U.S.S. CHRISTOPHERUS - T6 Scientific Star Cruiser (Yorktown) - Ed's 70K Tank
#1

U.S.S. CHRISTOPHERUS - NCC 910405

This time I did the step from a tough damage dealer to a voluntary Tank, with Weapon Signature Amplifiers equipped, and Attract Fire and Threatening Stance active in combat. I was cought by a show off and took a lesson, then I stole the teacher's notebook to build this ship:

The Ship

One important part of this tank is the Feedback Pulse 2, supported by the Plasma Generating Weapon Signature Amplifiers[EPG]. 2 Krenim Science BOffs and the [SciCdr] deflector are also very helpful.
The cat-shaped teacher flies a pure broadsider, I just did not have the single beam arrays (would have to dismantle another char's ship, actually). DOffs are also slightly different, as I could not get the Jem Hadar Agronaut at the Exchange. I went for 3pcs Iconian and a Dyson shield, sacrificing a strong team buff CD for "better" and permanent protection.

The Captain
The Skill Tree is just me, here I did not change things. I am specialized in Pilot/Intel.
On Traits I adapted.

Building her has been great fun. Now it's time to boldly go where no reasonable man has gone before Big Grin

Nice ship Ed. How do you get your photos of your ship build? Do you splice them together in photoshop or something easier?

I use GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) - maybe a slight overkill for the Load-Out/BOff/DOff pics, making things like the Skill Tree pics would be impossible without a power tool. GIMP is free, and great Smile

Finally made a build in the STO Academy Big Grin

Running Hive Onslaught Advanced with friends is also not bad at all, and teaches a bit humility Wink

Build Variant:

On her first ISA solo the USS CHRISTOPHERUS failed to prevent the Nanite Spheres from healing. I prepared a modified set up for the next solo run:

Replace Enhanced Feedback Pulse (Trait) and Feedback Pulse-2 (Ability) by Attack Pattern Delta Prime (Trait) to make up for lost FBP damage and Gravity Well-1 (Ability) to have crowd control on board.

Let's start 2017 with a char's new best battle record...

When I looked into my chars, I found that Piper, my primary char, had his entire BOff crew equipped in Mk XII very rare (or...  Blush "plain purple") reputation sets. And, maybe, I want an alternative to the Romulan Imp Navy set... With 3000+ Omega Marks in the pocket, farming  Borg Borg Neural Processers for a MACO and an Omega set was compelling and an ISA in the morning never hurts.


It's a good day to disassemble some Borg!

I learned to never insult team mates. In this group, the "weakest link" did the gravity wells which saved the Nanite Spheres optional objective

5 minutes of heals - and there was room for more. The Aux2SIF button collected some dust!

P.S.: I really Heart my ship, and changed her loadout a bit!
