EDIT: Actually, it should be the retrofit if it's T5, since the base one is T3. Which makes it better, of course.

Well, tanking is well and good for normal activities, but there's no point in trying to tank in any of the Elite queues. The best defense is a good offense, because so many things can one-shot you. It's better to kill things quicker. And antiprotons are the premier DPS weapon type, so wasting one of the weapons' modifiers for a tanking proc is resoundingly 'meh.' It's actually a downgrade from an equivalent regular antiproton weapon. Its only advantage is that you can get them for dilithium, instead of 1-50 million EC on the Exchange.mr friendly guy wrote:Really? I kind of liked radiant antiprotons myself for most of my builds. It helps my Command battlecruisers tank better and its useful in some Escorts, because they don't have the hull points to survive when attacked by multiple ships. If I want to switch to more offensive builds for my Escorts, I would however use thoron infused polaron weapons, to allow a radiation proc and also to get the isokinetic cannon for that extra punch when the enemy is near death's door.
I think that's a bug, your first match of the day should give you 88 or so marksmr friendly guy wrote:Grinding for terran marks is tedious. Especially since most of the time I barely get enough after playing one game to get the 30 marks needed for the daily reputation boost.
Go for the tier VI one, the Yamato dreadnought. Got the best name, after all.mr friendly guy wrote:So far into season 11.
The revived Cardassian arc episodes look nice. The New Link homeworld is much nicer.
The Terran mark set has gear designed towards torpedo boats. Which is nice as I have a torp boat I want to try out.
The quantum phase gear seems to want to promote use of phasers. They are going to make me get a Galaxy with 3 warp nacelles then the fleet version aren't they?
shame they don't say what the tier 6 ship you'll get is (the previous ones gave breen ships but it's not 100% certain you'll get one now)The Romulan Republic wrote:Well, the annual Christmas event is starting up, and having missed it last year, it gave me the impetus to start playing again.

I'll post my thoughts on the Christmas event once I've had a chance to try it out.
No sign of it so far- they'll probably launch it when they do the weekly maintenance, which usually takes place on Thursdays. They'll probably also change the event reward from the Q pics meaning you can't use any you had left over from last year, like they did with the summer event. We have a Breen frigate, a raider and a carrier (only the latter of which is T6)- a 4th Breen ship will in theory mean changing the set bonuses to account for 4 consoles.Lord Revan wrote:shame they don't say what the tier 6 ship you'll get is (the previous ones gave breen ships but it's not 100% certain you'll get one now)The Romulan Republic wrote:Well, the annual Christmas event is starting up, and having missed it last year, it gave me the impetus to start playing again.

I suspect they weren't allowed to deviate too much from the design asthethic of the Breen as it was established in Deep Space 9 (the series that is)EnterpriseSovereign wrote:For once I just wish the Breen starships had some sense of symmetry, the raider and the carrier had an engine connected by 3 small pipes, and a huge sail sticking out of one side, respectively. This one at least doesn't look totally unbalanced. Given they'd fulfilled the other roles I assume the dread is the only route they could have taken.
