• Negatives: Percent negative the augmenters do, not including AT or anything else that may affect it.

Engineer Class

Rhino

• Tech: 20
• Type: Support Freighter
• Augs: 2 General Ops Mastery Augmenter, 1 Offensive Ops Mastery Augmenter
• Cost: Less than 1 billion credits (Use Sup. Drone Augmenter Tokens in the Lyceum Engineer AI Base to get any Mastery Augmenter you need)
• Notes: All purpose basic Engineer setup. Has some capacity, speed, and a mixture of General Drone Ops and Offensive Drone Ops (the different stats multiply their raw stats) without being too stingy on shields and energy.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 3 General Ops Mastery Augmenters
• Cost: Less than 1 billion credits (Use Sup. Drone Augmenter Tokens in the Lyceum Engineer AI Base to get any Mastery Augmenter you need)
• Notes: All purpose basic Engineer setup. Trades some firepower for better overall stats with an emphasis on Speed and Capacity. May have some energy recharge problems owing to lack of an augmenter that boosts those stats. Can use Solar Panels to compensate somewhat.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 2 General Ops Mastery Augmenter, 1 Engineer Mastery Augmenter or The Art of Engineering Augmenter
• Cost: 5 to 10 billion credits
• Notes: The preference of the Mastery aug or the Art aug is up to the player, the difference is that the Art aug has more overall Drone Ops and better tractor stats, but has slightly less electricity bonus and misses the rare Inertia Dampening stat, which can be useful if the player is being pushed around a lot by explosions.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: General Ops Mastery Augmenter, The Art of Engineering Augmenter, Offensive Ops Mastery Augmenter
• Cost: 5 to 10 billion credits
• Notes: This is similar to 2 Gen, 1 Off, trading some capacity and speed for more sustain and tractor stats, for people that want to use tractors more often but do not want to give up the overall drone power.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 2 The Art of Engineering Augmenters, Offensive Ops Mastery Augmenter
• Cost: 10 to 15 billion credits
• Notes: This is primarily a squad oriented setup from the absence of the Gen Ops augs, for when you need all the energy you can get for powering tractors both support and displacement. It's not really meant to move a lot and has less capacity than a 1 or 2 Gen build.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 2 General Ops Mastery Augmenters, Everlasting Ops Mastery Augmenter
• Cost: Less than 1 billion credits (Use Sup. Drone Augmenter Tokens in the Lyceum Engineer AI Base to get any Mastery Augmenter you need)
• Notes: 2 Gen, 1 Ever is a niche setup intended for kiting without a range controller, or supporting drones that burn out of energy fast. It also has a ton of electricity, which is handy for players that don't want to deal with recharging as often. It has inferior damage output compared to most setups.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

Shield Monkey Class

Any T20 Support Freighter, Apprentice's Ward, Rhino, Assault Behemoth(+), etc

• Augs: 3 Shield Monkey Mastery Augmenter

• Notes: Budget tank setup. All you need to be honest.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 2 The Art of Commanding Augmenters
• Cost: 5 to 10 billion credits
• Notes: More resistances than above setup, which gives a stiffer passive tank, but lacks the shield recovery bonuses, meaning it takes longer to regenerate back to full. Pairs well with Centered advanced skill.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: The Art of Commanding Augmenter, Fleet Commander Mastery Augmenter
• Cost: 5 billion credits
• Notes: Mixture of both above setups.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

• Augs: Gunner Mastery Augmenter, Ares Augmenter
• Cost: Less than 1 billion credits
• Notes: Budget starter setup, decent damage and range.

• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

High tech ships (Tech 20 to Tech 22)

Tech 20 setups are aimed at higher end players

Seer Class

Rajanicar'ayu

• Augs: 2 The Emperor's Augmenter, Ult. Obliteration Augmenter, Ultimate Art of Stealth Augmenter
• Cost: 200 to 250 billion credits
• Notes: Guaranteed high critical hit chance with long range, this is an obvious PvE build. It has limited stealth, but it doesn't need huge amounts of stealth. Very nice electricity means it can use a wide variety of weapons.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

Speed Demon Class

Phoenix/Glaucopennia

• Augs: 2 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters, Perilous Augmenter, Ult. Obliteration Augmenter
• Cost: 500 billion credits
• Notes: Phoenix and Glauco are the same ship; Phoenix is the offensive glasscannon and Glauco is the more defensive bruiser. This is an unusually bulky setup for the purpose of surviving longer on Phoenix stance and not dying on Glauco. Stance change imparts a 100,000 per second Shield Recovery buff at cost of resists, for 10 seconds, which means you can use a bank shield. The bulkiness of the setup is meant to be used around that mechanic.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

Kalthi Wrathful Stinger

• Augs: 2 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters, 2 Ult. Obliteration Augmenter
• Cost: 400 to 500 billion credits
• Notes: This is a nasty offensive setup meant to achieve peak damage output while retaining a lot of range. This setup on this ship will not reach 700 speed, but the Stinger Attack superitem will cover that.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

Harrier

• Augs: 2 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters, Twisted Death Augmenter, Ult. Obliteration Augmenter
• Cost: 500 billion credits
• Notes: This is the standard glasscannon offensive build for Speed Demons. It is even squishier than the KWS setup above due to Twisted Death Augmenter reducing resistance to damage, but has some capacity and mobility benefits over higher offense setups.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

Rajanicar'ayu

• Augs: 2 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters, Cyclops Augmenter, Ult. Obliteration Augmenter
• Cost: 300 to 350 billion credits
• Notes: The Cyclops Augmenter reduces some of your speed and tracking, but significantly buffs your tank and capacity, which makes the ship useful in a solo PvE setting for DF300-380 dungeons where you're likely to take a few hits and want to save your limited superitem slots for something other than Recon Loot Payload.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

Silent Night

• Augs: 2 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters, Perilous Augmenter, Ult. Obliteration Augmenter
• Cost: 400 to 500 billion credits
• Notes: The Silent Night has greater resistances than the Phoenix/Glauco and this build is a continuation of the idea, being able to apply a moderate amount of damage while not dying very easily.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 3 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters, The Emperor's Augmenter
• Cost: 350 to 500 billion credits
• Notes: Courtesy of Butterz, triple UAoFK/Emp is designed around providing solid damage output while not dying and not needing dedicated electricity sustain from a support character.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

• Augs: 4 Ultimate Art of Fast Killing Augmenters
• Cost: 400 to 600 billion credits
• Notes: From Jester, this setup takes the triple UAoFK setup further into squad DPS setups. It sacrifices range for more damage, and is meant to be used with close range weapons only.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

-

= Hybridized Venaticora, Kalthi Warrior, Subhatt'ayu, Kalthi Wrathful Warrior

• Augs: Ultimate Art of Destruction Augmenter, Tarkin's Augmenter, Perilous Augmenter

= Hybridized Venaticora, Kalthi Warrior, Subhatt'ayu, Kalthi Wrathful Warrior

• Augs: Ultimate Art of Destruction Augmenter, Lunarian Augmenter, Tarkin's Augmenter
• Cost: 600-800 billion credits
• Notes: Tanky setup, more oriented towards doing DPS. If you replace Lunarian with Combined Aspect of the Lion, cuts off 400b+ cost.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

Sniper Class

= Hybridized Venaticora, Isvas'ayu, Resistance, Twisted Vanguard

• Augs: The Emperor's Augmenter x 2, Ult. Obliteration Augmenter

• Notes: Higher DPS, less sustain, more shields than previous setup.
• Bonuses:
• Negatives:

Engineer Class

-

Shield Monkey Class

Drone Builds

Drones receive part (50%?) of your class skills, which allows Shield Monkey drone setups to function as the shields and damage of the ShM class compensates for some of the missing Drone Mastery skill from Engineer class.

Voulge

• Augs: 2 Mechanical Hound Augmenters, 1 Twisted Tesla Augmenter
• Cost: 400 to 600 billion credits
• Notes: Pumps out comparable firepower and defense to an Engineer Voulge, but with Shield Monkey Superitems as well. Has utterly insane burst HPS for three augmenters and pretty high sustained HPS at greater ranges than contemporary PRR and SPHST based healers. Weaknesses are drone range overall, the fragility of healing drones in general, and of course limited to four deployed drones. Droney advanced skill is a requirement to use this setup.

Fleet Commander Class
