Build: Engineer flying a Fleet Advanced Escort, used primarily for PvE. As an engineering escort you’re going to be focussing on long-term dps and staying in a fight as long as possible, with the lieutenant commander science slot of the fleet advanced escort being used to maximize your hitting and control in PvE. Weapons: You will want to set this all up for DHCs with the exception of the fourth forward weapon slot.   The fleet advanced escort has a third tactical ensign BOFF slot which is entirely useless in a conventional all-cannon build, however an escort build with a forward torpedo is quite viable, especially in PvE with torpedo spread 1.   Eventually you will want to get the complete Omega Adapted Equipment set with the Omega plasma torpedo, Assimilated Module console, and Kinetic cutting beam. Forward: 3x Fleet Advanced Antiproton DHC [acc]x2 [dmg]x2 1x Omega Plasma Torpedo Launcher (until that torpedo launcher is available from Omega reputatio...

As we are all aware, the nature of Star Trek Online has changed drastically over the past few months.  An increased emphasis on grinding for marks and dilithium and completing various projects, along with the rewards that go with upgrading our starbase and embassy, means that we cannot continue along with the same organizational model that we have been using. I think most of us agree that it is more fun when the fleet is full and vibrant, and that many hands make light work of the starbase construction projects.   To that end, I would like to expand the fleet; however I know that those of us who have contributed greatly to this fleet’s success would be rightfully concerned about an influx of hangers-on getting to reap the benefits of our hard work. We will be making a push for increased recruitment, at the same time restructuring the fleet organizational chart, scaling back access for lower ranks and drastically increasing the contribution requirements for provisio...

Our long time fleet member Deltafox has a problem.   Now, he didn’t always have this problem.   He has a powerful ship, good equipment, is a decent player, and most importantly, could kick his brother’s ass.   After all, that’s the whole point of family.   But then his brother did something to make Deltafox sad.   Deltafox’s brother came to me to build him a better starship, which I did here: http://www.deepspacealliance.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-turn-richards-science-bug-into.html .   And now poor Deltafox is getting his ass kicked left and right, to the point of being curbstomped by Richard 15-0.   This state of affairs cannot be allowed to stand. Deltafox is a tactical officer and he flies the Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit.   Not only that but he has a cloaking device to boot.   This gives him the opportunity to do something very few other builds can do.   This gives him the opportunity for the ultimate alpha strike.
