You have no idea how much i was waiting for this video, thanks a lot! compared to all other MMO's I've played STO is not as clear in terms of classes and 'talents/skills' and quiet overwhelming so this video is absolute gold to get a beginner going!
Totally an ass saver tutorial! I had a few attacking issues with my NX Refit on a tactical char. I used your modifications and Ken Robinson's suggestion, and boom! My ship got re-energized! Thank you for this!
9:56 Instead of spending two skill points on weapon Subsystem performance and Engine Subsystem Performance, wouldn't it be better to take Warp Core Potential and Improved Warp Core Potential? You'll get 5 extra subsystem power to all subsystems, rather than just 3.2 to 2 of them, helping your energy damage and maneuverability even more as well as giving you better defense and buffs to your science abilities, improving the versatility of the build.
That would depend. I think there's a lot of skills that are subjective and have types of ships and builds in mind. I think this is just a general build and while talking through it, he gives us what he thinks the "Weight" of each skill is. For me, with abilities and Batts etc, putting points into subsytem power which gives you 3 points is not something I would do. But I'm sure other people would.
For captains that want to use shields: The Kobali Regenerative Circuitry Set is nearly a viable equivalent to having all of the hull boosting skills. Put zero skill points into hull, and 11 into shields, including the mastery branches. Now the hull and shields are both pro grade. In my Narendra Class Support Cruiser, using this configuration with minimum power to shields and Threatening Stance III, most content can barely put a dent in my shields. For the special attacks that either punch a hole in one side, or turn them off briefly, the Kobali Set keeps my (completely unsupported by skill points) hull in the fight, every time.
I don't really run a proper 'Tank' , more like a light tank, can survive well enough and pack a strong punch. By using Pilot and Intelligence it becomes fairly mobile and helps with better offense/defense mix.
Adjustments for Tac build, definitely get the control for gravity well. If you can pin them down in a clump they'll get wiped out faster. Its when mobs start swarming you that I find I have a problem. So long as they're clumped up and pinned down they're less of a threat and easier to erase.
They should get rid of retraining tokens. It's a stupid and a terrible way to milk money and prevents the players from organically getting familiar with the captain's skills and the pros and cons of their builds. I lead a fleet and having almost 11 years playing this game I am usually the one helping with the builds for fleet members. As soon someone says it's performing badly at the game I check their gear and I'm able to help with it and when we get to the skills most of them don't have tokens because they are F2P players and they have to wait until reach rank 6 in some reputation or some major change in skills when Cryptic bless us all with free tokens. Great way to make your players lose interest and jump ship or be bad at the game.
For a second there when you said a 'Sci-Oriented Skill Tree' I got overly excited thinking there was a 'Psi-Oriented Skill Tree' with all psionic-themed powers that somehow in all these years I never noticed. That would be fun.
Thanks!, Went back to look at my sad SCI build, can't decide the ship. Cardassian Intel SCI dead or Lukari Dranauur Scout Ship. This SCI toon is currently using the event fire breather, it's a fun boat. Still seeing what works best with traits.
Generally most people ignore torpedo, shields but not shield hardness and put the points in beam builds however with dark matter torpedo you may not want to ignore torpedo. Generally rule of thumb is choose beams or torpedo and if you run with beams don't use cannons the drain is going to reduce your damage, every weapon type gets pooled so your aux gets divided among your weapons energy type and weapon class so if you have phasers or disruptors stay with that if your energy type is energy stay with that don't mix energy types or your going to get pooled. It's kind of like having gigs and using the up and being throttled down so that's how that works. You want the advanced skills accuracy and amplitude If your a tank that's not as important. You want at least 300 points in energy transfer rate anymore is a waist there's a cap on how much your ship can use so 300 points is a good number some rum higher but really that's just a wasted console slot Aux bat as much as possible on your skill bar. Get as much hull penetration as you can also you need a hundred points in shield drain you do that with two science consoles from drainer fleet colony each has 51 points of drain. If you're not a. wreakless charging into heavy enemy fire Captain you should be able attack targets at medium range with a threat reducing locator of your build is not based on threat. If you are DPS you should be attacking at medium to long range anyway DPS is a ranged skill bit if you drop out of warp on top of a Borg ship you are trying tank so if your Shields get burned down it's because your trying to tank instead of Playing the role your.ship is set up for, If you Mixed tanking and DPS your going to need a high level of resistance because the armor was given more of a diminishing return value because cryptic noticed DPS was tanking a bit too easily. So if you noticed your a little squishy lately it's because the armor was adjusted again in the game. The point is so that tanks are tanks and DPS is DPS. Although you can mix the two for more survival balance and still get good damage your armor penetration is going to take a hit as you add on more defenses.
Question I have a tactical officer and I purchased a T6 Scott class which is engineering will I still be able to make use of it? I didn’t check properly prior to purchase relished afterward. Good ship sofar though.
The one request I would have is - could you please use ship/equipment most of us would have - it's nice seeing all the yellow but for the vast bulk of us - seeing builds on normal Tr6 X /Rare/Very Rare and how we build to legendries would really be appreciated.
Im new to the game i created a klingon race character what you reccomend i go for cause i pick tactical but people say engineer and the other one are better so i dont know what to do or what skill tree to choose
I was told by people who pvp that going into the tac side wasn't a good idea(console player btw) so for a pvp sci build would i focus less on the hanger bonus and accuracy and moving it to more survival?
Its been a year, so you may not see this, but WHAT IS THAT VANITY SHIELD ON THE VERNE? Thats my main ship I use and most vanity shields dont do much on it. That one looks insane and I havent found it in game yet.
All ny feds and romies are either tanks with science or anks with DPS only mew Klingon isn't. Hed just shit. He gets killed in seconds by frigates since last week. Any chance to get him to tank better?
Since I do normal difficulty for pretty much everything, I don't need perfect builds or anything, but I still like to be as efficient as possible. I've got eight characters, and I've got plans for all of them in terms of builds. My three Delta Recruits are all engineers on each faction, and I'd love to make a tank build on each. My Temporal Agent is science, and that's gonna be my next priority to make a full science build. My mains for each faction, including Gamma and Klingon recruits, are all tactical. Those are my favorite, since they're so much simpler to build with cannons or beams. My general skill tree isn't much different from yours, but one thing I'm wondering about is survivability. How useful is hull healing? Does it only affect boff abilities and such, or does it also affect traits like the one which heals with damage dealt? I tend to use the superior Miracle Worker ship trait for the same reason, and it occurs to me I might be wasting both.
If effects traits and consoles like the colony tac consoles that heal your, it also stacks with the 2 peace disco rep shield and core that gives a huge boost to regen.
@@MCStu I've been using the Fleet warp core and Competitive shields for a long time now, how does that compare to the Disco two-piece? I remember seeing some people switch over, but I never bothered to test it. Hull regen does seem quite nice.
@@ODST_Parker 2 pc Disco in you need help surviving or are tanking or running pure torp/kinetic build, Otherwise use the fleet core and Tilly/disco shield.
@@MCStu Okay, that makes sense. With the resources I have on my main, I've been trying to perfect a phaser cannon build as much as possible, so I'll try swapping to the Disco shield and see how that works. Maybe move a few points around in my skill tree too. Thanks for the information! A decade into this game, and I still learn new stuff all the time.
Curious to know which skills in the tree can affect sector space speed. My first character -- which I still play -- Klingon Science, wasn't very science until recently, but I used to finish the Tour the Galaxy with more than a minute to spare. After redoing my skill tree with a focus on science I can't even finish the Tour the Galaxy Beta Quadrant section. My sector speed is so slow. So I am wondering about how the skill tree items influence player speed (sector speed in my case.)
You know, I have been playing this game for a while now. I still can not get to one shotting the computer. I just got out of the Romulan Minefield and I saw a Science Officer, using a Fleet ship one shot an entire group of the second round of Romulan Minefield. I do not know how.
The trouble is on Xbox i have never done team things like tanking or any other mode as no one talks in party's unless you no them and they play the game but a lot of players seem to go it alone in TFOs so it would be good to have a build that gives you DPS and survivability .
I looked at your skill tree and I wouldn't go that way myself. The way I view it is as a glass cannon. I wouldn't even think of off tank with that. But if it works for you then am happy for you. I have a more balanced numbers in eng/sci/tac than that. Even DPS is more balanced. I have been known to skip admiral all together. Even counter-yolo and I have debated this but am more closer to his thinking than this. I know about the discussion on shields but disagree to a point is the dividing point between counter-yolo and me. I have thought about asking if to fly without shields and let me know how that works for him. But if it works for you then stick with it.
This is just how I run it, you do you and have fun, that is all that matters. The way I run it is not the only way or the "right" way just how I like to do things....

Defense absolutely does matter. In an escort/destroyer. The entire point of the tactical tree in my opinion. Defense rating is useless for cruisers through. At least that’s my experience.
Me, i absolutely suck at Science, so i have no charters in it. I love an engineer and then play her as Tactical in a tactical ship. I also like to have as high a hull as possible, while being able to do as much damage as i can. So you wont see me flying a ship with a lower base hull then 74. And my skill tree reflects that. No need for Shield points, because most enemy's take away your shields in seconds, (like the borg) so its a waste of points. I have the most fun if i fly trough a bunch of enemy's, their all firing at me, and don't do a fook of damage, while i kill them fairly easily. Having said that, I have no idea what a space Barbie is, and quite frankly, it sounds like a kids toy, and with me pushing 70-yo i am hardly a kid. TBH, this game is way to difficult for me, but i always get at the end, & hardly ever die. i just skip what i cant do, or don't like. So I will never be a high end player, and i don't want to be, chasing DPS seems like a waste of time to me, and takes away from having good & plain old fun. Remember fun ?... I do. If you are a beginner, as i once was, you have absolutely no idea whats possible, or smart to do, or even how to do it. I play for years, and i still only know about half of whats in the game, whats possible, or even if i do, i have no idea how to to it, or get it. The fun for me Is not in the end goal, its in the way toward it. Just remember that even if they sound nice and helpful.. Cryptic is NOT your friend. That's where you come in Mr MC Stu... I don't know you personally, but i consider you a friend, & players like me absolutely rely on the info you can, and do provide, because there is no manual for this game. So please, continue what you are doing. I realize not many people would say what i say, but why hide the truth ?... if thats making me a n00b, then so be it. I am subbed, even though it will do me no good, because i never get any posts from TH-cam one way or the other, and will also look into Patreon, or whatever its called, Because i need what you provide, in the way that you provide it. calm and clear. So thank you, MC Stu.
I hate to say this dude your build has no survivability and having most of your balance build is ineffective on elite I just tried it. The dps is bad, mine was better and didn't all those points in Tactical
It really depends on how your build and your play style. I used the tac configuration on my main DPS toon and was able to break 2M DPS in an ISE. But the skills really don't have a big effect on it, some but not a lot.
I run a rom Tactical with a balance of engineering, science and Tactical, so either your build is bad or sto needs to fix there bs on the Xbox series X and the other consoles, my Xbox series X is basically a high end PC, but I'm willing to bet it's STO'S bs.
Sorry brother I don't mean to rant on your TH-cam channel but enough is enough the government, company's and the people need to stand together united as one, and it seems I'm the only one who remembers what America stands for and everyone else has forgotten!!!
No joke! But I'll tell you what, if you need some love,laughter and happiness in your life, watch the orville season 3 episode 10 it'll change your life!!!
It's definitely STO I tweaked my build a bit more to my play style, which improved it by a lot, I was playing on elite difficulty on the patrol for strike at seedea and I'm killing these ships fast and start doing it to second wave halfway through I'm getting hit by enemy ship and there only firing on me nobody else and there tractor beems are 27.5 km's away from me, still trying to hold me, server starts lagging not my internet connection, my hull starts dropping miracle worker starts kicking in then 5 seconds later got to hit engineering team 3 that doesn't pop at all ,them I'm dead with 50 to 100 40,000 kinetic damage each, I say WTF STO No ship can survive that no matter the build and no enemy ships should be firing only kinetic damage and nothing else again WTF STO and no ships in a patrol should have over 500k hull... I'm in a Terran Lexington dreadnought cruiser, which is technically a Dreadnought warship cruiser if you accurately classify this ship which is one of the most powerful ships, if not the most powerfulest ships in STO! So how the F*** am I getting hammered like that anyways and my stats are as follows and they go up combat, AR 67.75 CH 42.9 CS 133.1 HULL 122,429 MSC 22,289 RES 33 TO 34 ACROSS THE BOARD. Elite fleet shields, Deflecter,Tilly's core golden out mkxv, 4 different weapon complete sets and 2 elite fleet weapons and a whole mess of epic and rep consoles again I say WTF STO!!!!
Don't you love when someone gives a Video Framed as a Genral advice Tute and as your watching the video you find out it's 30% Advice and 70% Personal Preferences. 😝
So sci build is a joke sorry to say it but you made a tac build with minimum sci wth lol no survival no sci skills it's all tac dude if you're going to make a sci build make a fricken sci build not a tac build and I bet you're using a tac officer as well ugh I can't even use this for notes.
You must have missed it, Sci toon on the sci build with no tac boff abilities only EPG and control, build does over 300K DPS in pug runs. I thing its working pretty good!
@@MCStu What I was trying to say is that all you guys do is tac toons with tac builds is all and a change would be nice to see like making a build for a sci toon or a eng toon so please don't get me wrong I think your builds are great. Just like to see something other than tac is all.
WOW WTF STO I just took this ship into the easiest TFO difficulty and on the event TFO at that, I was helping this guy kill his 3 or 4 waves of ships and then I go to the middle where I always defend and I'm killing these ships in less than 5 seconds and they keep coming and then out of the blue in 20 seconds drop my hull 3 times 100% to 26% and once to 14% WTF STO With my ship and my build and my load out I should never ever have to worry about dieing in the easiest TFOS WTF STO Are you people on drugs or something WTF!!!!!!
You have no idea how much i was waiting for this video, thanks a lot! compared to all other MMO's I've played STO is not as clear in terms of classes and 'talents/skills' and quiet overwhelming so this video is absolute gold to get a beginner going!
Glad I could help!
This Tree will help my TAC main, thanks Stu!
Glad to help!

I have a question about the defense skills. I notice they miss me more when I have a higher defense or am I wrong about what is causing them to miss?
You are correct, hit and miss is based on their accuracy rating vs your defense rating and vice versa.
I dropped the 2 tac skill for dps build which gives +2.5 armor and shield penetration. Just not worth the points. Put into hull and particle gen

This is just how I run it, you do you and have fun, that is all that matters. The way I run it is not the only way or the "right" way just how I like to do things....
@@MCStu Created this so you know what am talking about but not to change your mind. No, I not happy with the DSP on this run as I had to carry allot in Remaining Klingon TFO. At least six times in that run.

Since this video is a year old is it still relevant?
Yes, there has been no changes the effect the skill tree.
@@MCStu ok, tyvm for the prompt reply. I might be getting on your discord today.
Why Exotic for a tactical?
For the way I have my torp build and so is can do a full GPG build on this same toon.
Defense absolutely does matter. In an escort/destroyer. The entire point of the tactical tree in my opinion. Defense rating is useless for cruisers through. At least that’s my experience.
Me, i absolutely suck at Science, so i have no charters in it. I love an engineer and then play her as Tactical in a tactical ship. I also like to have as high a hull as possible, while being able to do as much damage as i can. So you wont see me flying a ship with a lower base hull then 74. And my skill tree reflects that. No need for Shield points, because most enemy's take away your shields in seconds, (like the borg) so its a waste of points. I have the most fun if i fly trough a bunch of enemy's, their all firing at me, and don't do a fook of damage, while i kill them fairly easily. Having said that, I have no idea what a space Barbie is, and quite frankly, it sounds like a kids toy, and with me pushing 70-yo i am hardly a kid. TBH, this game is way to difficult for me, but i always get at the end, & hardly ever die. i just skip what i cant do, or don't like. So I will never be a high end player, and i don't want to be, chasing DPS seems like a waste of time to me, and takes away from having good & plain old fun. Remember fun ?... I do. If you are a beginner, as i once was, you have absolutely no idea whats possible, or smart to do, or even how to do it. I play for years, and i still only know about half of whats in the game, whats possible, or even if i do, i have no idea how to to it, or get it. The fun for me Is not in the end goal, its in the way toward it. Just remember that even if they sound nice and helpful.. Cryptic is NOT your friend. That's where you come in Mr MC Stu... I don't know you personally, but i consider you a friend, & players like me absolutely rely on the info you can, and do provide, because there is no manual for this game. So please, continue what you are doing. I realize not many people would say what i say, but why hide the truth ?... if thats making me a n00b, then so be it. I am subbed, even though it will do me no good, because i never get any posts from TH-cam one way or the other, and will also look into Patreon, or whatever its called, Because i need what you provide, in the way that you provide it. calm and clear. So thank you, MC Stu.
I hate to say this dude your build has no survivability and having most of your balance build is ineffective on elite I just tried it. The dps is bad, mine was better and didn't all those points in Tactical
It really depends on how your build and your play style. I used the tac configuration on my main DPS toon and was able to break 2M DPS in an ISE. But the skills really don't have a big effect on it, some but not a lot.
I run a rom Tactical with a balance of engineering, science and Tactical, so either your build is bad or sto needs to fix there bs on the Xbox series X and the other consoles, my Xbox series X is basically a high end PC, but I'm willing to bet it's STO'S bs.
@@douglashalley9469 It IS STO bs, I'm running into the same problems from PC skill trees. Series X as well.
Sorry brother I don't mean to rant on your TH-cam channel but enough is enough the government, company's and the people need to stand together united as one, and it seems I'm the only one who remembers what America stands for and everyone else has forgotten!!!
All good sometimes you just gotta get it out!
No joke! But I'll tell you what, if you need some love,laughter and happiness in your life, watch the orville season 3 episode 10 it'll change your life!!!
It's definitely STO I tweaked my build a bit more to my play style, which improved it by a lot, I was playing on elite difficulty on the patrol for strike at seedea and I'm killing these ships fast and start doing it to second wave halfway through I'm getting hit by enemy ship and there only firing on me nobody else and there tractor beems are 27.5 km's away from me, still trying to hold me, server starts lagging not my internet connection, my hull starts dropping miracle worker starts kicking in then 5 seconds later got to hit engineering team 3 that doesn't pop at all ,them I'm dead with 50 to 100 40,000 kinetic damage each, I say WTF STO No ship can survive that no matter the build and no enemy ships should be firing only kinetic damage and nothing else again WTF STO and no ships in a patrol should have over 500k hull... I'm in a Terran Lexington dreadnought cruiser, which is technically a Dreadnought warship cruiser if you accurately classify this ship which is one of the most powerful ships, if not the most powerfulest ships in STO! So how the F*** am I getting hammered like that anyways and my stats are as follows and they go up combat, AR 67.75 CH 42.9 CS 133.1 HULL 122,429 MSC 22,289 RES 33 TO 34 ACROSS THE BOARD. Elite fleet shields, Deflecter,Tilly's core golden out mkxv, 4 different weapon complete sets and 2 elite fleet weapons and a whole mess of epic and rep consoles again I say WTF STO!!!!
So for tank... Resistance not futile? Hahaha
Correct
Don't you love when someone gives a Video Framed as a Genral advice Tute and as your watching the video you find out it's 30% Advice and 70% Personal Preferences. 😝
I found skill trees completely useless skill trees are like a broken pencil pointless they never improve the game
So sci build is a joke sorry to say it but you made a tac build with minimum sci wth lol no survival no sci skills it's all tac dude if you're going to make a sci build make a fricken sci build not a tac build and I bet you're using a tac officer as well ugh I can't even use this for notes.
You must have missed it, Sci toon on the sci build with no tac boff abilities only EPG and control, build does over 300K DPS in pug runs. I thing its working pretty good!
@@MCStu What I was trying to say is that all you guys do is tac toons with tac builds is all and a change would be nice to see like making a build for a sci toon or a eng toon so please don't get me wrong I think your builds are great. Just like to see something other than tac is all.
WOW WTF STO I just took this ship into the easiest TFO difficulty and on the event TFO at that, I was helping this guy kill his 3 or 4 waves of ships and then I go to the middle where I always defend and I'm killing these ships in less than 5 seconds and they keep coming and then out of the blue in 20 seconds drop my hull 3 times 100% to 26% and once to 14% WTF STO With my ship and my build and my load out I should never ever have to worry about dieing in the easiest TFOS WTF STO Are you people on drugs or something WTF!!!!!!
