Notes

Teryh's skill tree is similar in many aspects but lacks a few features compared to my engineering captains. Because tactical captains get no inherent power management, I've taken points to buff up weapon power. I've also skipped Drain Expertise, mostly because its of no important, and the other being there isn't any case for me to use Drain Scaling powers on her. There is often a case to use Energy Siphon but it doesn't normally find room in bridge officer layouts to make it worthwhile enough to spec into DrainX when the points could instead be spent on EPG or power.

27 vs 26 Point Tactical ultimate

There is some comments floating around about people moving back to the 27 points in the tactical branch for the cooldown reduction on Focused Frenzy. I maintain that this is a negligible effect and and good build should already have and maintain proper cooldown reduction chaining. Therefore the cooldown reduction from Focused Frenzy should be redundant and therefore ignored. Unless you can maintain Frenzy the entire run (in which case all members have agreed to specifically build conditions and timings before hand) this point is wasted in the sense that the extra unlock will at most times be of unimportance, Therefore 1 point can be moved for utility to Science or Engineering .

Hull Restoration vs Hull Capacity

Once again I took a point in hull restoration. While the same argument as in Jayiie's skill tree doesn't quite hold up, as a tactical captain there is a distinct lack of healing innately available to her. As such taking that last point does help in scaling healing things up.

Shield Regeneration

While Teryhs primary goal isn't to tank, this last point in science does get her to the next unlock for +10% max shield capacity. While not a massively important stat, shield regeneration is statically anomaly and adds a huge amount to shield regen in just the first point (more Information on shields can be found here). As such, I have taken the single point. If you want to take the final point of EPG or something else such as power or hull capacity feel free too do so.

Starship Weapons

Notes

Relatively new, the Radiolytic weapons provide a passive effect where if the target is under 25% the weapon deals additionally damage. Further reading can be found here. Some replacements:

• Pulsed Phaser Weapons have a proc which reduces target DRR by 10 and increases self DRR by 10

• Advanced Phaser weapons come only in single beam varients but these can be adapted to other builds and are more forgiving to use in a piloting aspect.

• Covert Phasers can help reduce threat output

• Agony Phasers can apply a dot, which can help trigger atrophied defenses from temporal for support builds (or just builds running temporal)

I've continued to elect not to run the Discovery Phaser Wide Angle Dual Heavy Beam Bank and take the 2pc, however this is a viable option if you wanted to save on another lockbox weapon.

Experimental Weapon

The Hexa Cannons are now the best in slot for any phaser build that calls for an experimental weapona, contributing a massive 184k, good piloting and uptime (since this is conal, 45 fore arc) means that this cranks out some damage. Replace with what you have avalible, but since this is now from the C-store it's pretty easy to aquire.

Meta-Focused Tweaks:

A Good Day to Die is a tactical captain only trait, and therefore needs replacement for other professions. Easiest choice here would be EPS Manifold Efficiency for damage or Grace Under Fire for durability for Engineering Captains. Science captains have no direct path of upgrade innately, therefore I would suggest something like Adaptive Offense, Pseudo-Submission, or anything else of your choice.

Budget Tweaks:

For budget players who want to save some EC, there's a few standard traits that could be used:

• Bulkhead Technician - Innate trait - this provides +10% Maximum Hull capacity and can be used as a stand in for durability consoles

• Living Hull - Episode Reward from "Surface Tension" - +15% hull regen in combat is equivalent to 3 stacks of repair crews

• Redacted Armor Plating - Episode Reward from “The Renegade's Regret” - +30 all DRR when hit from behind or sides

• Regenerative Control Synergy - Episode Reward from “Of Signs and Portents” - Grants +45% hull regen when using a control power for 10 seconds

If your after more damage instead of durability:

• Point Blank Shot - Episode Reward from House Pegh - scaling damage based on distance to target from 2km to 6km.

• Operative - Innate Trait - +1% CrtH +2% CrtD, this isn't spectacular but if you lack any offensive traits you can use it.

Meta-Focused Tweaks:

Obviously making the ship T6x and adding more traits. These can be a multitude of things, but some easy choices are traits like Strike from Shadows and Heart of Sol.

Budget Tweaks:

Defensive Traits:

• The Best Defense - +25% Healing when using APB, APO, and APD - not hugely relevant on a build which heals via regen or incoming classes healing (protomatter consoles) but its free from the episode "House Pegh".

• Going the Extra Mile - +Hull cap and +healing - free from completing Miracle Worker Specialization

Miscellaneous

Any ship with a Commander Temporal seat and a Lt.C tactical seat will work for this build. Some good choices include:

• World Razer Temporal Ops Juggernaut, The better platform, I recommend seeing EPHs build for what a higher budget BO build is capable of.

• Constitution Temporal Light Cruiser - Trades intel for Command, but otherwise very capable of porting the build over.

• Legendary Constitution Temporal Flight Deck Carrier - Would take some weirding boff seating and some force but definitely can be done

• D7 Temporal Battlecruiser - very similar ship, also maintains the intel secondary and Lt.C Tac seat.

• Terran Acheron Dreadnought Carrier - Gains two hangar bays which can lead to some firing mode shenanigan's.

• Typhoon Temporal Battlecruiser -  A newcommer to the game as an event ship just a month before this build releases, this is a very adaquate platform.
