Afternoon,
I have recently come back after a 4 month LOA due to work taking me out the country. However in this time I have forgot how to play .....
The game it's self I can pick up but are after help in equiping my Ships. I don't expect you good people to do everything for me but was wondering for some ideas on how to get the best out my ships, and what to aim for.
What I have is :-
Fleet Advance research Vessel retrofit ( My fav ship )
Fleet Intrepid
Fleet RSV
Steamrunner.
i have the Mk XII Omega/MACO/Adapted space sets, plus Mk XI borg
Feel free to inform me of stuff I could do with acquiring.
I can pretty much acquire most weapon types so again just give me some ideas because I am at a loss atm.
On another note I am looking at the Vesta or dyson set, what are the pros/cons
Thanks in Advance

Well, if you don't expect me to do everything for you. I won't.
In terms of ships, just fly what you like best. If you like the FARVR, use it. Just build accordingly. Don't hesitate on experimenting with what things can and can't do. Heck, I run the Galaxy a lot of times and I do very well with it.
If you have all those sets, you pretty much are fine ship gear wise. If you want pure damage, you probably want to go with Romulan Plasma, as the Romulan Embassy has the Science Consoles which help boost Plasma damage. The Dyson Holding is probably where you want to get your Tactical Consoles since it boosts Critical Hit and Severity (one or other, not both).
With Season 9 coming soon though, the ship systems are getting a revamp. So you may want to hold off on purchasing science type gear. Since that's probably the main focus, though I'm sure there will be others.
I can't really say what would be a good type of build for you without an idea of your play style. That's usually what you should do (or at least what I do), is build towards the ship (or ships) that your play style revolve around. Beams, torpedos, sensors, power levels, crew, regeneration, etc. All types of builds out there. Figure out what you'd like, and I can help you out there. After all, I probably have spent more time crafting builds than actually playing them.
Actually, figuring out what you like for playing type wise is usually what will lead you to the ship you should use. So probably should figure this out, then you'll need to figure out which ship works for that type of build. Though if you really want to run a ship, you can always find a way to create a build for it.
Oh. And if you didn't know. Each division's team do not share cooldowns now. Meaning you can fire off Tactical Team and Engineering Team at the same time if need be.
Probably didn't help you out so much, but *shrugs* I tried.

Thanks for the quick reply,
What you put made me think and believe it or not helped alot. I now remember how I used to fit my Nebula with the romulan plasma beams in a support role
I was unaware there was going to be a shake up with Season 9, so yeah will hold back on purchasing ships till then.
I traditionally play a supporting/ CC role hence why I believe the old USS Victoria (Nebula) did me proud.
Once again thanks for making me think and thus remember

Your welcome. Glad I was able to help. Also, as I said, if you feel like trying something new. Don't be afraid to. Well, you can take your ship to Tribble and try it there and then when you feel its right, properly boot it up on the main server.
...something I don't really do. Advice I should really take for myself.
The shake up will probably take awhile to occur. They've only so far done the kit revamp, so the ship part is probably the next thing coming. So until that Part 2 hits Tribble, its a good idea not to purchase a ship you might regret. Though you've got quite a few capable ships hanging around.
