I started playing STO again after about a 1 year hiatus. I did not check in to builds before chosing my skills but I am able to respec if needed (pretty sure it is needed). I have all reputations maxed out excep the new Temporal one.
Trying to figure out what gear to work torwards next but I think I have most of what I need (outside of consoles), and just need to get them upgraded in quality and rank. I am Space Poor (only about 20m between all of my characters) but am willing to spend a little money on other T6 ships if I can find one that will work better. I do have some other ships as well though, but only 2 that have command seating, which I think is probably going to be the best way that I can boost my DPS further easily.
Speaking of DPS, I ran a ISA recently and came out with 23k on the parse (at least the longest portion of the fight). I was very surprised with this result as I did not think that I would get that high of a result. I do know that I need to work on using my torps instead of autofiring them to increase my DPS and plan on trying to work on that soon.
Looking for any further tips/suggestions to help me out as well.
Thanks in advance.
