What I bother to explain
The firing mode BO Abilities BW Fire at Will, Torpedo Spread & Scatter Vollley
  • create AOE DPS (elementary)
  • trigger the Prevailing Innervated Impulse Engines -> Agility. They are spread to achieve a smooth flight.
  • trigger the Protomatter Matrix Infusers -> Heal -> Temporary Hit Points per Hull Image Refractors (preemptive healing)
  • trigger the Superior Area Denial trait -> debuff enemies & damage boost for the S'kul Fighters
Thanks to TiberiusJP who did that design and made a video on Tribble!

[Image: carpe-diem-01.png]
I dreamt a long time of building one of those beauties!


The Ship
The ship is very lovely and here is the STO Academy Build: CLICK ME
However there are many options to get more from it, or to build it differently.

Option Sample: Space Ship Traits
I used those I got with the purchases I could make with in my free2play project - but Unconventional Tactics will probably replace History will Remember when the Captain get's her Strategist Specialization completed. If we get a TOS Recruit Replay, the Critcal Systems Trait is a strong WANT! The Cold Hearted trait from 2017s Winter Event Ship is another trait I would kill tribbles for!

Option Sample: Personal Space Traits
I use Repair Crews and Context is for Kings from the Exchnage. The ship grows restinances to 70% and higher during battle - Redirected Armore Plating from the Renegade's Regret mission might be an adequate replacement for one of these.

Option Sample: DOffs
I am overdoing CD Reduction for the Engineering Team at the moment (even Aux2Bat has its limits in deduplication) for most contineous agilty from the Maneuver Rep impulse drive and build up ectra Hull by the Miracle Worker spec ship trait.


The Borg Numbers
Sufficiently Agile under resonable circumstances:
[Image: carpe-diem-scm-dps-01.png]
Can stand the beating when it gets nasty:
[Image: carpe-diem-scm-dps-02.png]
It's not just the DPS - I want to be happy in Random Groups too. I really liked how the CARPE DIEM almost shrugged off incoming attacks.

The Movie
I picked some Tau Dewa patrols, Elite difficulty - so you can see how the ship runs in controlled environments Cool

The difficulty people have with shuttles, especially when they join STO, is that the shuttle comes with -S equipment which can be confusing. Namely, shuttles do not need to use shuttle-specific equipment and often, such equipment is worse than just using the equipment off your main ship. In addition, shuttles also have their own challenges: they are fundamentally small ships in their own right and need to be built with the same care as a capital ship with fewer slots. However, it's easier to show not tell.

With that in mind, I built a Captain's Yacht using (almost) all mission-obtained equipment. I tested it out and it works reasonably well. I will note here, as a traditionalist I like to have both energy and torpedo weapons on ships; and to push it further, I gave myself the limit of having only Federation weapon types on this shuttle, so that limited my choices to the phaser and quantum torpedo (or photon torpedo) sets. However, there are several other options available.

Captain's Yacht

The real value in using mission equipment (or even better, reputation equipment) is in two-piece set bonuses. This build benefits from:
  • Trilithium-laced weaponry/console bonus: 5% firing haste for all energy weapons, and +15 flight speed.
  • Quantum Phase Catalysts weaponry/console bonus: +15 accuracy rating, doubles potency of quantum phase weapons shield drain, and doubles potency of quantum phase high-yield torpedo shield heal.
  • Kobali Regenerative Circuitry bonus: +60% hull regeneration (increases as hull decreases)
  • Incontrovertible defences bonus: +30 kinetic damage resistance rating
I did not look to change any traits from my ship as people simply don't do that. I cheated slightly on my goal by using the Point Defence System, but that's a cheap console (from a 1000 zen ship) and can easily be swapped for a tactical console, a science console, or something off the Exchange. The Captain's Yacht has an extra device slot, and allows for the bridge officer to be any type (Eng, Sci, Tac). It's a good idea to have the bridge officer trained in all available Ensign abilities so you can swap out if required (e.g. using Torpedo Spread here but can swap to High Yield, Fire at Will, or even hull or shield heal with this ship).

An issue that people also have with shuttles is the difficulty in aiming and shooting. There are a couple of 'fixes', one being to get a ship holoemitter from the GPL Store; the other is to use reputation equipment visuals on the ship (such as the Iconian reputation deflector) which provides a good "front end". Having said that however, as you use shuttles more, you get used to its orientation (unless you're Red Squad, in which case you "can't recall").

I hope this will give people having some difficulty with shuttles to give them another look.]]>

With Brawndo_Mom and Darkthorne making more videos on the mechanics of STO, I thought it would be a good time to show (not necessarily "show off") my own builds.

I shall be building each ship into STOAcademy.com and then listing them on here.

As some background: I have a number of toons in Starfleet, the Klingon Star Empire, Romulan Republic, and one in the Dominion. I like to try out all three careers in each, as well as trying out different styles of build. I personally get the most enjoyment out of trying new and quirky things, so while I do have one or two high-DPS ships, many of my builds are done more to see how far I can push a single idea. As such, each ship is different. While some builds are more successful than others, they all fly differently and provide their own unique and enjoyable gameplay. And sometimes, what I consider a successful build is that the ship is performing in a way that people (not Strike Group people but *eek* Zone Chatters) said cannot be done.

In terms of approach, I like to headcanon each ship having its own mission, and captain having their own goals and aspirations. I therefore include a biography for each ship and captain in the listing. These are important as the build itself is targeted to this mission and will help visitors (both from here, and directly from STOAcademy) understand why things have been done in a certain way, even if it's not "the most effective" build. After all, for me it's about what's the most fun.

So with no further ado, allow me to present for your popcorn-munching enjoyment
