Legendary Miracle Worker Assault Cruiser

Overview

The Legendary Miracle Worker Assault Cruiser represents a culmination of decades of technological innovation and engineering expertise. Built using the insight of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E’s Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge, the Legendary Miracle Worker Assault Cruiser has access to Innovation Mechanics and comes equipped with Metreon Gas Canisters, Incremental Phase Shift and a Metreon Gas Warhead Launcher. These innovations, along with a pilot engineering bridge officer seat, give it power and flexibility needed to keep the peace in a tumultuous galaxy.

Strengths

The Legendary Miracle Worker Assault Cruiser is somewhat unique among cruisers. It strikes a balance between tactical offense and engineering defense: so much so, in fact, that is is quite possible to configure the ship with no science seating at all (though the Universal station can be used for a science bridge officer, as we've done with this build). This ship is built to get right in the middle of the action and deal huge amounts of damage, while shrugging off her atackers as only a cruiser can do.

Equipment

This build uses easily-obtained equipment, including only standard gear and pieces which can be obtained through Fleet Holdings and/or mission rewards. See below for upgrade suggestions using more difficult-to-obtain gear.

Clearly, upgrading gear to Mark XV and Epic quality will provide the best results. However, see the Suggested Upgrades section below before heavily investing in gear you may be replacing before long.

We've built the Legendary Miracle Worker Assault Cruiser with beams, in a configuration that will work to broadside opponents, or to just get in the middle of a big crowd of them and start making them explode all over the place.

Weapons

Fore Weapons

Quantum Phase Torpedo
Quantum Phase Beam Array
Phaser Beam Array (x2)

Using the Quantum Phase Torpedo and Quantum Phase Beam Array from the "Sunrise" mission in the Future Proof arc with Console - Universal - Quantum Phase Converter enables the three-piece bonus from the Quantum Phase Catalysts set. This increases Accuracy and shield drain, as well as enabling the Quantum Destabilizing Beam ability, which deals additional phaser damage and transfers power from enemy ships.

Aft Weapons

Phaser Beam Array (x3)
Trilithium-Enhanced Omni-Directional Phaser Beam Array

Using the Trilithium-Enhanced Omni-Directional Phaser Beam Array from the "Beyond the Nexus" mission in the New Frontiers arc with Console - Engineering - Reinforced Armaments provides the two-piece bonus from the Trilithium-Laced Weaponry set which increases flight speed and weapon fire rates.

Deflector

Elite Fleet Intervention Protomatter Deflector Array from the Fleet Colony holding

The Elite Fleet Intervention Protomatter Deflector Array provides additional Impulse Expertise, as well as bonuses to Weapon Specialization and Shield Penetration to make this build even more deadly.

Impulse

Bajor Defense Hyper-Impulse Engines from the New Frontiers mission "Scylla and Charybdis."

The Bajor Defense Hyper-Impulse Engines provide bonuses to flight speed and turn rate, in addition to a phaser damage bonus when used with the shield from the Bajor Defense set.

Core

Elite Fleet Plasma-Integrated Warp Core [AMP] from the Fleet Spire holding.

Shield

Bajor Defense Covariant Shield Array from the New Frontiers mission "Scylla and Charybdis."

The Bajor Defense Covariant Shield Array provides bonuses to shield capacity and regeneration, in addition to a phaser damage bonus when used with the engines from the Bajor Defense set.

Devices

Shields Battery
Weapons Battery
Engine Battery
Subspace Field Modulator from the "Skirmish" mission.

Universal Console

Console - Tactical - Vulnerability Locator [+Pha]

An extra Console - Tactical - Vulnerability Locator [+Pha] is slotted here to provide extra firepower in addition to the consoles slotted in the Tactical slots.

Engineering Consoles

Console - Universal - Incremental Phase Cloaking Device
Console - Universal - Metreon Gas Warhead Launcher
Console - Universal - Quantum Phase Converter from the "Sunrise" mission in the "Future Proof" arc.
Console - Engineering - Reinforced Armaments from New Frontiers mission "Beyond the Nexus"
Console - Engineering - Trellium-D Plating from Future Proof mission "Ragnarok"

Science Consoles

Console - Universal - Metron Gas Canisters
Console - Science - Temporal Disentanglement Suite from Iconian War mission "Butterfly"

Tactical Consoles

Console - Tactical - Energetic Protomatter Matrix Infuser [+Pha] (x2)
Console - Tactical - Vulnerability Locator [+Pha] (x2)

Console - Tactical - Energetic Protomatter Matrix Infuser [+Pha] may be purchased from the Fleet Colonty holding, and Console - Tactical - Vulnerability Locator [+Pha] may be purchased from the Fleet Spire holding.

Bridge Officers

The bridge officer seating of the Legendary Miracle Worker Assault Cruiser allows the use of a somewhat advanced type of build commonly known as Aux2Bat. This involves using two copies of the Engineering skill "Auxiliary Power to Emergency Battery" to reduce cooldowns and cause all bridge officer abilities to be usable more often.

Note that for this approach to be effective, you should slot three Technician Deck Officers into active space slots, of the best quality you can find. They should also have the ability "Bridge Officer power recharges reduced by x% after activating Auxiliary Power to the Emergency Battery." This will allow all of your Bridge Officer abilities to be used more frequently, which can dramatically increase DPS as well as provide increased defense through uptime on engineering and science abilities.
