Starship Gear by Captain Type
Starship Gear by Captain Type
So what gear is "best in show" for the different ship and Captain types? Should I use the Deflector array with the EPG (Exotic Particle Generation) instead of the bonus to stealth? Well, the way the game is built is that there is no clear "do not use" in the sense that the gear will give no benefits but there is gear that is tailored to the way the ships and Captains are built and playstyle.
Science Captains should be looking at gear that enhances things that their ships, BoFF seating, BoFFs and innate Captain abilities provide. Likewise, with the Engineering Captains and Tactical Captains. This section will look to provide some guidance on the gear that you should be looking for in the areas of:
Deflectors (and Secondary Deflectors)
