Newbie assault cruiser build
Build Description
Still fairly new here(started around New Year's) and looking for advice. This is what I've thrown together after listening to advice in reddit chat and browsing /stobuilds. For things I'm currently working on, I'm about 8-10 days from being 4/4 on the Iconian set. Also in the progress of crafting as many Omega upgrades as I can, for the next upgrade event. My last 3 reputations should all finish in a couple of weeks, which would let me finish off the active reputation traits. EC is going to be split between upgrading to a new ship vs buying traits though.
I'm mostly looking for boff/doff/ship advice, though any other is of course appreciated. My boffs are fairly basic, with no special space traits. And not sure what doffs to use past the technicians for ATB. Or what ships are good to grind out for some cheapish starship traits. As for ships, I'm really liking the way the assault cruiser flies, and would like something that's about the same, but bigger/stronger. FTPer, so I'd prefer a fleet/lockbox ship over C-Store. I could build up the zen, but I'd most likely take a month or two at least. And even if I go that route, I'd like to get a new ship for use in the meantime.
