For example Įngineers with Rotate Shield Frequency (buffs shields damage migitation and shield regeneration),ĮPS Power Transfer(increases all ship system power) Having said that, each division has unique space captain skills. Each vessel has its own bridge officer seating, which allows you to tailor that ship to your preference - you rely more on your ships seating and bridge officer powers, to really determine your role in space.

Engineer Captain in a Science vessel, a Tactical Captain in a Cruiser - doesn't matter. In space, none of that really matters, as any Captain, regardless of division, can pilot any ship. They can also fortify their own personal shields, can withstand more punishment. They also can place shield and health generators, and mines and set up a battlefield with them. And Tactical Captains can be the most melee centric but offer higher DPS skills.Įngineers can deploy pets both non-moving (turrets/motars) as well as mobile drones. Science Captains are the buffers/debuffers/healers. The direct comparison to a Champions gadget hero (used to play Champions) in STO is an Engineer.Įngineers (in ground combat) tend to be the 'tankiest' of the three divisons. Don’t care much for straight up DPS roles however I like to have more tricks up my digital sleeves than just “Pew! Pew!” And I greatly prefer anything stupid enough to come at me gets blown the 'eff up well before it's close enough to be a threat. Guild Wars: Necromancer total minion master build.ĭC Universe Online: Mental character with hand blaster sit back and blast away while locking foes down with control effects.Īs you can probably tell I like to be the guy running around in the back line sniping enemies and debuffing, often backed up with one or more AI “pets” or companions to tank for me and do extra damage or provide buffs/healing if they can. World of Warcraft: Warlock because I like their summons. Guild Wars 2: A ranger sticking mostly with bow and setting traps, supplemented by a pet.Ĭhampions Online: Gadget character debuffing ranged attacks and pets to do the damage. Normally I prefer mage/summoner types, as well as archer/hunter/ranger types. I also solo a lot, so I need a character that can give as good as he gets. Likewise I don’t need the beefiest “tank” character, but I hate being squishy, so some degree of defense is a must. And I try to avoid it as much as possible. I guess the only thing I can really do here is tell you what I normally play in MMOs, and maybe provide a short list, and leave it up to more experienced players to tell me what best suits my apparent style.īasically I don’t like melee combat. I really don’t know how STO works in terms of classes and have only the tutorial under my belt for first-hand experience, so I’m looking for advice. I have no idea what character class to pick. The Dauntless you can build more like a Vesta (IE: a science ship with some bite on it) while the scryer has some exotic capabilities of their own if you're willing to sacrifice the science stuff for say, SS3.ĮDIT: if it matters, the turn rate is, fastest to slowest, Dauntless>Pathfinder>Scryer, but they difference is only one degree per ste.Well I had some time to kill and I’m sitting out of the game for a moment to recover from some frustration, so I thought I’d throw this out here. With that kind of focus, the Pathfinder does seem to be built for a pure-science (Partgen or drain) build. Tac, and an additional tactical console slot)Ĭhecked: Fleet Dauntless gets 4 tactical consoles (which is equivalent to the Tac Vesta, not too shabby! Although it still doesen't have a hangar) while both the Scryer and the Pathfinder gets a 3/3/5 layout. In Comparison the Scryer isn't much more tac-focused, but the Com Sci/Int means that you can give it a surprising amount of punch, and the Dauntless is more tac-focused. Eng./Int seat does give some opportunities for eg.

(though I think it gets another one if you upgrade it to Fleet status) tac seat, and only two tactical consoles is pretty weak. The issue is a lack of tactical focus: Even if you use the universal for tac you still don't have a lt. Com science station you're pretty much set.
