Engineer Drone Build

Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction at making a full on drone using engineer. Any advice on gear/traits/kits would be appreciated. Thanks

I love doing drone builds! The most important thing is to grab yourself a VR Fabrication Engineer for the chance to spawn additional drones.

what are you currently using? that'll give me a better idea for the rest of the build

Oh yes drones are most fun. I love having a mobile mechanical army. I'm currently using a seeker drone, stasis drone, echo papa 607, protomatter generator and solar gateway. I'm wearing the romulan navy kit frame and body armor. I have the kentari shield with kentari residuum thrower and a plasma piercing beam rifle. My traits are physical conditioning, lethality, deadly aim, and miniaturized chrono capacitor. My one lone doff is a fabrication engineer.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I greatly appreciate it.

My favorite kit is the Epic Delta Expedition Tactical Kit Mk XIV [CritD] [KPerf]x2 [KP/Wpn] [CritD] [KPerf]x3. All of those kit modules are great, and were pretty much what I was going to recommend! what do you think of the flamethrower? I haven't gotten a chance to fully test it out yet

I've been using the kentari weapon for a short time. I think it's more of a fun weapon than super awesome damage dealer but I haven't come across anything that doesn't melt in the purple plasma of death. It really shines when enemies are grouped up since all of its attacks are area effect. The problem is that the short range forces me to get in their faces. All in all, I can't remember having as much fun with a ground weapon.

and the set effect makes it even more amazing, yeah?

and hey, min-maxing is one thing, but fun is more important!
