U.S.S. ENDEAVOUR - TACTICAL STAR CRUISER HSE TANK

INTRODUCTION
Greetings UFP,
here is my heavy tank build on my main engineer character T'Tan. As always when it comes to ship building, I like to thank Bridger for his help and advise he has given me personally or via his great build posts on the forum. Additionally, Reddit forum and chatting in-game has given me much input into this build.

The Endeavour is a Tank build intended to tank HSE while also contributing significant amounts of damage, usable in any Elite story content and pugged TFOs.

RECORD PARSES

ISA

HSE

CONCLUSION
While being quite hard to kill, this build feels very comfortable to fly. Current ISA DPS record is 108k DPS with 82% AtksIn. The average score in ISA PUGs oscillates around 90k DPS and 70% ATKS-In. HSE DPS record is 93k DPS running as a 2nd tank. Main tank record is 84k DPS with 62.5% ATKS-In. Both record runs were in a very strong group.

Of course, any comment, question, or advise is welcome.

Live long and prosper

Nice build.

[Arno12]

I am so happy this build came up, I was agonizing over making a disco toon but didn't want to commit too many resources again, this build is perfect since I already have most of the stuff already .

There are a few things like Bioneural Infusions Circuits console or Attack Pattern Delta Prime trait which are a little more expensive, but you can definitely build a budget version of this tank build quite easily. For instance, you do not need to farm B’Tran for the Technicians by using passive CDR.

On the other hand, there are still a few things I am missing like the DPRM from the Atlas and Timeline Stabilizers console.

Funny you are mentioning your Disco toon. I am planning something similar with mine in a Walker Class.

I already have the lobi for the bioneural console and the trait shouldn't be a problem since I've been selling Conductive RCS consoles for a butt load of ec so it shouldn't be a problem

Nice! The trait cost me about 90m, so you should be fine.

hehe, I just checked, its going for 220 mill ec right now , not a problem, I have more than enough but I'll wait for the price to drop a bit.

Wow, that is a lot! In fact, more than a Walker well, the trait is not really necessary. Going with Attack Pattern Beta only is just fine, depending on the BOff seating.

[JarekCyphus]

God I wish I could use parse software. Haven't been able to since I got involved with SWG Legends.

[Scarlett]

Curious: why Fortified?

[Bridger]

You should replace Duelist's Fervor with Beam Barrage.

[T'Tan]

Curious: why Fortified?

I felt the speed buff a little better controllable by using fortified instead of innervated. Been experimenting with both.

You should replace Duelist's Fervor with Beam Barrage.

Oh I will try that, thx!

[Arno12]

Woot I got Attack Pattern delta Prime today Disco Alien Engineer here I come

[Arno12]

Sorry to double post but I have 2 questions:
1.) How do you have your Sub-Systems power levels set up? Do you have Weapons and Shields Cranked to max?
2.) what did you pick for choice selection in Skills? For example did you pick Hangar Weaponry or Threat Control?

I'm eager to try this build out Since its something I haven't done before since I've mostly done Aux2Batt and nothing like this before

[Cleto Deadman]

I see that Fleet deflector used a lot.
I don't understand why that one is better than the one you get in the Competitive reputation.

Maybe you can explain.
