R.R.W. PIASSO

The R.R.W. PIASSO is my first and probably my one and only ship that easily soloes Gateways & Cubes in Khitomer Vortex. I already noticed the power of Cloak-Buff-Uncloak-Fire during the patrols I did for ship mastery.

The numbers from her 2nd ISA run show what she can do:

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [03:50] DMG(DPS) - @Xynas: 13.22M(58.75K) @edarta: 11.53M(50.21K) @z0raja: 7.85M(34.07K) @mrmuscles3: 4.07M(17.72K) @robdoddy: 401.25K(1.78K)

I built a monster...

Scimitars and Aux2Bat: Shields Down, Singularity Implosion. I picked Engineering Team 3 and avoided the proverbial check-in to the ship yard so far. 5 Superior Romulan Operatives, at least one with Subterfuge, make my awesome bridge crew.

The target shields ability will be replaced by Kemocite laced Weapons when I got the EC.

As Duty Officers I have 3 Technicians (Aux2Bat), a Warp Core Engineer (Energy Levels) and a Conn Officer (Tactical Team CD) assigned.

Energy settings: 100/15/15/30

Weapon-wise the loadout is mostly traditional with [CrtD]x3 Plasma arrays and a full Romulan Singularty Harness - the Experimental Romulan Beam Array does not drain Weapon Energy and the 3-piece set bonus gives an extra punch. Running 30% critical hit, Bioneural Infusion Circuits got a hug.

Rather than going for a bag of tricks with the new T6 Flagship Consoles, I followed forum advices on Scimitars and picked the Shield Absorptive Frequency Generator from the Valdore (T3 Zen ship). In combination with the Energy Refrequencer trait from Iconian reputation and Intel Tier 1&2 abilities the ship uses it's considerable damage to heal itself on shields and sometimes hull in a way I have never seen before.

The Auxilliary Batteries are to help on survival when Aux2Bat has disabled the Science abilities:
A 2-slot key bind to [Polarize Hull][Auxilliary Batteries] in a visible tray either activates [Polarize Hull] on single click or I see PH disabled and do a double click, activating the batteries, and then the re-enabled hull polarization Smile
The space set from Inconian Reputation does a solid job. Perhaps I go for the Singilarity from the Terran Special Forces Reputation.
Until I know how to get the Ship's Mastery Trait into noticable effect, I keep the single Torpedo in the aft slots. I need some field testing make up my mind.

The Hangar launches Romulan Elite Drones - these are Frigates. And Shapeshifters: looking like Borg Probes in ISA, cutsey Doodads in ESD, small Warbirds in missions...

However, as a true Romulan...

Owning my own Doomsday Device...

... and a highly motivated Crew ...

...the R.R.W. PIASSO starts hailing Borg Spheres and Cubes by "Jolan Tru, Obstacles..."

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [04:15] DMG(DPS) - @edarta: 12.12M(52.50K) @vanessawarp: 7.98M(34.38K) @SheaDukat: 7.36M(31.48K) @mbace: 4.90M(21.34K) @order0001: 4.30M(18.40K)

A bit of arrogance never hurts Wink

An ample supply of Reactive Armor Catalysts helps, of course.

Finally, I tried to rely for resistance on traits already in place (no, no Invincible ship trait) and replaced the Fleet Enhanced Neutronium Aloy[+EPS] (+23% EPS) by a shield supporting Exotic Particle Field Exciter[EPS] (+100% EPS). I also like the synergy with the Valdore console (my Weapon Damage heals Shields) and the Exciter (shield heals raise Weapon Energy)

The first ISA pick up group was a 7 minutes survival test:

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - ATKS In: 1,676 ATPS: 4.11 (76.1% of Team) - Catriona@edarta
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - DMG In: 1,232,117 TPS: 3,022.86 (74.7% of Team) - Catriona@edarta
Deaths: 0

I was busy staying alive, but can not really complain...
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - DMG Out: 19,832,164 DPS: 49,223.54 (52.0% of Team) - Catriona@edarta

If the R.R.W. PIASSO is not tank #1, she is a very happy ship now:

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - DMG Out: 13,844,108 DPS: 53,431.53 (39.7% of Team) - Catriona@edarta


SCM - Crystal C. (S) - DMG Out: 4,637,705 DPS: 35,619.86 (28.7% of Team) - Catriona@edarta

Big Grin

Best dps in ISA:
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - DMG Out: 18,630,502 DPS: 57,131.26 (50.2% of Team) - Catriona@edarta

To stay happy when meeting random groups like these:

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - DMG Out: 23,124,503 DPS: 52,723.44 (63.1% of Team) - Catriona@edarta
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [07:39] DMG(DPS) - @edarta: 23.12M(52.72K) @akcrabb: 6.13M(13.79K) @ask4spock: 4.45M(10.04K) @eddy2569: 1.72M(3.84K) @trindog: 1.23M(2.74K)
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - ATKS In: 1,458 ATPS: 3.17 (70.4% of Team) - Catriona@edarta

Just get to the right attitude Big Grin

The build, revised, is now at the STO Academy.

With 8 Respec Tokens ready I changed the Catriona's Skills from the old to new, ported approach to the tree suggested by the DPS-Metal-Guys for Romulans.

The ship feeling changed from "not really tough" to "not really squishy", and DPS, slightly above 60K dps after the revamp (already great, but put to 2nd place by Piper) heads towards 70K (among my Tacs 1st place again):

Heavier Hittertank present (got almost no attention):
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [03:37] DMG(DPS) - @pcscipio: 17.44M(80.46K) @edarta: 14.95M(69.63K) @wadwor: 4.35M(20.31K) @taser125: 1.03M(6.24K) @rotzkehlchen: 755.32K(3.57K)

I was the Heavy Hitter (did 41.8% tanking. got killed by a Cube's warp core breach):
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [06:27] DMG(DPS) - @edarta: 26.86M(69.47K) @wingoflerr: 4.95M(12.79K) @stevengkirby: 3.55M(9.33K) @Lord-Darkness: 3.19M(8.30K) @strathkin: 1.36M(3.60K)

Getting outclassed by a "Scientific Star Cruiser" is a wake up call for a Romulan Tactician in charge of a designated war ship.

I did some training rounds to get back into the ship, and so it came to parse...

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [04:48] DMG(DPS) - @edarta: 25.17M(87.32K) @sgtphenom: 3.96M(13.97K) @lesliegene: 3.46M(12.30K) @droma#0539: 3.30M(11.46K) @definition2: 3.05M(10.81K)

The DPS chart looks like she was just warming up but the Borg could not cope^^
