okay so you put all your power into either shields but mostly engines so you can run away quickly.. it seems like you have all eps transfer consoles for your engineering slots, so your armor isn't that great. Not all the feds are attacking you either. I don't know what you are trying to accomplish other than running a distraction for your non existent teammates :) Careful when the feds learn to transfer power to engines and use eps consoles too ;)
@politico439 By the end of the match there were 11 Fed players against me, and only me. In a BoP (with the setup I had) I didn't have enough firepower to really kill/threaten any of the Feds. Rather than just resign myself to the inevitable loss, I practiced hit-and-run attacks.
@politico439 The purpose of this ship's setup and playstyle was just as you said "running a distraction for your...teamates". It excelled at that. I have no idea about the current metagame in STO right now (since I quit sometime ago), but at this time ships with a very high speed had a good chance of dodging incoming attacks altogether. And while I probably wasn't the first person to figure this out, I was among the first, and this ship served as a proof-of-concept.
