Fleet Admiral Hammer here. Over the past couple years that I've been playing STO, I've grown to love the Star Cruiser. Once the Fleet Star Cruiser became available, I grabbed it. I've been trying my best to get the best equipment for it, and as such, my build has been improving. Although my current build is far from finished and far from perfect, I thought that it would be wise to get advice from other people to help improve the fleet flagship. Without further ado, I present to you the Fleet Flagship: U.S.S. Cambridge.

The main focus of this build is to be a pain to destroy one on one, and then to support fellow fleetmates in PvP and PvE events.

Most of the time, I have all power to Weapons. The general idea is to have Tactical Team and EPtS continuously running, hence the 2 copies in the build. As the shield power increases, the Auxilary power also improves. The increase in Auxilary power is useful when activating Extend Shields and Hazard Emitters when I'm going to help others. As an Engineering Officer, I have a plethora of hull heals to keep my hull repaired along with a full human crew. The Auxilary to Battery ability is useful in a pinch when my other abilites just aren't cutting it.

My plan to improve my build is to eventually upgrade my weapons to Elite Fleet versions, Consoles to Very Rare Mk XII (unless Fleet versions arive), Borg Engines and Deflector to Mk XII, replace the M.A.C.O. Shield with an Elite Fleet Resilient Shield Array, and then upgrade my current warp core to Elite Mk XII.

My build is far from perfect, and I look forward to any criticism (both positive and negative) that will help improve the Flagship. Either comment, or send me an in-game message at Hammer@illogical_vulcan96.
