I want to fine-tune this build so it focuses on AOE crowd control and damage from EPG attacks.

#

available consoles i have

#

#

im currently saving up to try and buy the maquis raider from the exchange, the ship costs 160mil and im sitting at 122mil

#

so i need recommendations to fill in the gaps on the build, and if my traits/boffs need any changes

#

i could try crafting multiple science EPG consoles, use them similar to isomags

#

#

i also have 3 100% off coupons for T6 ships, if any consoles or traits from them can be used

marked the ones that work well on an epg build (not necessarily complete, just the ones i noticed)

#

sftf, chronophage, dismissed, dragonbreath are top priority

#

protonic snare goes on that list in case of solo elites. too slow for advanced or pugs tho

i wouldn't recommend buying anything right now, the options you own are plenty powerful as it stands. will still list some options tho:
on first thought: genesis seed (clarke), proton eruptor (lo'lah), PCM (guardian)
if we include powerful stuff that doesn't necessarily scale with exotic buffs: phalanx (achilles), seq warhead (shangri)

#

concerning ship traits, it kinda depends on what you own. if you have the respective bundles, SotL, Thirst, PFA would be excellent. in terms of single char or mudds unlocks, some that come to mind are UD and Conquest

#

would the science isomags be a good idea to get as well, as i could equip up to 7 of them?

#

nah

#

pretty much any passive consoles are offmeta territory nowadays

#

there may be merit in using an [epg] exciter (since that gives like +70 epg) but those are absurdly expensive so also not rly worth going for unless you really wanna focus on non-clickie consoles

#

if i had the keys or credits, i think the new atherium concordium omni beam would be a nice addition for an aft weapon

glad tundra Mar 3, 2026, 11:31 PM

#

be aware that it appears to be bugged. aetherian omni currently only has the base damage of a turret
bug has been reported on the official server #1474760257514377281 message

#

also, it kinda depends on what you intend to do with the weapons. apart from Pahvan (which is always there, for Resonance Shock), the prominent uses of weapons on epg builds are
-> rainbow faw/csv for Twinkling Lights debuff
-> passive set bonuses (disco 2p, delphic 2p, gravimetric 2p)
-> torps with epg scaling effects (PEP, Gravi) [scitorp]
-> energy weapons for extra damage [dewsci]

what is the delphic 2p?

#

i went ahead and got the maquis raider and put its plasma storm on

#

still need to get 2 aft weapons, upgrade everything, and figure out the best traits/doffs

Have you considered the arc royal? It's all this ship +2 hangars
