- In this video i go over my elite heavy tank, i talk over how the build works and where everything comes from, also how this build is over tanked from almost everything in star trek online but that was the aim of this build.

Very nice breakdown, thanks Nic!
The shield absorptive frequency generator console also comes in the T3 Valdore, 65k Dil
Do u need a rom character to unlock it?
@@arnemurraymeyer you dont
I really enjoy Reverberant Shielding on tanking from the Sagan Command cruiser as well. Nice build!
I had no idea the adaptive console was effected by uncon while it was active. Great video Nic!
Glad to help, kinda why i want to make some of these videos. There is just so much in this game for one person to figure out, we gotta help each other out.
This Channel content shall spread like a wildfire
What's fun is making a ship that was very much NOT supposed to tank into one. I started up a captain a week ago and was going to make her a healer (knowing the folly of that), and shifted her into drain tanking in, of all things, a Lukari Dranuur Scout Ship using Chronometric Inversion Field rather than Suppression Barrage. The build isn't complete but she holds her own in Elite Random queues.
It would be good to see and some runs with this build.
Excellent vid, something to add to my list of builds I want to build.
Honored Dead trait is running at 65 mil on the exchange currently.
Please break up future videos into chapters. Especially in a video like this so I can be quickly referenced.
There is also another regular Ba'ul omni as well which you can also run with that other lobi omni, works great.
Ooh, i picked up the ship a while back, I might have to give this a go, got a few of the items and traits already on my Lexington
Thanks for doing this vid, looking forward to your support build.
A few q's if you don't mind:
- i know it defeats the purpose, but stuck on my own (ie. Swarm TFO lane), will I still do enough dmg on my own? Idk if 200k is a lot.
- any idea how wide threat spreads? If I sit in the "middle" of Defense SB1 and pull aggro, will I cover the majorty of the map?
- any tips on positioning? If I end up in a PUG random TFO, can I just follow the primary dmg dealer? Idk how quick threat moves over from a major DPS'er to a tank drawing aggro but late on positioning?
I know this was more a showcase then a build-guide, but I appreciate you included some advice to replace X/Y item if viewer doesnt own it, certainly continue doing that in your vids.
haha thanks man, Funny enough the support video is getting uploaded as i type this, not 100% happy with it since its such an indepth topic that no one really does so i feel like its just missing some so ask all the questions and ill answer the best i can.
So dps in most situation 200k is plenty since you don't have to get x amount in most tfos and the tank won't die, its only in certain tfo's like Dranuur Gauntlet elite where you need to get 10 dreadnought kills where if everyone is doing less then 200k you'll have issues.
Threat is generally around your firing range, but with ba'uls its also outside of the 10kms with the refraction, and yes if you sit in the middle you pull most of the map in sb1.
Positioning is basically look where the largest concentration of enemy's are and go and sit in the middle of them and say Hello, Threat transfer is a interesting situation, most of the time you should be there first for dangerous targets, ie Elite dread tac cubs basically any big targets, if not you could run the trait from the justiciar that is a taunt which will rip aggro straight away or the strategist taunt will do the same job in an aoe situation.
And thanks for the nice comments man i really appreciate them :).
Nice vid, well explained thanks for that! One question, what space skills do you prefer?
Space skills as in skill tree or specialisation
@@Nic_NB Space Skill tree. I know there isn't a ton of usefulness in there, I just find it interesting to see how others do it.
discord.gg/R7RwgqTCvF , i just posted screenshots of my skill tree that i use for all my builds on my main tac in my builds section of my discord.
Did a very similar, little cheaper and more basic build on the Legendary Verity. It's practically immortal in Elite TFOs and can catch the enemy's attention rather well. Went with the Fleet Tactical Computer and 3 isomags for a little more oomph and without the Fek'ihri Torment Engine and DPRM but otherwise pretty identical. Opted for the Invulnerability Field Projector console from the Terran Pathfinder for emergency invulnerability instead, but haven't really had to use it yet.
Yeah i love the build.
When you do build videos like this, consider posting timestamps for each section of your talk so if people are using this as a build reference they don't have to waste time hunting around to find the info they want. While it has gotten incrementally better over the years, STO's baseline respect for peoples' time is pretty low. That's not your fault, but we all notice when you do your best to mitigate any additional time sink on your end.
Will keep it in mind.
I have a similar tank build with a Voth Rampart.. Hangar has 2 elite support frigates because they also have Suppression Barrage III. So with them and SAD, I'm debuffing everything with Vanguard Specialization trait.
hi Nic,
is there any particular reason you are using faw1 and torp spread 3? I'd have figured it the other way around but I guess you got reasons for this. Enlighten me please :D
Great Video, as per usual from you
From the energy weapon experts it apparently does more damage
@@Nic_NB huh, how unintuitive :D thanks for the lightning quick reply!
*most expensive tank* 😅. I watched it all but zoned out after everything was basically lockbox 😂.
Amazing build and video though!
Are you Aussie or Kiwi Nicko , m8? Cool to have fellow far n away bold trekkies from Terra's own far flung civilizations and southern frontiers
Aussie mate
This is great, what changes would you make for a non tank beam faw build, are you going to do a vid on that?
Personally not sure since a lot of the other cc’s have been covering fire at will recently, but if people want to see my spin on it I can add it to the list
@@Nic_NB do you have any suggestions about other faw videos, I'm just getting back into sto.
I would love to see your vid on it too though.
ua-cam.com/video/bd_4mnRJYy8/v-deo.htmlsi=LZbTDMvw6fuHZzrS mcstuds faw vengeance from a few weeks back, auggies thesus ua-cam.com/video/GCeLj2pHRRQ/v-deo.htmlsi=tG4wVc8WBgxwkmLQ, both are great builds.
@@Nic_NBThanks so much, I've been watching all your recent videos to get up to speed on the state of the game.
was checking the video, i didnt see any skills for the standard space skills. What do you use for those?
Pretty much the standard tac skills used by everyone on every build
3:58 I only have 170K hull with a Concorde but I seriously need ec to buy the Ba’ul weapons .
With threatening stance and history that will be plenty
Great build - cheers. I shall be tweaking my ship more inline with this. What are your thoughts of this ship vs the Styx? Also, my tank toon is a Romulan engineer (back from years ago when I was trying everything). Do you think the reduced damage with no APA etc. is a big deficit?
The Styx is a beast probably arguably slightly better then the justiciar for debuffing purposes, but yes no alpha kinda sucks for threat generation and seeing you don’t get any great damage mitigation from engineering it just doesn’t come close to a tactical performance at the high end
@@Nic_NB Cheers. I ended up with many toons for many builds, back in the days when the game did an awful job at remembering loadouts. I have 2 engineers and 2 science toons on meta ships & builds. I don't want to try to get hold of all the character bound stuff again on just my tactical toons - such a pain - I guess I just have to live with it now but it would be good to see if I can transfer this ship to a tactical as I don't think there is much character bound stuff on it.
I was still on disruptor so i used your video and upgrade weekend as an excuse to move to a Styx tank on a tactical toon with the full Ba'ul set on. I can tell the difference in power and it is undoubtedly even tankier. I'm running Intel primary but can see that MW will be best in extreme situations.
Thank you for the video. Have you done any testing to see if running a few isomags improves dps, while not negatively affecting the tank role?
For ise and other less threatening content compare it say hse and korfez you could run isomags but I have fun with the build as is so just never felt the need to change
Thank you for this Nic! I plan on using this build on my Legendary Oddy tank since the boff seating is very very similar. One question i have is what would you reccomend for a player who doesnt have Agent Nerul?
There is a doff that is like 50% of what agent nerul is now, but that is fairly expensive from what I can remember, so tbh like if I wasn’t using 2 energy weapon officer another ewo to have 1 crit chance 1 crit sev
Is it worth swapping to Antiproton after investing so heavily in Phaser?
I just got 5 Phaser Isomags :/
For tanking you won’t need isomags, for dps if just keep using phaser
Only need the DPRM and overpowered and over gunned... Bloody things are on every build.
Yeah Dprm is great for tanks
Where do you get rank 3 suppression barrage skill?
You need to have 22 points in command specialization to craft it or you can buy it from the exchange for a few thousands ec
@@Nic_NBthank you 😊
Why not the 2-pc flagship set with the Flagship Tactical Computer (without the Bozeman console instead)? :)
The shield offline is quite helpful , especially with the 45 second duration
@@Nic_NB Sorry, I edited my previous comment to be specific which to be the 2nd console of the flagship set. =) Thanks for the heart never the less. ^^ But the shield offline alone doesn't help you tank, the turn rate boost however improves your evasion. ^^ But I'm not a pro, I just always use the 2-pc flagship since it's pretty cheap to use and so effective.
I just find it help with large groups and then eliminating a large threat, but that's what works for me.
i wonder what a budget version of this would be like?
Umm, short answer would be run miracle worker, then drop the net drones for another colony console and then every defensive trait (Personal/starship) you can get your hands on and then just try and get whatever heal console you have
is the Boseman ship console-worth buying the ship if your ar not solely a tank player ?
Yeah the shield offline is really nice for all players, plus is got passive crit chance and severity
Is at the top of my new C-store to get list next Einstein💯👍
hello how do I get good at this game
By being a dead bird
grea vid where did the tac cons come from?
Fleet colony world
got one a tac console also looked at the Baul beams will get some much thanks 💯👍
where is your 7 isomags?
On my dps build :)
You seriously need to look at weapons buffs cos having beams under 1000 is terrible, I've seen players with 1500 , 2000 and 2500+.
He's on ground, tooltips are inaccurate for space stuff on ground maps
@@Holymike , ah right ok.
