Fully loaded JHDC…

Since my last post on this subject, I have been working to get the JHDC to full Epic XlV and finally I managed it tonight. I though the march to UR Xlll was tough… this was absolutely insane and I have to say that now fully epic, it certainly does make a difference. Advanced STFs are a breeze though I have yet to do Elites with the same frequency. To compare, I would say that now maxed out, the Advances feel like the STFs before DR and that feels a little unfair after all the time, Zen, Dilithium and real money that this took to do. Still, the rat race on the JHDC (my main and now probably only ship) is done. I would estimate it may be another $250 or more to go from UR to Epic for all these. Perhaps $500. I am terrified to go to my PWE purchases over the last 6 months. Factoring in the ship, the pets, the upgrades the JHDC could be a thousand dollars or more which is daft when you consider it is virtual. That said, she turns pretty well for a big ship, throws out serious damage (25k without even trying – much more if I wasn’t built for flow caps and drain) and the pets even after the nerf are still little monsters. I wanted a good canon Dominion ship (all the beams bar the omni are Dominion polaron and the space set is Dominion which gives 15.4% extra polaron damage) and this is what I got. The flow caps (at level300 ish) are all working with the beams (Tetryon and Polaron hybrids) and give the Plasmonic Leech a + 3.5 for each beam fired in drain and buff. In combat the ship is running weapons, shields and engines at max and aux at around 90.)
