1. The Trafalgar's "Spirit of Sacrifice" console, which enabled me to take the 3 points of long range targeting and shift those for more power and drain. (Drain value is more from the resistance to help recover a subsystem faster after Override Subsystem Safeties)

In addition, due to the Cooldown reduction this offers, I am no longer running Boimler or Intelligence Agent Attache. Giving me room to use some alternative space traits. Wasn't many amazing options before, but with Twinkling lights, that has helped greatly there.

2. Twinkling Lights

As of Dec 10th, this is not working with the Hexa Cannons or my Khitomer Shield (does AP reflections). Hexa's may get fixed, not certain on the Khitomer shield.

Prior to this, I had already tried dropping one Altamid Plasma DC for the Terran Rep DHC with mixed results. This trait changed the formula and to me that extra 20 debuff makes up the difference.

If Hexas start working with this, then that would be -60 debuff against my primary targets.

3. The Legendary Nebula's "Particle Fluctuation Analysis" starship trait.

I am not a fan of the low duration this has, and even have gaps in most runs due to it. Running Immol Lance, VAQ, or toggling Eleos are not viable options to me as they would all result in less performance. I just don't have a console worth dropping for either Immol Lance of VAQ.

But when you have stacks active, this helps you hit very hard. I saw a nice gain at the start, left side, and gate due to having so many stacks of this up.

Performance Disclaimer

There are variants of this build that factor in more surviability and are much better for general gameplay. This is an optimized loadout for Solo ISE record chasing.

This was also done on a character with most space endeavors maxed out.

Even if you copy 1:1, this is a build that takes a lot of practice to properly execute. Mara, Michi, myself, and others pushing these numbers have done hundreds of these runs. Do not expect immediate success.

3.42m Solo ISE Record Build - Mirror Engle Strike Wing Escort

[tired hound]

Is there anything this build can do without and still be successful (assuming the proper piloting and cooldown management)? Or perhaps in other words, if you're not going for a record but simply to get going in this style and still be able to clear an ISE solo, what could be dropped and replaced?

I don't know if the question makes sense. I'm trying to get into this style of build, but some parts and pieces are expensive. Perhaps the better question is, "What here is absolutely key to make this type of build work?"

I hope you or anyone who replies gets the gist of what I'm trying to ask! lol.

[mossy fossil]

This specific loadout is optimized for trying to squeeze out every last bit for ISE. It's so far above what is needed to solo the map that basically any part of it can be substituted out if you don't mind lower performance

[indigo marsh]

I stop playing for 1 year and those 3 items you just listed, jesus christ, I thought 2024 had power creep lol

[olive oyster]

Why is Resonating Payload Modification slotted? I thought it works only on torps. Does the Quantum array trigger this?

For the Achilles console

[kind haven]

Hey, sorry if I'm being thick, I can't see the bottom part of the skill tree anywhere. Do you have it somewhere? Ta!

Hello, my apologies for the delay, just seeing your question.
