Hello all!!

I share my current build:



I'm still leveling my Reputations to get more gear.
I would like advice for weapons, which are the best? that are not so hard to get. I like the beams

Also mention that I'd like to be a tank and I would like to get advice for the future ship that I want to get, which is:
Vaadwaur Miracle Worker Juggernaut


Thanks!

A tanky beam boat is a very attainable build, but you will definitely need to make some changes to get there. You can fit up to 3 Omnibeams per ship, one crafted, one set, and a Kinetic Cutting Beam. Personally I would go with 6 Beam Arrays and 2 Omnis, with 5 BA and the Cutting Beam optional. In order to tank you will be relying on the FIRE AT WILL tactical Bridge Officer ability, and having the widest firing arcs possible will help out a ton with pulling aggro. You don't really want to mix beams, cannons/turrets, and torpedoes, all that will do is dilute your skills and build and make sure you suck at doing damage. There are some specific exceptions to this, the most common one is running a single torpedo that's part of a set to get a specific bonus, but starting out it's best to focus.

As for the specific weapons, choose a damage type and stick with it. Phasers and Disruptors are easy to build for, since there are so many different weapons and consoles that center around those two damage types. Antiproton and Polaron are also pretty good when it comes to availability. The important thing, like with weapon types, is to focus. Damage is king in this game, even as a tank, since you will need enough damage output to maintain aggro focus on you.

Most builds are filled with various universal consoles at this point. For a beam setup you will want to fill your tactical console slots with (Energy Type) Vulnerability Locators, in whatever damage type you decide to invest in. And it will be an investment, since you will either need to fork out a ton of credits and Dil, or time spent replaying missions over and over to get specific rewards. Especially when it comes to unlocking traits, that's the real grind.

It's a bit crass, but I've found the "How to Build a ♥♥♥♥ing Ship" guide to be one of the best out there.
