Andorian Chimesh Build

This build was created on a free to play account with the intention of proving that budget builds can be made viable in endgame PvP content.

With the free T6 token and the benefits of the account bank given to everyone for this year's 12th Anniversary event, I have been steadily improving and adding to this build since February. I chose this ship because it was full pilot spec, came with a good experimental weapon, a trait I wanted to use on other builds, and it's fleet level right out of the box - no fleet modules required for this one.

Recently, I have also acquired the trait "Rhythmic Rumble" for even more durability, as well as a hefty damage improvement. This required converting nearly 2 million dilithium into Zen which took some time, but thanks to reputation rewards and recruitment event characters, I had plenty of dilithium to spend.

This ship is also identical stats-wise to the Lethean and Dewan escorts of the same type, and extremely similar even to the Tactical and Engineering variants of these ships. With a few tweaks, the same build could be run on any of these escorts effectively.
