5/2/5 Combat Balanced

STBC    Engineering    Reroutes    Stable      5/2/5 Combat Balanced

Output

• Phasers: 20.0km
• Engines: 2,000kph
• Shields: 5.0x

Reroutes

• 1st level shields are rerouted to engines to boost engine power from 1,000kph to 2,000kph
• 2nd level is a "swing route": not rerouted initially, but can be rerouted to boost phasers or shields as needed (causing overloads) without reducing engine power
• 3rd and 4th level engines are rerouted to shields to boost shield strength to 5x
• 5th level shields (unused) are rerouted back to engines to prevent shields from overloading

Notes

• "5/2/5" gives the effect of a 5/2/5 allocation, but it is actually a 5/1/4 Combat Offense allocation with reroutes to boost engines and shields
• Torpedo dodging will be difficult with 2,000 in engines
• The reroutes are stable and will not overload; power levels will not drop
• Additional reroutes can be made to phasers or shields, if needed, to boost them (at the cost of system overloads), to create configuration such as 5+/1/4 (phasers overloaded beyond 20km) and 5/1/4+ (shields overloaded beyond 5x)
