The Ba'Ul weapons are there because a LONG time ago I settled on Antiproton weapons. I got hold of a set of
Herald Antiproton Beam Arrays, and I liked the pretty purple beams. Ever since then I have been collecting Antiproton consoles and weapons. The
Ba'Ul weapons are just the latest. There are a couple of Universe builds out there that try to make the Temporal Heavy a decent tanker.
But if we're honest with ourselves, we're not getting a Universe Class or a Durgath or a Valkis to make DeePS runs, we get one so that we look good doing it. Out of the box they're pigs to fly and massively underpowered. The trait is junk (spelled c-r-a-p), and the pets are better as ADV frigates than Elite. There are FAR better choices for combat vessels in the game that come at a far lower price. And speaking of price, never forget that these things can sell for MAX EC on the Exchange. So maybe consider listing a Universe or a Valkis on the market and then get something you'll get some real use from.
A Temporal Heavy Dreadnought is NOT a logical purchase. It makes no sense tactically. It is all about having the ship just to have the ship. That's why I have my Valkis: To have a Valkis. But when I have to play the game, I'm calling up my Science Pilot Warbird (or more recently, my Mars Pilot Escort).
