tactical – Resonance Grenade
• Hur'q Research Assignments
• Includes a chance of winning a Hur’q Vanity Shield!

New Tier 6 level scaling starships!

Ongoing conflicts with the Tholian Assembly have resulted in a steadily growing number of captured Tholian vessels. The unique technologies used by Tholian vessels have taken a significant amount of resources merely to understand and make usable by humanoids. Recently, a team tasked with researching and improving Tholian technologies has made significant strides forward, allowing engineers to take these vessels and unlock and improve upon more of their unique abilities and design.

The Tholian Jorogumo Carrier is the first Cross-Faction scaling ship in the Infinity Lock Box, and the Tholian Iktomi is similarly the first scaling ship available from the Lobi Store. For more on these powerful starships, keep reading!

Tholian Jorogumo Carrier [T6]

During its retrofitting process, the biggest improvements to the Tholian Jorogumo Carrier stemmed from a re-design of the lattice components that link the main ship structures. Changes to the internal environment to make it suitable for humanoid life had made this design be significantly less performant, and this re-design removed the bottleneck that had arisen there.

With this reconfigured structure in place, in addition to the optimizations made elsewhere to attempt to work around the bottleneck, engineers aboard the Jorogumo found themselves with a substantial surplus of power available for use. Some of this surplus was used for improvements such as an improved slipstream drive, additional flexibility on the bridge stations, higher power reserves, and a project best described as “highly innovative.”

As a final note on the retrofitting project, the team’s weapons experts believe they’ve finally unlocked the means by which Tholians simultaneously target the subsystems of several ships with such high precision. While this starship is uniquely suited to this tactic, the report suggests that, given enough practice, any officer should be able to replicate it on other starships.

Precision Multi-Targeting (Starship Trait)

While this trait is slotted, activating any Subsystem Targeting ability will additionally grant you Fire at Will I, as well as giving you a massive accuracy rating buff.

Hangar Pets: Tholian Mesh Weavers

The Tholian Jorogumo Carrier comes standard with two hangar bays of Tholian Mesh Weavers, and unlocks the purchase of more Mesh Weaver frigate pets, including the upgraded versions. These deadly frigates come equipped with Tetryon Beam Weapons and a Thermionic Torpedo, and use Fire at Will and Attack Pattern: Beta to efficiently tear through their enemies. They can be equipped on any Tholian Carrier or Dreadnought Cruiser.

Scaling Information:

Like many recent starships, the Tholian Jorogumo can be used as soon as you complete the tutorial. If commissioned below level 40, some weapon, console, and bridge officer slots will be temporarily unavailable. This starship’s Hit Points increase with each level you gain.

Tholian Iktomi [T6]

Retrofitting of the Tholian Iktomi likewise started in a redesign of the lattice structures to compensate for required changes elsewhere on the starship. On the Iktomi, the resulting improvements were most visible in improved communication pathing and better structural integrity. Those optimizations in turn allowed for higher limiters on the impulse engines and freed up more power for the ship’s shield generators.

To ensure the new experimental optimizations, re-designs, and remaining Tholian technology worked together, a part of the team performed incredible feats and set up an increased number of safeguards around the ship. As a result of this work and the safeguards put in place, the ship has become a much more resilient testbed for field experiments. At the same time, another part of the team worked on improving direct control capabilities. This work, starting from the bridge and reaching all across the ship, significantly increased the effectiveness of the ship’s communication and fire control centers, making it more of a commanding presence on the battlefield.

While performing this work and experimentation on such a distinctly alien ship, the team made significant use of photonic technology, both to safely explore areas of the ship that might still have a hostile environment, and to augment the team’s relatively small size. Continuous minor improvements made during this process, combined with the learning acquired from a complete bridge overhaul, have significantly increased the utility of the Photonic Officer on starship bridges. While these upgrades are most notable on ships with similar bridge configurations to the Tholian Iktomi, the applications of them are general enough to be noticeable on any starship.

Console – Universal – Enhanced Tholian Web

This console allows you to create an energy web around your target, capturing and eventually crushing them if they do not find a way to escape. Formation of the web will explosively fail if used on or near opponents that are too large to be captured.

This console provides a passive boost to your Control Expertise and outgoing hull healing. It can be equipped in any console slot on any Tholian starship. You may only equip one of these consoles.

Improved Photonic Officer (Starship Trait)

While this trait is slotted, the duration of Photonic Officer is increased. In addition, while Photonic Officer is active, you will gain a significant boost to your Exotic Damage and Outgoing Healing.
