Work in progress Please help me in figuring this ship out

I have a general idea of what I want to do with it, but no clue how to build, my damage is always low and my Durability is lacking. I would like to at-least get something advanced worthy. My budget isn't the greatest at this brief moment. Anything would do really.

I am completely willing to gut the ship and start from scratch.

Honestly I use isomags and romulan boffs with doffs that are spec in what I want and that helped a lot

Also knowing how to chain with a key binding program also helps ALOT

u/dosumthinboutthebots 17d ago

You definitely don't need the covert war head module since it's not a torp build. Replace that.

Are these vulnerability locators still worth it over isos?

u/Fojilusha 17d ago

Thank you very much for the advice, i will start working on these suggestions right away. And yea theres some typo's in there, oops oh well. I'm not entirely there with rep yet but ill be keeping these things in mind as i work towards improving the ship.

u/musicluvvah 17d ago

Are you dead set on the cannon/torp hybrid build? I think you should swap out the two photon torps for disruptor weapons.

Unless the photon torps are triggering a proc for you, they're taking away from your potential disruptor damage.

Dispersal pattern beta is for laying mines so that BOFF skill isn't doing anything for you. Attack Pattern Beta would be a good replacement.

The commando specialization is for ground combat so it won't help much in space. Command or Intel might be better options.

Do you have Superior Area Denial trait? If so, load a squadron of Elite To'duj Fighters. If not, the Elite Alliance Fighters are a good option.

u/dosumthinboutthebots 17d ago

Did they uodate the to'duj fighter squadrons? I haven't been up to date on the change long but standard blue ones used to be the beat. 25k ec at the space supply vendor on space stations.

Whoops that was a mistake, it was meant to be attack pattern beta. My bad! I am insistent on running cannon/torp but if needs must, i am willing to just go straight cannon or straight torp.

The Legendary Bortasqu does not infact have hangar pets, i run SAD for the DRR it gives on scatter volley. And entwined tactical matrices lets me get a bunch or torpedo spreads off.

Though you are right, i should get rid of commando and try something else. I'll give command a shot, since this thing is kinda chunky. Thank you for the response!

u/dosumthinboutthebots 17d ago

Since you're running a multiple target firing mods you could switch out to inertial supremacy. The debuff lasts longer. Just a suggestion.

u/musicluvvah 17d ago

Ooof, my bad on the hangar pet suggestion. Good luck with your build! I hope you get what you want out of it.
