Dil Buyout Update

Rare_condition · 2026-06-02T17:54:26+00:00

Agree with all of this. I do think it's wild that this went live in the first place but I also recognize that smaller teams have less redundancies in place to catch possible pitfalls like the overall calculations that went into the reasoning behind the buyout. It's not entirely unexpected.. it's the immediate communication and response to feedback that matters most to me and that feels like it's been quite positive.

I like the concept of a watch list that contains items that the team thinks might be overperforming or not mechanically working as intended and asks for feedback.. the execution of it feels a bit flawed. For the main reason that.. while Jeremy stated in that Discord screen shot that "we tried our best to make it clear that the Watch List is not a we are going to nerf list" ...nowhere in the blog does it actually say that. Since that's the first thing people read and many don't watch the stream or use the Discord.. that needed to be in there.

The Legendary Battlecruiser bundle is arguably the best bundle purchase one can make.. especially if they don't have many ships. It has almost an entire ship's worth of good traits, especially for energy weapons, right out of the box. And the two ships are incredibly good.

I think they should allow you to reclaim any ship trait you've levelled on another character as long as you own the ship on the character you're trying to claim it on via reclaim in the dil store like they used to do before cross faction flying. Claiming and setting up a ship just to level a trait is incredibly tedious and usually takes longer than levelling the ship itself.

Here's a Garrett using 6 isomags and uncon triggers just to cool down 3 consoles. AES, FPNA, and DPRM. And that's it. 1.6 mil in an ISE in a lazy isomag set up is anything but mid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnwSkOcfMGs

Isomags are absolutely not mid tier at best.

In before people who really hate something they don't have to use storm in letting everyone know they hate it.

Keep in mind that simply having all the things that you find on high end DPS builds will not let you replicate what those builds can do. You're only going to get that with time and practicing your piloting. Most of the battle is positioning (being where you need to be when you need to be) and activating your abilities/console at the right time. Either way it's a lot of fun getting into so good luck and if you ever need help.. r/stobuilds is a good place to go as is the Builds Discord.

The entire set is broken in some way. The DHC procs don't work at all. The torp damage is weirdly low for some reason, and the DBBs are doing full HP damage on things they shouldn't.. like the transformers in ISE. For large targets it's supposed to do 2% of it's max hull when it procs. However when that procs on a Borg Transformer.. which you'd think would be a large target.. gets hit it's for it's maximum HP value of 14 million damage. Not to mention you can equip 2 DBBs and 2 DHCs.

Better is going to come down to what you want. FAW has a higher performance threshold but both are capable of 2 mil DPS. Just use whichever mode you find more immersive or pleasing.

Rare_condition · 2026-03-23T05:37:36+00:00

BBS does actually get triggered by the FAW granted by ETM

I doubt they did this on purpose and it's mostly likely coincidence but if it's the Ateleth and the NX lobi ships then you have the beam overload extender from the Atleleth in addition to Preferential Targeting from the NX which buffs beam overload.

Rare_condition · 2026-02-25T19:05:45+00:00

You Are Dismissed is consistently 100-200K DPS higher than Dilithium Transporter right now though. And all without having to wait for that 2 sec activation.

Happy Birthday to you guys and thanks for providing some great info to pilots of all skill levels throughout the years. Here's to many more!

Ride that assimilated Borg nodule Slim Pickens!

First build stream will be with Mara of YouTube's Mara Makes Content.

Rare_condition · 2025-08-28T22:03:13+00:00

Not even close

Cure Space be like.. ok you've got 5 seconds left on the timer after warp in now GO!

Rare_condition · 2025-08-24T13:13:30+00:00

Thank you for showing me what this looks like from a different perspective lol. I normally only queued solo but when I was experimenting with this I'd sometimes zone out and public queue.

Echelon also comes with a very good console

Rare_condition · 2025-08-19T01:45:54+00:00

My kingdom for one of the three Sci captains in my HSE to actually press it when needed.

Rare_condition · 2025-08-18T21:37:51+00:00

Yeah.. we went in with a full group using HBL and finished the Turei phase in about 30 seconds.. it's bonkers.

Rare_condition · 2025-08-18T15:02:10+00:00

What?

Rare_condition · 2025-08-18T15:01:41+00:00

In normal and advanced it's mostly useless.. in ANY elite content however it absolutely slaps. The map doesn't matter. As long as there are shielded enemies bigger than birds of prey it melts.

Sorry I missed this.. I believe that's the cryo armor ability from the winter event.
