Starfleet/Klingon Strike Group

Piper, my first STO Character learned the hard way that Escorts are probably not my ship class. I switched to the Guardian Cruiser, suddenly the space battles got kind of... relaxed. The Dust-To-Dust Episode came, Q spread Omega Particles and the T6 Command Cruisers emerged. The reviews I read on these digested to The Lord is with the Stupid. I found my ship class.



The ship build link shows her as she flies. Maybe I should go to Tetryon, joining my Hangar Pets.
The complete Kobali Set and a complete Command Cruiser Console set (both thanks to the Samsar Cruiser) resulted in the most endurable ship I ever (well, in 6 month STO gaming) had the pleasure to command.

At this point the Captain opens a bottle of Romulan Ale...

Visit the ship tailor for a good look. Visit Chrystal Entity. Turn for broadside fire at 6 km distance. Collect Mission 1st places. She was destroyed only once. That battle lasted for more than 15 minutes -  the team must have invented inovative ways not to kill the Snowflake of Evil.

Shield Scrapper. Self Healer. AoE Healer. My Little Death Star. So I call her.

sounds like you stumbled upon a real winner for a puq we got to love the added challenge right?

Do you care to elaborate on why your captain was not destined to be an escort player?

My Escort evasion problem came from 3 sources:
Using cannons, evasive maneuvers cost me damage...
Keep damn distance but show front side most often... no, I am not a Tom Paris.
These Vaadwvaur hunting me with AoE Shild killers, thowing in Trikobalt devices and immobilizing Anchors made levelling missions with unidirectional damage more that unpleasant.
Had not discovered keybinding yet & shield redistribution - so even evaded sometimes where not absolutely necessary. However when I discovered that, damage was already done as I set at the Guardian sofa...

Now Piper flies a bunker that shrugs off things that just vaporized my escort.

Thanks for the added notes. I have not yet taken the dive into escort play, but I intend to. My goal was to do "sweeping attacks"

As with some new cool BOff skill, and a bit musing I revised my baby. Just slightly less punchy than the Manticore, yet tough as ever
