Star Trek Online....

Another few days of duty officer missions as well as an actual mission or two for my engineering character has seen him level up to 34. I also decided to spend about 5 million energy credits to buy a build from the exchange (market/auction house). Nothing too expensive or fancy but it allowed me to remove the standard white ship fit modules and put on level VII purples. All with no grind involved.

If I were to go into detail on the stats on each piece I'm sure there would be many an STO fan that actually know what they're doing to shed a tear for the build.


My phaser build of shame:

It works and works well for his level so that's all the really matters for me. I'm no tank. I guess with levelling up I'm in more of a tactical character mode.

Once he hits level 40 he will unlock the last "free" ship from the levelling process. Once he gets to 45/50 I'll be in a position to start opening up the free/reward ships from previous character event rewards/grinds. That will be a whole new ball game of proper ship/fit research.

Worth looking up on that subject are the following youtubers:
