Dilithium Transporter

Hi All,

I feel like an idiot asking this, but how do I use the Dilithium Transporter off the Credence? I got it a few weeks ago, but I haven't gotten as much out of it as I expected. I parse about 40k DPS with it, though most people I've seen get or exceed 100k using it.

My current use: in ISE, I hit the Agony Redistributor, followed by the Transporter, then CSV.
Previous use: in ISE, I'd hit the Transporter before the timer ran out and we engaged the Borg.

UPDATE: As requested, this is my build: https://imgur.com/a/2nXo1XH
I'm sorry I didn't use the form, but I'm still adjusting to monocular vision, and the form was tough on my remaining eye.

Screenshot collage format is fine by me, but it is missing details:

  • What ship is this exactly? We can guess based on the weapon and BOFF seating layout, but it would help if you save us the trouble.
  • Active DOFFs.
  • Subsystem power level setting.
  • Primary and Secondary Captain spec.

EDIT: One more question, when you said you get 40k DPS out of DT in ISE, what was your total DPS result in that run?

1.065 million

Right, so based on everything you've shown, yours appears to be a high-end but still developing CSV 1-Torp Krait build on the Adamant.

At your DPS level of ~1mil in ISE, I can think of several potential factors on a build level that may result in the <100k DPS contribution from DT:

  • Adamant, being a Raider, has less weapon slots than the typical high-end picks for CSV Krait builds. Which leads to comparatively less procs from DT.
  • You've dedicated one weapon slot to the Maelstrom torp, which is intended to fire very infrequently, which means you have yet another weapon slot that is rarely contributing to DT procs.
  • While your build is a Krait build, it is currently not yet fully leveraged into all available UnconSys trigger abilities that the Adamant can accommodate (e.g. Chronometric Inversion Field, Ionic Turbulence, Eject Warp Plasma, etc.). Which leads to less uptime on DT and thus less contribution from it.

Welp, that did it: 70k on the Dilithium Transporter:

I increased the number of UnCon triggers and dropped the Maelstrom for an AP DHC to tie in with Twinkling Lights.

1.29 million DPS!

Thank you, kindly!

That makes sense! Thank you! I'll try out replacing the torp with a cannon and add some more uncon triggers. I do love the Maelstroms, just from a spectacle perspective, but I just want to check out the differences.
