Telling us cruisers will cut that list down tremendously! I think to about 40+, and in that range there are (imho), only about a dozen worth a damn.

Because some of those ships have neat universal consoles, do you have a preference on damage type, and do you want to be doing anything exotic?

Antiproton is known to be the best dps cause it procs crit, but it gets costly. Phasers are not too expensive and have some neat designs coming forward (this includes terran rep, I know you said not terran, but you will get t5terran sooner than you think) and there is already awesome phaser options from the fleet and other rep gear.

Outside of this, chroniton and bio weapons have some neat ships with bonus consoles.

There is a slew of other damage types, but you should tell us a preference, it will influence our answers. Don't forget... Do you want to do kinetic? Or pure dps of a given type? (Some dpsers have built puree kinetic)

If you follow my instructions in the previous post, you might hone in on some of these answers. All the info is in one neat spot
