It's a guarantee if I'm online!
The click is a 2m CD though so seems situational to me. I'm curious if the Tachyokinetic Converter or even an RCS Conductor would have better returns in the long-run? I dunno, if the Transwarp Computer didn't strait up SUCK, then I'd like to think the 2-PC would see some action.
All this has convinced me to buy a Tucker for The Trait. And that means Bridger owes me money. I accept PayPal.

Both ships are good, but the Miranda is a lot more versatile.
Like Timeline Stabilizer, D.O.M.I.N.O., Dynamic Power Redistributor Module, that are also on the build.

Then it's a matter of use. I'll fire off DOMINo and DPRM as often as they are up. Yet, the TMMs boosts are improved dependent of target quantity, so it makes sense to save it when you can maximize benefits.
In ISA, there are essentially three moments when the TMM would get optimal use. Or I'm wrong and it should be active as often as possible, even against 1 target.
You still owe me money no matter what.

All of this Excelsior talk has triggered me into seeing what the old girl is capable of these days! I never really enjoyed the BOff seating...still don't, be she is a beautiful and capable ship! I lucked into a decent pug for this run. 106K is the highest I've pulled so far with this ship. Not bad for a lowly Engineer!

It's no Bridger build, but it'll do. Actually, I've picked up quite a bit from Bridger, so credit where credit's due!
Cheers!

Nice build, have you considered picking up the Nausicaan Beam Array.

Yeah, I tried it with the Nausicaan set first, and it was probably more fun, but it didn't come close in DPS. With the Nausicaan set, I regularly scored between 65K and 85K. With the current setup, it's nowhere near as fun, but the DPS has been running between 85K and the advertised 106K. So, take that for what it's worth to you. I've gotten this out of my system now and I'm back in my Fleet Manticore Destroyer, until someone triggers me again!

The Reliant has more flexibility to it, but it has been brought to my attention that Scarlett is standing behind me, thumbing the edge of a machete with an annoyed look on her face, so I'll just say any flavor of Excelsior will be fine.

Yes, kind of...I use the +Turn Xenotech consoles on cruisers, generally, and I use the +Res Xenotech consoles on the destroyers and escorts, generally. I might try the +Power Transfer Xenotech consoles first on agile ships, but from experience, I usually end up with the +Res. I'm trying different builds, but these core parts seem to work best towards my DPS goals, without sacrificing survivability. With these core parts, most of my builds average 100K or better DPS, and are capable of surviving up to 3,000,000 damage without dying...usually!
If survivability is a problem, add a Colony Tac console, or 2. I always aim for DPS, then hedge back to survive, if needed. My Excelsior has no Colony Tac consoles because that ship is hard to kill! My Manticore has 2. My Fleet Heavy Escort Carrier has 4! All are variations on the same build.
Cheers!
