| + | Power Levels are very important to having a fun and powerful build. It needs its own page so we can share our notes | ||
| + | ====== Weapon Power ====== | ||
| + | ===== Initial firing ===== | ||
| + | The weapon damage rating you see when you buy a weapon is set from 50 weapon power. 125 power allows the maximum hit obtainable from a weapon not including critical hits. | ||
| + | ===== Drain ===== | ||
| + | * As multiple energy weapons are fired, weapon power drain lowers total damage possible, because not all the weapons can be fired at 125 power setting | ||
| + | * Some energy weapons spend more time in cool down than others making them more efficient for multiple weapon firing | ||
| + | Dual Heavy Cannons appear to be the most efficient multi-firing even though they drain -12 power | ||
| + | however they fire less per round so weapons proc chance will be effected | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If running only one energy weapon such as a shuttle, a power setting above 125 is a waste of energy | ||
| + | * Multiple energy weapon power above 125 (overcap) is not a waste because it can help offset some of the weapon drain using power transfer rate | ||
| + | This makes emergency power to weapons very popular | ||
| + | Also, this makes it ok to run less ranks in sharship weapon performance instead of 9 | ||
| + | (only 2 power difference between rank 6 and 9) | ||
| + | |||
| + | * EPS flow Regulators do not help like they once did many seasons ago. They are now limited to only helping power transfer from one system to another | ||
| + | * Engineer captains have abilities to reduce the effects of weapon drain | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use these before Fire at will for greater affect | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ====== Shield Power ====== | ||
| + | This is your main defense from weapon fire | ||
| + | * increases shield regeneration | ||
| + | * increases hardness (shield resist) up to 30% at 125 power | ||
| + | |||
| + | Consider a W->S warp core to help with this | ||
| + | ====== Engine Power ====== | ||
| + | * Top speed | ||
| + | * Manuvering | ||
| + | ====== Auxiliary Power ====== | ||
| + | * Sci powers using the deflector dish | ||
| + | |||
| + | High levels roughly double your heals from auxiliary power to structural integrity field, hazard emitters, | ||
| + | transfer shield strength, gravity well damage | ||
| + | activate aux batteries just before using sci powers | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Decreases hanger launch times | ||
| + | * Increases effectiveness of cloak (range of detection) | ||
| + | * Increases sensor ability to detect cloak (range of detection) | ||
| + | * Nukara Reputation Tier 4 offensive: adds some aux power to weapon skills | ||
| + | * Nukara Reputation Tier 4 defensive: adds some aux power to hull and shield related skills | ||
| + | * Vesta ship can equip auxiliary powered cannons | ||
| + | ====== Weapon Presets ====== | ||
| + | The 4 power presets can be improved upon | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click window style 3 for power level UI. This gives the option to change power with sliders and to | ||
| + | save the changes for each of the four presets | ||
