STBC    Engineering    Reroutes    Overloaded      5/5/1+ Escape Offense

Output

• Phasers: 19.5km
• Engines: 7,500kph
• Shields: 0.7x

Reroutes

• 1st level engines rerouted to phasers to boost them to 19.5km
• 5th level phasers rerouted back to engines to prevent phasers from overloading
• 1st-4th level shields rerouted to engines to boost engines to 7,500kph

Notes

• 5/5/1+ is 4/5/1 with shield power rerouted to engines, boosting max speed to 7,500kph, at the cost of reducing shield strength from 1.0 to 0.7
• One node is rerouted from engines to phasers to boost phasers to 19.5km, at the cost of reducing max speed from 7,600kph to 7,500kph; that node can be moved back to engines if true max speed of 7,600kph is desired
• Travelling at 5,000kph or above will increase detection range by 10km, so at max speed, enemies can only be engaged undetected with torpedoes between 30-35km
• While phasers cannot be used undetected, 19.5km phaser range gives tactical sufficient range for sweeping mines and other dangerous objects
• Note that if helm increases speed to 4,000kph, detection range will increase from 10km to 20km
• The engines will eventually overload, reducing the max speed boost; phasers are balanced and will not overload
