    Hi folks. I was wondering if I could get some assistance with my main KDF guy, Karrk.

    I'm right now using an Auxiliary Dampeners build in a Tor'khat, but I'm having issues with its viability. For those wondering what an Auxiliary Dampeners build is, it is a build in which you cycle 3 Auxiliary Dampeners. In combination with its associated doff, you can effectively have 30% energy and 40% kinetic defense running at all times, while also increasing speed and turn rate. The nice thing about the associated doff is you only need one and can get away with just using a green. If you can get a purple though, I do believe you can actually build up and stack it to 2 times, effectively doubling it. I haven't gotten a purple so I can't say if it does or doesn't.

    Here's the boff layout I currently have:
    Engineering - Team, Emergency Power Shields, Auxiliary Dampeners x3
    Tactical - Torpedo Spread x2, Fire At Will, Attack Patterns Beta/Delta/Omega
    Science - Transfer Shield Strength

    Though I like FAW, I probably should swap it out for tactical team and move strictly to a torpedo build as 1) it is easier to manage with my low EC totals and 2) its not like I don't have enough turn rate to pull this off. Maybe change the TSS to HE and the ET into EPS? What do you think?

    I'm trying to make each of my characters have their own unique style as well. So I will not be making Karrk into an auxiliary to battery build.
