Warp core question

[BigBob357]

Hello again 7th!

So I was trying to plan ahead in terms of what goodies to go after for my build (http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=scphantom_10873), and I started looking at potentially getting a fleet warp core once I'm able to purchase them. Right now I have the Obelisk for the 2-piece bonus. So I guess my question is should I keep this set-up, or go ahead and spring for the fleet WC when I have permission? Or something else?

Thanks in advance,

SC

 I would advise getting a Fleet Warp Core..the Elite Fleet Hyper Charged one is a favorite.  The omni-beams are neat and I've seen a few successful builds that use them, but in an escort you will gain significant burst dps with cannons and turrets over beams.  If you'd like I can help you build something like that or if you like the setup you have now...stick with that.

Thanks for the advice. At some point I would like to switch to cannons, but atm I'm more comfortable (with my piloting skills) with beam arrays. I've been experimenting with DBBs but I need more time before I'm really comfortable with the tighter firing arc.
