I know this rep is not very popular, but when events like The Breach, Crystalline Catastrophe, Mirror Invasion you can collect all the Marks you need to get the Rep done and the items maybe not in one go but you can get them.

Or Fleet colony deflector, 3-piece Iconian.

I think the top guys like the Competitive equipment for the boost, whereas I hate the boost because it throws off my piloting to have sudden speed/turn boosts.

There is no longer the one meta since Season 13, you can have a lot of combinations that will do very well it is just the question what is right for you.e

The speed/turn boosts is something you have to get used too but it is only a problem if your way to pilot your ship is constant motion.

Ugh, yeah, that's why I eventually said thanks but no thanks to the Competitive Rep engines. The speed boost was too "feast or famine" for my taste.

Tachyo makes a lot of sense here.

I'm curious why the WC change?

Just experimenting, also the Warp Core is no longer such a big deal when it come to builds.

Scarlett · Posted Mon 21 May, 2018 8:22 PM

Whaaaat? Say it ain't so!

Actually good. Yet, I still believe the Spire Core, generally, is uber.

With the S13 changes to AMP and Power Transfer Rate they are no longer necessary and that is why I am removing them from my builds.

I’m curious about the leech myself, I’ve not tried it out yet, but I’m considering removing it to see how I get on.

Patching up my Defiant too, going to dump the cloak in favour of something else as I rarely use it.

I'm struggling to get my weapon power to over 108 (with all power to weapons). I have 99% of this build with the exception of the Dynamic Power Redistributor Console as I don't own the ship on my fed toon.

Is there anyway I can boost my ship power levels so it sits at naturally without the use of plasmonic leech?

Bridger · Posted Tue 22 May, 2018 9:07 AM

A2B keeps my power levels up and again with S13 having max power is not giving you the same benefits it did before.

aceman67 · Posted Tue 22 May, 2018 9:15 AM

Does AtB have the same 100% uptime same-ability CD as EPtW?

Bridger · Posted Tue 22 May, 2018 9:24 AM

Yes EPtW runs for 30 seconds, AtB for 10 seconds and than the second A2B kicks in and so on.

Scarlett · Posted Tue 22 May, 2018 10:32 AM

Huh. No Leech. Due to A2B, I presume?

Bridger · Posted Tue 22 May, 2018 10:47 AM

Yeap

Given that statement, what would you consider a "floor" for how much weapon power to run?
