Mino or Fed T5 Engi ?

Been working on my NAGA since coming back and I’m almost done

Thinking ahead and wondering what to use as my backup Engineer.

 

I have a Minotaur that curiously has the same Survivability as the NAGA (wtf) shooting a 7km Positron. But I’ve been seeing alot of Fed engineers in PVE and they look fun zipping about faster than empire fighters. Definitely see a strategic advantage in that for beacon maps. Never used them before and not sure how they are fitted.

 

Both will still need a sizeable time investment to fully purplize and wondering what is the trend for dedicated healers on a team… Do you use Fed+Emp T5 engies or do Minotaurs see alot of T5 realistic mode ? So … questions:

 

  1. Minotaur or T-Rex ?

  2. How to fit a T-Rex properly ?

  3. What do I do with NAGA’s capacitor slots ? Planning on stacking Relays if I have a command on squad and Pulse when solo … is there a better use for NAGA cap slots ?

 

1,2 - IDK

  1. I’m not a good Engie pilot but this setup can survive a lot + have best heal output for team:

if you are looking for a speedy engi take a peek at the r12 fed engi

id go with minotaur, fed engies r pretty weak, they only have about half of an empire engies health ( depends if u tank shield and hull or not) i always attack them whether im in a frigate,fighter,or interceptor.soooo minotaur. Even tho fed has speed it doesnt do much in large battles because if u fly around at top speed like that the enemies will shoot u down

They both great, and really depends on quite a few factors

  • Map
  • Game size
  • Opponents line up
  • Your teams line up
  • Enemy and friendly players (different players execute same line ups differently)
     
    (assuming Sec Con)
    We (NASA) don’t really have dedicated healers for Sec Con in a sense that they run 2x+ healers (well there is Mota, but thats about it) so we have w/e our pilots have, and it looks like it is equally divided between T-rex and Naga, i think i am the only that likes to fly Mino (but i chose Mino vs Trex before going in sec con, depending on what maps are there to fight on)
    Here is how i use them

This is how I build them:

 

Minotaur

Naga

T-Rex

(note it’s not max level, at max level I would change one of the Verniers for Strafe/Speed/Acc)

 

 

 

 

Not armadillo fan anymore?

I have 3 other ships, that will benefit from J1 more than armadillo.

Wich ones? I’m not up to date about the state of Armadillo. It keeps changing every patch and I’m never sure when it’s worthy or not.

I have been pretty lazy lately, so i still have not re run my dmg reduction graphs for new armadillo to see exactly what is up. 

So very simplistic rule of thumb for now is ~80 resists and if i have a dedicated command in squad kinda thing

ANother thing that push me to use more of J1 now is increased amount of Tacklers with Gauss, lot of my ships mostly Adaptive tanked, so i suffer from those if i am not careful

why is the autonomous healing station thing on your minotaur golden??

Because he upgraded it through gold standards instead of loyalty vouchers.

Because he upgraded it through gold standards instead of loyalty vouchers before mk4 system got introduced

they don’t become “golden” if you upgrade them now

I didn´t now that, i never bought any dlc or gold so i always upgraded my modules with loyalty.

Every module that has been upgraded with gold became a premium module, with same stats, but extra 3% synergy gain benefit to this ship per module, i invested some spare gold into those modules, got some T4 and T5

lol just get the r15 implant that gives u 10% more synergy gain

I personally would use the trex, as it can use the t5 implants, like the r15 fed and r14 jerry in particular

lol just get the r15 implant that gives u 10% more synergy gain

it stacks

it stacks

but will that 3 percent REALLY help u?i depend on my fleet strength

gold, fleet strength or this:

Everyone can find something that is good  :crazy:

thanks for the builds guys …

 

but can someone explain how Fed Engineers would operate in a random public match ?

 

I’m almost certain I cannot play it like I do with NAGA / Mino. What are the tactics behind Fed Engi ?
