Greetings!
A lot of people have questions about ship builds and don't know where to turn for information. Damage per second or DPS relies on equipment and piloting skills, with piloting being the more important of the two. To provide resources so that our members can obtain the information they desire, I give the following references:
The DPS League STO Better Cat 1 and Cat 2 Damage Types
Torpedo Builds MC Stu Videos Augmented Dictator Videos
Casual SAB Videos Stu 1701 Ground Combat Ambush Meta (Time Device Nerfed)
Ground Build 101 Kit Performance Skill Tree 1 Skill Tree 2 Skill Tree 3
Abbreviations 1 Abbreviations 2 Abbreviations 3
Cannon Piloting Weapon Firing Mode Analysis Best CSV Platforms
Pilot Guides Combat Log Reader STO Combat Meter
Starship Specializations Guide
Note 1: Categories with multiple listings carry varied information
Note 2: Categories for multiple types exist because of differing takes on the subject
Note 3: Many objects/Duty Officers/Traits are EXPENSIVE. But there are also guides for budget players included above
Note 4: Many things are given away free for completing the missions and these items have set bonuses that are advantageous to new and experienced players alike. DON'T overlook them
Note 5: Combat Log Reader (CLR) and STO Combat Reader are included to test your builds in ISA Just use the one you like
Note 6: The videos by named individuals are from STO players who do over 1 million DPS
I hope that you find what you are looking for on this list and have fun!
