- In this video I go over some of the fleet gear I use for my DPS builds in Star Trek Online. Fleets are a great resource with any benefits such as access to space and ground gear, Boffs, Buffs and much more... We will be looking at just a select few in this video.

Your welcome.
Much obliged
Thank you for saving me 40 minutes
Vulnerability Locators from your Fleet Spire are the first thing I'd recommend to a new Fleet member.
Thank you.
The discount that you're getting for the Dilithium cost of fleet items is because of your Fleet Dilithium Mine, once your Fleet Dilithium Mine is at a certain level you unlock a fleet discount on the Dilithium costs of all fleet items. The Fed fleet that I'm in has that discount unlocked, but the KDF fleet that I'm in doesn't, but we are working on that, when the Fleet Dilithium Mine first started and we read about that discount the Fleet Dilithium Mine became our first prioirty to max out, not only does it have a dilithium discount for buying fleet consoles and equipment it also gives a discount for the dilthium required for fleet projects, so the Fleet Dilithium Mine really should be a top priority of maxing out, you'll save a lot of dilithium personally and for your fleet as a whole.
I may have missed it, but I don't think you mentioned Fleet Credit Bonus Pool voucher which drop from lock boxes. You can pick them up from the exchange for around 600K-800K EC for the 25K or 35K version. This helps you get some extra Fleet Creds (20% bonus until pool is exhausted) when you're contributing to fleet projects. Very useful when you're trying to kit out a new character quickly.
Thank you very much for this video. This is helpful for those of us that are coming back to the game after time away, and could use a refresher on how to get to the fleet areas, what each area is helpful for, etc.
Exactly his entire channel doing that for me rn we should make a fleet of his followers
@22:35: That Discount is from the Dilithium Mine Fleet Holding.
Thanks Stu, your video comes at a good time for me, I finally got in a really good fleet. Now I know what to look for. 👍
For some reason I completely forgot about the stuff in the fleet spire. These videos are great, thanks.
this guy never misses another spot on valuable video thank you!
For new players who are looking for functional good equipment from their fleet, but certainly not the min max best, I'll add a few suggestions
As far as I know the elite weapons you can buy at the fleet are still bugged. Stick with the advanced ones.
If you need to add turn rate the fleet dil mine holding sells multi purpose consoles that will give you the turn rate and something else, such as damage resistance, those are worth getting to replace generic consoles - get the Mk X ones and upgrade them to save dil and fleet credits
If you want to do a science build, such as control or drain focused builds, then the research lab has some very powerful consoles to buff the skills that influence your science abilities - plus it's one of the few places to pick up a good secondary deflector
The K-13 holding has a energy transfer rate with armor penetration console that is also useful to budget minded pure energy weapon builds if you find your weapon power gets drained down to nothing quickly in a fight - doesn't matter how great your gear is if it isn't getting any power
Remember console buffs do not stack directly - you will get diminishing returns for each additional console with the same type of buff. Also not all buffs that are described the same are equal - you might have two consoles giving you what looks like the same buff to damage or whatever, but one is buffing base damage and one is buffing final damage. The point is the descriptions are sometimes inaccurate and frequently incomplete. This is why people test consoles, and other gear, and post the results to determine what they really do. It's also why you may run across equipment that looks wonderful but everyone will tell you it is garbage.
I'd recommend the Bellum RCS consoles from the Discovery reputation over the fleet mine consoles, just because CritH is more valuable than anything the fleet consoles offer.
I really do hope this is not the last star trek game they ever make i enjoy it and I have been playing a couple years now . Its come a long way since the beginning .
Thanks for the heads up on the Energetic Protomatter Matrix Infuser. Made my less geared out Alts much less squishy. Might consider a second for one or two and definitely as priority gear if I am inspired by a ship enough to make a new Alt.
I am still using the Plasma-Integrated Fleet Spire Core. It only gives -10% to weapon power cost but it also gives a nice boost to EPS which helps with subsystem power recovery rate if I'm not mistaken (or if it hasn't been nerfed).
Also, Fleet gear is usually much less demanding in terms of upgrades as opposed to Rep gear. In light of the recent Phoenix upgrade nerf, that is a real thingnto consider.
Thank you for the videos. I don't play on the computer I do on the Xbox in your videos definitely help me.
Hi MC Stu, I found your video extremely helpful and I’m also apart of Priority 1 Fleet but it’s on the PS4 version of the game.
I was stuck for like an hour on the KDF fleet starbase. With the stupid bug you can't get the prompt to pop up unless you're standing like an inch away from the transporter officer in a certain spot. It hasn't been fixed as of earlier this year when the Klingon recruitment was going on.
I've been there
@@MCStu On the KDF starbase, don't approach the transporter operator directly. Walk toward one of the ramps to either side of them. The sweet spot to make the talk button appear is much wider at the ramps.
The bug is still there LOL
@@ross8884 It really seems like something important that should be fixed.....but well it's Cryptic....
Any f2p weapon suggestions for my odessy tactical cruiser
Thats good to know, I thought they took from my provisions when I give fleet map invites, so thanks for that Stu
Great video!!!
Great vid I'm trying to learn everything I can
The Spire core used to be the best because of the Spire bonus (don't remember what it was...Eff maybe? Can't remember). When they changed how eps worked (or something tangential to that, not sure on the specifics), the Spire core became just ok, down from BIS.
I have been playing since 2014, but only very casually. Only in the past year and a half (since Shadowlands came out and ruined an already ailing WoW) have I been playing regular, but I remember that's what was so desirable about the Spire core.
As a matter of fact, I STILL have a couple toons with a gilded RCS[EPS] that I really should go and change those out for another Crit/Severity or haste console...
Your video popped up on auto-play running in the background I heard you talk about the discount of fleet gear costs and that it's been like that for awhile. The discount is due to your holding being upgraded to a fixed point which unlocks discounts for gear for that holding, which are permanent.
Another great video...thank you. How does fleet dilitham vouchers work?
A late addition, but for the Klingon Fleet Base transporter bug, don't dance around the transporter pad. Instead, just walk up to the transporter officer and you can transport from there.
This video was great; I would appreciate a video on the different types of damage bonuses but it seems pretty confusing.
Do you mean the difference between Cat1 and Cat2 bonuses or are you looking for a list of all the different ways to improve DPS?
This is gonna very helpful
Iv not watched the vid yet cuz I want to fully have time
But if you don’t have a fleet that has the gear is there anything that substitute them till you can
I like to be in a fleet that isn't maxxed out. Gives room to interact a bit more. My primary toon is a level 70 fleet but main is still in Level 4, plus I throw in for things that are just cool. Like I added the aquarium at the colony. I mostly got more active in my fleet because they have a cool patch. I ranked up 6 of 7 for my activity level. I have access to just about all the functions, but I leave a lot of things to be left to the the original admirals to set. My biggest change was changing the titles of ranking, though it all still breaks down to 7 ranks no matter what you call them. I try to toss in any extras to the bank, and tosses of DIL along with the less valuables. I opened a bank account to deposit items when I hit a nice win on a box or whatever like that, share the luck. Chillax fleet overall too. Great place for noobs, loners, returners. (Star Fleet Corps of Discovery)
Gzzz...I play this game for so long and never knew about the bridge officer vender at the colony...hahahha thxs!!!!!
I tend to use rep except for consoles and 2nd Deflector. I not really checked out colony gear, and looks like I should maybe replace a couple spire consoles my more fragile builds, so thanks for that.
25:15 "So if you're having trouble getting off, it's generally going to be a clicky button down here"
The argument:. That meta dates back to when AMP was king.
Hi mate, I'm making a phaser beam overload build. I watched an augmented dictator video and he says to use locators while you are saying exploiters are best. I'm sure you are both right for different reasons, could you explain please.
For some reason I can’t purchase anything in the Spire, even with tier 3 or smth, help pls
Dude, that costume rocks! Diggin' it...
Is that the Zhat Vash helmet?
Yes it is
Thanks, Stew!
Mmm stewww
I'll experiment on my egnering toon with that core on xbox so terren beam and Warp core thumbs up
What uniform is that? I'm new on STO
So a couple things. Firstly, until this video I never knew of the spire lol. Or at least never knew it was a place you could go. One thing I did notice is the tacticals you can buy there you can actually get from doing your daily reps. Working on a disruptor build and have all beam tactical except for 1 torpedo, which I always put on every ship. Secondly, I just found out last night watching this that cannons are beam weapons. Yes it seems silly but I always figured there were beam, cannons and projectiles. Reason is Fire at will...Beam. Scatter Volley....Cannon. Which begs the question, why are cannons not effected by Fire at will? Or is it just a simple thing as they are separated by the skill? Only been playing since January so still learning and daily reminded that STO is layers upon layers of information. Overwhelming at times. Enjoyed watching the live stream last night :)
You are close, beams and cannons are both classified as energy weapons. I had the same confusion as well.
The skills are setup to have a single-target and AoE versions for beams, cannon, and projectiles (Beam Overload and Fire At Will for beam arrays, Rapid Fire and Scatter Volley for single and dual cannon, High Yield and Torp Spread for torpedoes).
the sale or discount you receive when buying fleet gear is related to that fleets position in the armada. pretty sure fleets not in an armada receive no discount
The plasma integrated warp core from the Spire is still viable for Beam Overload builds thanks to the power management.
You have to choose the proper one, though. Not all Plasma-Integrated Spire cores buff EPS.
💚
I'm gunna grind the hell out of it tonight. I'm excited to see my damage increase I might convince the wife to grind with me
I still use the Spire Warp Cores because I like them and I do fun builds. That and my endeavors are at 480. So I can already slaughter most enemies.
The weapon power cost reduction is useful for Beam Overload builds, too, and those have become much more common over the last 2 years.
Endeavours are good! ;)
As far as I now the difference between +damage and + Bonus damage is that in the damage formula all +damage percentages are added and then multiplied with the sum of all + Bonus damage increases. That means that you have to have a good mixture of both increases, but the fact that you're getting +damage far more easily leads to + Bonus damage being considered more valuable than + damage.
An example calculation [Attention Maths]:
I calculate with those base values: +150% damage and +10% bonus damage Overall damage increase: 2.5*1.1=2.75 You get 175% extra damage.
Example 1: You add a +20% damage modifier. (+170% damage, +10% bonus damage) Overall damage increase: 2.7*1.1=2.79 You get 179% extra damage
Example 2: You add a +20% bonus damage modifier. (+150% damage, + 30% bonus damge) Overall damage increase: 2.5*1.3=3.25 You get 225% damage increase.
[Ingame there are more factors (like weapon power setting, final multipliers...)]
My knowledge about this is not very good so PLEASE correct me if I made a mistake or pointed out something wrong!
Usually, the +Damage (like from Tac consoles) is Cat-1 which means it's a straight add-on to the weapon's base damage BEFORE buffs, not counting in stuff like Weapon power above 100, Attack Pattern Alpha and critical hits. It sounds like a lot, but it actually isn't because the buffs themselves work so intensely that they constantly outperform the actual base damage by a huge multiplier.
The +Bonus Damage is a Cat-2 which means it is applied/calculated INCLUDING buffs. And that's a whole different animal. Crit Chance and Crit Severity are also Cat-2, as are most set boni from reputation gear (usually weapon and console).
It's pretty much like putting a turn rate console for +40% on a big fat ship like the Galaxy, D'Deridex or Oddy. +40 sounds HUGE but: almost nothing multiplied with 1.4 remains almost nothing 🤷🏼♂️
@@svenschwingel8632 Sadly your information is incorrect. As I stated above all cat1 gets summed up and is multiplied with the sum of all cat2 modifiers. As cat2 is more rare in this game, it has a greater impact on the result due to category saturation (or the perimeter - area maximizing problem if you wish so)
I just wish there were more ship interiors or that your ship just had an interior
I’m using the kelvin dreadnought, could one use two tac locator for phaser and two for beams? I’m running all phaser beams except for one torpedo and one borg kinetic.
You will get way more out of using all phaser bosting consoles. I would go all fleet tac phaser consoles.
@@MCStu thank you so much!
So similar to wow, what do you do when your fleet has died? I think my friend and i are all that get on...
Easiest thing to do would be to go to another fleet
i really like the micealial warp core. its from disco rep
dprm best console.
Hefty expense though, around 200 to 250 mil ec at the moment.
what engines and shields are you using?
Tilly shield and Competitive rep engine.
This all seems incredibly complicated
It is, but its fun once you rap your head around it
Fleet dilithium mine is giving you the sale, maxed out it is 15%
The mine or armada discount ?
@@thecyberchefutube The Mine. Although i would have to check for max discount now.
Hey Priority One shot out!
Ye
man just show me where the good parts are.
man that was rude good job explaining the things ill be back when i forget it all.
How come you don't have the 2 piece alliance weaponry?
it only gives +33% cat 1 damage boost and the 2nd console you need is not worth the boost.
What are the “cat” dmg?
I will have to vide out on this next week.
why cant i buy from that store you were in?
First make sure you have the appropriate rank in the fleet as gives you permission to buy from fleet venders.
You really don't want Locators, Exploiters are the go to Console. Been playing this game since day one. Trust me!!
Alright the only question 🙋♂️ I have is why someone would hit thumbs down.
science ship or officer
Fleets for me have been nothing but a headache. Maybe I'll find a good one eventually.
If you just want to chill and be able to buy what you need hmu. Played since launch and my buddy and I play every day.
Hi
Can you do build reviews
What kind of build, I generally not do particular ship but classes as many are very similar in practice.
@@MCStu whatever you like, I think you have a great channel and since timberwolf is gone maybe you can take it over. Most STO channels suck
@@christopherflynn6743 I will work on some builds. Also I would recommend checking out @AugmentedDictatorGames channel, builds are high end but very good. th-cam.com/users/Darkspeaker
@@MCStu I will check it now
@@MCStu ohh yeah I watch his but he isn't as detailed and doesn't really cover things as well
The provisions thing is the worst
I am not in a fleet ,I don't need or have use of these ,I'll just stay with whatever I find . I hate fleet drama and dealing with people ingame or in real life, I have been on sto since day 1 of the games release and I hate fleets . P.s
No idea why TH-cam brought me here.
this is a copy litteraly of a person that I thought you two were at least respectful of each other. in fact i found your channle because of a link on his video.
...umm
To convert looted it's stupid feels over done
Well, I have to disagree with you here. You can get as good and in some cases better parts from missions or if you want rep gear. The fleet gear doesn't add very much any more. Maybe it's because of the ones am in. Most are locked down tight where you have to have around 250,000-500,00 to get anything from them. But even looking at the gear in an old establish fleet I wanted to be in on one toon; it just doesn't really add that many stats to make a difference. The only thing I have brought from a fleeting is cores and secondary deflectors. On two toons, am in a long wait for fleet ships. It would be less trouble to buy them but one of the is part of a three ship set if you go to the C store. Don't really want the others but just the one ; B'rel Bird-of-Prey. The main science toon as I have two of them it's a toss up. Fleet Titan Science destroyer (because it has four weapon slots on the front) or Lukari Ho'kuun Science Vessel ( Shield modifier of 1.42 ). But both of those fleets are very tight. Not that I might not be as well, but not that tight. As I tried yesterday to just get an additional R&D slot so I could get from 13 - 15 on all of them and couldn't. But yes, it's just one checkbox allow purchase or not. Not only that but I see no purpose in a fleet as there is no end game per se. It's the same ole TFOs and other fleet actions where people join together for it; but really do what they want. So, there really isn't a tanking role as everyone is doing their own thing.
Back to the bob's and bits from fleet. I think I voiced my displeasure at the limits of the game. One the bob's and bits, the status in rep and some mission gear is better or just as good as the fleet in most cases. Really the secondary deflector I could build myself and adjust the settings some of the stats then I wouldn't have to deal with fleets with their hands out all of the time. I guess it would be different if the fleet equipment would be better than what you could get from missions and rep. And I would be more in favour of it if the fleet did something other than sit there with their hands out where they had equipment better than mission or rep. IE, once a week performing one of the end arc battles. Minus whatever key characters are cfor the mission arc; all of the other ships would be from that fleet. Thus working together to archive a goal. The interface would have to be re-written, you would have to determine how many ships the game server would be able to support, etc. And completion of these missions you would get fleet credit in a different form to get gear that you can't get anywhere else. Then it would be worth it. But the present fleet gear is marginal at best and the numbers aren't likely going to be a factor most of the time.
I agree this some of this, although the fleet tac consoles and colony deflector for DPS builds are must have and there is no think better. For tac consoles I would use a combo of rep gear and for polaron would probably use the Morph set..... So there are some exception but would still have fleet gear mixed in.
12:30 when communism hits
LOL
I tried i really tried to appreciate the amount of information your giving but shit man. If i'm looking for top DPS consoles maybe just fucking maybe i don't need an explainer on what a fleet is or the icons of the shops or some information on a tank build console.
Nope
