Fleet Galaxy X Dreadnought

OK, so I decided to give the Fleet Galaxy X a try on my sci toon (only currently max level non romulan fed character). I got a ton of help while on Teamspeak with a fleetie (Thanks again if you read this! I forgot who you were!) I just wanted to hear what other people have to weigh in regarding my build.

Right now I've got the complete solanae dyson set, the automated defense console, two of the +phaser/crit consoles from the fleet holdings, elite phaser banks 4 fore/4 aft, the two piece galaxy console set, monotanium alloy Mk 12, and 2 of the shield emitters from the embassy.

The only other complete set I have is the mk12 Jem'Hadar set (with the three ship console bonus!)

On all my other (ok 1) ship builds at max level I run beam arrays fore and matching turrets aft. On my romulan character I replaced the beam arrays fore with 5 dual beam banks with matching turrets aft. On that ship I have two of the fleet RCS turn consoles, so I'm able to keep them on target effectively.

So long story longer, I don't usually like running with torpedoes, as I generally prefer the graphic effects of beams over torpedoes.

Should I switch to dual beam banks fore and turrets aft? or keep my 8 beam array set and broadside? Any other hints/tips to maximize dps? I am a sci character, and don't know what to train my boffs...

HOW ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS FLEET CREDIT

Seriously, I can barely scrape enough together for *one* console. Someone PM me the magic secret.

(Also I'm very interested to see the response to your build, I find my beam-boat a bit dull to play).

Hey Lawson,

Are you having a hard time finding fleet projects to contribute to? Or just not earning enough fleet credit for what you're contributing to fleet projects?

If your toon is currently in Stonewall Fleet and you're having a hard time finding projects to contribute to, in order to earn fleet credits, we could arrange a transfer for your character to one of our less populated expansion fleets, such as the Stonewall Legion, where many more contribution opportunities exist.

If you're not having an issue contributing to projects but aren't getting enough fleet creds for what you're donating, dilithium contributions to projects will see the quickest return on investment. While you get a 1 fleet credit return per 1 dilithium donation. It gets costly, but is an easy way of getting larger quantities of fleet credits quickly.

Be sure to hit up the exchange, as people often sell fleet mark or flee credit bonus pools there, which increase the number of fleet marks or credits, as the case may be, when you play fleet mark missions or make fleet project contributions. These bonus pools drop from lockboxes on occasion, but if you don't routinely open boxes, they can be purchased for EC on the exchange.

I'm a new 50 and donated too many white doffs to a project during the bonus weekend - which was great, but left me at a disadvantage as I'm down 50+ duty officers. Maybe I should switch to one of the other fleets? What are the names and functions of these other Fleets? Are those Starbases full T5? Or is that the point, that they're not and need all these provisions?

Hi,

the other fleets are not tier 5 and give more opportunity to donate dilithium and fleet marks amongst other things the only thing you cant obtain is a fleet ship without being in main fleet but you will need credits first anyway!
Everything else is the same :)

thank you. Is there a list of alt Stonewall STO fleets to join? or, if one requests to be transferred to an alt, is it random/at the discretion of the Fleet Admiral?

And would I still be able to play/see my friends (few as they maybe)? Forgive me, I'm new and not sure if changing Fleets would alienate me from the people I play with.

We have four available fleets.

(FED) Stonewall Main
(FED) Deep Space Stonewall
(FED) Stonewall Legion
(KDF) House of Nag'Red

The ingame 'Stonewallfleet' chat channel is cross fleet communication so you will not lose access to anyone you talk to by being in a different fleet. Equally people on your friends list will be unaffected by any fleet you join.

You are free to join any of the three fed fleets with a fed toon, though we recommend Legion as it has more options to donate as it is the lowest tier starbase.

Answered my own questions with a minimum of searching (the how to get an invite page). Apologies

I always donate everything possible to fleet projects, and all my characters are in Stonewall Legion, minus a token character in each of the other fleets.

He means provide helpful tips and suggestions.
