Use Fire at Will with Reverse Shield Polarity. All of those ship firing at you will rebuild you shields very quickly.

As a beginner... this is way to advanced for me

Overall, I appreciate what you are doing here. Too much of YouTube is from the high-end perspective. There are a couple of notes to keep in mind though. Power Transfer Rate is basically the EPS skill. The higher that is, the quicker your Weapons Sub-System recovers energy. The quicker you recover Weapons energy, the higher your DPS. Taking Improved EPS and using the Reinforced Armaments console should be all the Poeer Transfer you will need. The diminishing returns on Resistances makes stacking them beyond 25-30 resting values compromise on other facets of the build. If you are rumning a T5-U/T6 Cruiser, the Mastery package gives you 25 Resistance in every category. Combine that with Trellium-D and you are set. If you are not running a Cruiser mastery package, you can make up for that lack by taking the Hull Plating skill. Once you have a decent "resting" resistance value, Honored Dead (Exchange for Fed), Ablative Shell and/or Repair Crews can stack up a few more points and bonuses to healing as well. Keeping global cooldown on Polarize Hull is an interesting concept. I would do that more for its immunity to certain control effects. Hull Restoration is as important as Resistances. At the very least, Engineering Team, Hazard Emitters and Science Team can keep you up in all but the most intense fire situations. Another survival consideration is Threat. You touched upon that briefly with Fire at Will versus Beam Overload. A good Threat control system will really help with Survival. Pseudo-Submission is an excellent trait to make the bad guys forget you are there. If you run an Intel ship, Intelligence Team is a good budget method. Specialization seating is really useful. For example, you can roll all of the above Team skills into Rally Point Marker. Your Endeavor there has Command seating. Specialization seating and abilities is knowledge I regret not knowing for so long. I think those entering the end game should be introduced to those concepts very early on. Overall, a solid intro video.

I really like this game for some reason, the freedom it gives. I love parking my ship in the middle of nowhere and sitting on my captains chair or finding an enterable space station for a quest I've never even done. It makes me wanna watch a series I've never seen.

I've been playing this game casually since it launched and I'm watching this in 2022 because I still have every little understanding on how anything actually works.

Thank you for finally pushing into my head about resistance gear. I had someone say it wasn't important so I was getting rid of that gear. Ugh, feel dumb.

I'm a "vet" and this was good info, nice work man keep it 👍

As a player just starting off this was VERY helpful! I nearly gave up because most of the information I was looking for was outdated and like you stated the game itself can leave you with a few unanswered questions. Not to mention I was bombarded with so many things it was a bit overwhelming and I hadnt even hit level 10. I hope you will keep making update tutorial videos like this :) Thumbs up and subed!

Thank you for this. I’ve tried playing STO about 3 times in the past decade but have given up each time without getting very far. Most recently it was after an extended absence and everything was so different. I had no idea what to do and all the videos I found were outdated. I was part of a lot of STO communities and tried asking there but learned how unsupportive and unwelcoming the STO community is to new players. All my questions got downvoted to oblivion with the only replies basically being variations of “git gud”. I even got banned from one community for saying, in a conversational thread, that I wasn’t interested in Discovery content. Literally, that was the comment. I realized the community has no interest in being welcoming so it’s very refreshing to see your video giving such helpful advice. I’m seriously becoming tempted to try it again.

Thank you for still doing this in 2020

Thank you a lot lad for this video. Very informative and reliable. You've been greatly helpful for this!

I love that Stu managed to sign cardi B to his ship crew. Good job, brother!

A T6 ship is hardly basic, looking at the rank and colour of your weapons and consoles, this could be months away for me. But the energy weapon advice fills a hole in my knowledge that is gratefully accepted.

Saw this pop up a while ago and I have to say, thank you very much, it really helped me understanding ship builds when I started playing.

just started and wow thx for the help can’t wait to get better ships

Been playing a little over two weeks. Watch and read all I can everyday. I know there's lots to learn, and appreciate your vids and discord, keep up the good work. Oh and I do have one toon in your Fleet. Rolling a new toon because I just say the vid on how Tatical is the way to go and of course I have a Engineer and Science, oh well live and learn. 😂 Thanks again

This was sensational just got back into sto after a 4 year hiatus you saved me

Thanks! Info was big help. Keep up the good work.

I knew there was a lot to the game, but there is a lot more then i thought. Thanks for the video.
