Once you have these choices made, you are ready to start your build.

With weapons, you have two choices -pure science, relying solely on your science abilities, or beam boat with more science then you could do on a cruiser or an escort – both are viable for end game. Pure science builds can be fun – though sometimes more complicated. Balancing between the three is near impossible for an effective build, but balancing between two – either EPG and DrainX with ctrlX is very possible. If going science – pick EPG (exotic particle damage) or DrainX (Drain) and mix ctrlX (control) in with it. Advanced Note: Antiproton and Disruptor are consider “tier one” damage types, followed by Romulan Plasma, then everything else – however, all damage types have the ability to kill and be viable for end game. I wouldn’t change from my choice until I have that one particular type picked and built up, unless there is a very good reason. If you want beams/cannons, pick a type damage and stick with it – whether it be Antiproton, Tetryon, Plasma, etc, pick it and stick with it. In the end, you may find a niche with a certain ship that most people don’t see, and in that case, run with it. These are not “rules” that cannot be broken, but some simple truths that are typical across the board.

A science boat can be a beam boat as well – usually having a decent turn radius, but probably wont be the tank in a group.

An escort, though being able to run either dual beam banks or cannons, will (more then likely) never be a tank ship and not have a lot in the area of science.

A broadsiding beam boat can be “tanky,” do a lot of damage and also put out a little space magic.

Do you want a broadside beam boat, a fast escort, a space magic science build or do you want to be able to tank a lot of damage? Some of these types merge together in the current meta, but some don’t, so you need to have an idea of what you want to do before spending resources and time to get to the end point. I do know, however, what has worked for me and many others in terms of building a ship for elite queues such as Hive Space Elite (Onslaught) and other difficult queues.Īlso, there will be a video to go along with this in the near future.įirst – decide what you want to build.

Two reasons for this – math can be fun, but not everyone wants to do it for a video game (plus the math has already been done by those one PC who have been doing this for years), plus, we do not have a parser on the console version of this game, meaning it is hard to verify numbers and what works versus what doesn’t.įirst, a disclaimer: I don’t claim to know everything there is to know about all types of builds in STO, nor do I claim to be an expert. This post will attempt to disclose as much information as possible without being entirely complicated – there is enough complicated math on the STO Builds Reddit for those who are so inclined.

in that time we have tested a myriad of things – as much as it is possible to do so – as well as talked to our PC counterparts about what works and what doesn’t.

Star Trek Online has been out now on PS4 and Xbone for almost seven months, and over the course of the last seven months, myself and several others that I play regularly with have worked and researched on how to build good ships for running elite and advanced queues.
