  • Star Trek Online has a lot of useful free gear to offer that's useful for beginners, mid-range budget builds, and even some that's still good at endgame. For this video I'm going to go over episodes with gear you may want to use on you own build.

    Interesting thing to mention with the nauusican energy torpedo(or ANY energy torpedo in general) is that despite being an energy weapon that does energy damage, the mere fact this weapon is in torpedo form means that you can fire it while cloaked on any ship with an enhanced battle cloak. Couple with a DOFF build centered around torpedo reload speed and the Lukari Missile Launcher which has a 2.5 second reload, you can reload those weapons very rapidly or even chain fire them. Thanks to just DOFFs alone, I was able to fire the phaser torpedo 10 times in a row back to back to back before the second torpedo in the build even fired once.
    Also, energy torpedoes are buffed by energy consoles that buff the type of damage that torpedo does. so using just one energy type torpedo you can enhance its damage with the same consoles as what you use to enhance the beams and cannons(phaser relay, etc.) Also they are buffed by weapons that enhance energy damage and torpedo damage in general. Also there is the torpedo consoles that you get from the discovery reputation store and from the equipment boxes. They offer a higher torpedo base damage while also enhacing crit chance or hull capacity. Additionally there is one energy torpedo for each energy type. The Disruptor(Nauusican) and Polaron are quest rewards. Phaser and anti-proton are phoenix store havng been unlockable from events and also certain Z-store packs. The Plasma and Tetryon ones are in the lobi store. The plasma one, you have to be careful when looking for it. CHeck the info cards because there are multiple plasma torpedoes. The energy one will say it does X-Plasma damage the others will say it does X-Kinetic with X-DPS plasma burn.
    So, if you have the Lobi to buy the tetryon and plasma ones, and have access to the other 4 you can do a torpedo build that uses nothing but the 6 energy weapons that you can fire under cloak. Also these energy weapons do benefit from torpedo firing modes, with some having a heavy projectile when used with torpedo high yield.

    In the Solanae Dyson Sphere arc, in A Step between Stars, you can get a decent EVA suit. Now yeah, there are better for yourself but it is easy to get several suits out of this in one mission if you pass them on to your Boffs. And they look a lot better than the stock ugly suits. So good early Space Suits and an attractive and functional suit for your Boffs. Not getting one of each type will allow you to exchange those and Lobi to get the improves versions. Both have the same stats and your biggest choice is if you want white or black. Perhaps not as worth it anymore though.

    I would also add the Mission: Alliances from the Delta Quadrant episodes. The reward here is probably the best budget Science Bridge officer for Space combat, the Hierarchy officer or more affectionately known as, Mr. Potato Head. He has both the Pirate and Efficient traits. Well exceeded by SRO's, Watcher Boffs or even JH Vanguard Boffs but outside of these, probably the best you can get.
    Also, Blood of the ancients (Iconian Episodes) is where you get the Destabilized Resonance Beam training manuals for sci builds as well as some more more Budget disruptor gear.

    I put Martok's console on every ship I fly, and I use the 2pc Chronometric set (usually Console and Turret) on every J'H Vanguard ship since you need to run Polaron for the wingmen ability anyway. The 2pc Chronometric set is outstanding on the J'H Vanguard carrier in particular since it's a science carrier, has wingmen, and as a full carrier, aux power determines not just your exotic damage bit also your hangar relaunch time.
    As to the other, the Martok Config console may not offer anything crazy, but it's just a good meat-and-potatoes buff that literally every ship in the game can make use of. Very few console buff 5 stats at once and even fewer buff 4 or more where all 4 things they buff are useful on every ship. For example, 2 of the 4 mods on the Proton Particle Stabilizer are worthless for most builds, but a lot of people slot the console since they're already using the Gravimetric torp and the 2pc set bonus is pretty good. The Martok console doesn't have that problem and is worth slotting all by itself unless you have something definitively better - which you often do, but it's just a good default thing to slot any time you don't. I will acknowledge that it's considerably more useful on larger, slower ships where both the turn rate and hull capacity buffs have more effect, but having more engine power is good on those too.

    Thanks Stu. As a new player this experienced insight is most a welcome. Even that free T3 Constitution will be welcome since I've only just recently unlocked the Reputation system which requires ships to complete various missions(unless I've confused that with some other newly unlocked side-quest option) so any additional ship is very welcome at this stage.
    Not sure if this is good advice(since noob) but the very last Borg episode mission was very useful for me as a new player.
    It's a "Space only" mission which is nice for those that don't particularly love grindy ground missions, it's incredibly quick to complete(I think 5-8 minutes once understood) and the rinse and repeat reward options are Antiproton ship weapons which are pretty useful and for some reason ridiculously expensive from traders so even if you get fed up with them can always sell them for what appears to be 250-300K energy credits each(so can then buy something of a different flavour).
    Also, the Borg ships that a player will do combat with are not very difficult to destroy, a player will have an entire fleet of friendlies assisting them, and those Borg ships have some excellent mixed drop items.
    It's a great mission to very quickly flesh out a ship with high-end Antiproton weapons along with lots of excellent drop items from destroyed Borg ships. What a player doesn't want can be sold and that credits can be used to buy the Antiproton consoles from traders which are significantly cheaper than the Antiproton weapons.

    From what I understand, Temporal Ambassador is now a way to get 2 free ships (At leas if you have Cross-Faction unlocked) with the second run letting you get and use the other ship. Unfortunately, neither Ambassador nor Kamarag class ships are, currently ones that are very useful as more than admiralty cards and occasionally breaking out low tier just to fly around...nothing really scaled for it.
    Also, there is the Jem'Hadar ground set from Lost Dominion...it's a pretty good option for a budget build, and even later it's rather good for a Boff (Such as the Jem'Hadar one you get in the same set of missions.
    As a side note, with the Knife, on thing it can be very good with for assault wielders who are using the Sompek one from the Phoenix box (Decent weapon to get with phoenix tokens anyway because it's a reclaim unlock for all of your characters along with the Shield and Gloves so you can use the set...the rifle isn't an unlock, which needs to be changed there).

Obviously they are worse than Lukari/Kentari/Rom Ops, but on a budget they outshine most random drops.

    Since "Scylla and Charybdis" is a bit obnoxious to play through a good alternative to Bajor Defense might be the Quantum Phase Applications set from the episode "Stormbound" which is easy enough to pick up all three pieces in about an hour, even with a low level character. The bonuses are rather generic overall and the 3-piece ability is pretty bad but the set should not be overlooked, especially if running a science ship. It is, sadly, lacking a Warp Core but, for budget players, Bajor Defense might as well be lacking one itself so that isn't a huge issue.

    For budget Disruptor builds, I'm going to suggest the Resonant Presever set from Blood of the Ancients. It has both cannon and beam array option and the torp has a decent AoE proc. The 3-piece is good for those budget Tanks out there, granting Weapon Cycle Haste from incoming attacks.
    Combining this set with Entoiled Tech and the House Martok 2-piece is the foundation for a very successful budget Disruptor build. It's also the one instance where I would slot a rear facing torp.
    Works great with the Bajoran space set, though for Tanking I'd lean more towards the Bajoran 2-piece (impulse/core) and Kobali 2-piece (shield/deflector). Once you get into Fleet and Rep gear, I'd switch over to Stamets-Tilly 3-piece and Colony Proto-matter Deflector.
    I'm also going to add that, after Skirmish, do the Alhena system patrol/mission to unlock the Deuterium Surplus batteries. You will be right there and Deuterium Surplus will grant a nice burdt speed to make up for the lack of Competitive engines. Tanks gotta stay with the group or they're going to be less effective at their job.

    Great suggestions here I'd also like to add the sol desperate defences set from the last episode of the iconian war. With 2 pieces it gives +35 kinetic And +25 energy resistance and the 3 piece adds on the discharge nanites ability that heals you and allies ships around from 3km away. I used this set for really long time on my sovereign and defiant classes and varients. it's Just a great all-round set for survivability that almost any build can benefit From especially in TFOs and the story missions.

    Rom Navy set has great health Regen on top of the crit+ and plasma boosting. I use it on one of my senior captains: kit+armor from Rom Navy and shld+weapon from Nakul.
    Also, I always use aiming and crouching. You get dmg buff from aiming and crit buff from crouching. I also do this on my science ground even though I am not firing a weapon. The crouch +crit from Rom Navy applies to everything.

      I always forget about it because I never use it. It's okay when you're still leveling, but once you get access to reputation gear you want move on from it pretty quick. The Disruptor's proc is just a 2.5% chance for a small physical damage AoE with a small damage res debuff. The console buffs disruptor damage, so it's okay for a budget gear, but you'll want to ditch that for fleet gear asap. And the Transphasic torps is... well, it's a Transphasic torp, they've always sucked in STO, and this one just as the same proc as the Disruptor. The 2-piece is okay, but underwhelming. The 3-piece is decent, but it's not enough to make me want to use the three individual beyond the leveling stage of the game.

      Love the Kobali set, but then I also have the Samsar so I can use the entire set. Being that the Samsar is so hard to get these days and Stamets-Tilly isn't, the Kobali set is second fiddle. Since new players can only get the 3-piece, I would also suggest that the Sol Defense is a good free tanky option.
      Kobali set comes from "Dust to Dust" in the Delta arc. Warp/Singularity Core comes from the Samsar Cruiser which is an Epic Phoenix token. Also, the ship isn't that great so wouldn't be my first choice.
      Sol Defense comes from "Midnight" in the Iconian arc. Lacks a Core, so you only have to worry about grinding out the Midnight mission a few times. Which is strange, as Warp Cores were already an established thing by the time the Iconian arc came out.
