Had a great day euro nymphing the other day. It's runoff season and the flows are ridiculous. Having to fish in that foot zone from the bank and caught a grand slam of trout with a bunch of rainbow, a brown and a brook, maxing out around 15 inches. Hooked into 3 different fish that were well over 20, but being the wise beasts that make it to that size, they knew how to fight and I lost each one real quick. They would immediately jump into the main current and it would take them down river so fast. Where I was fishing has a lot of trees and dangerous banks where I couldn't follow them downstream. Now that I am actually catching fish successfully during runoff, now I want to learn how to fight properly during runoff. I was trying my best to keep them out of the current, but that means right on the bank, and the one I was able to keep there, quickly wrapped up in some stick debris, and the fly popped out and stuck in a branch instead.
Any recommendations on what to do in this scenario? Is it just one of the challenges of runoff where there isn't much to be done? Almost made me want to go back to barbed hooks temporarily. I normally play them for a while to tire them out, alternating side pressure. Let them run, reel, let them run, reel. However if I let them run even for a second, they were gone, but keeping that level of tension would just pop the fly out. Taking any suggestions!

This post is the final part of this story. Sorry it has taken so long to get through. And I'm not sure I even understand all of it yet. If you're new, this all started here. The previous part (Part 7) is here. Thank you to everyone who followed along.
-----
“Do you see her?” I asked in a meek voice.
“You mean that girl in black?” Harvey answered.
It was her, in the flesh. Her lips parted and formed a malevolent smile. Her dark eyes fixed on mine. My legs turned to solid lead. My feet refused to move. The anxiousness to reach Parker and Juliet and Beth in the cellar crumbled like the wood turning to ash behind us. She demanded my attention.
A hand rocked my shoulder. Harvey. I pushed him away.
“You have to go. Help them. I’ll take care of her.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll be right behind you.”
A mirage of Harvey flitted past Ally and disappeared into the kitchen. Everything blurred, everything but her.
She tilted her head to one side and bridged the gap between us with four slow and deliberate steps. She pushed her right hand out from a long sleeve and ran the black painted nail of her index finger across my cheek, the smooth lacquer cold against my skin. I shuddered as the chill spread like ice creeping up a window.
“It is such a shame to be losing you so soon. We’ve only just met, and yet I feel like we’ve known each other our whole lives. Do you feel it too?”
I shook my head. “Let me go.”
“We’re past that now Sam. I considered if we could coexist, you and I. It gave me a thrill knowing there is another one out there like me. But you insist on meddling with my work.”
“You mean locking all those girls in that filthy dungeon where they met their end? And Jane here.”
“The work is sometimes unpleasant.”
“But the pay is good?”
“This isn’t about money Sam. You and I are the same. The pain you felt from not fitting in. The lonely nights lying awake, wishing you could be like everyone else. The stares and the whispers. The rejection from those who are supposed to love us the most. I too know. But where you hid, I searched out a path where my talents were appreciated and rewarded. You don’t hate me Sam. You hate yourself for not thriving like I have.”
“Thriving? Is that what you call it?”
“By all measures yes. I am good at what I do. The best. The only. Or so I thought. And then there is you. A naïve, sheltered little boy who can barely put on his own pants in the morning. It is such a shame. And these so-called friends of yours, that was always doomed to failure. Oh and if you harbour any thoughts of them escaping, know that we blocked the little secret entrance the stable boy showed you. There’s no escape except through the fire. When they pick through the ashes of this building they will find their bones, and yours. Is this how you imagined it turning out?”
I flexed the muscles in my legs, but they refused to move. Ally smiled.
“It’s useless now Sam.”
I heard the faint whisper of Juliet’s voice in my head. She pleaded with me. Come on Sam, you can do this. I remembered the last encounter with Ally, outside the wall separating Windhaven Manor from the world. Ally had put me in the white room. I had broken free. I had overcome her power once. I had to do it again.
I took a deep breath in through my nose and cried out and willed my feet to move. Electricity coursed through my body and I directed it down to the floor. My left heel separated from the floor and that set the whole thing in motion. The dam burst. I lurched forwards and overbalanced and sprawled to the floor.
Ally crouched beside me and chuckled. “Some would call it a tragedy for a child to die so soon after learning to walk.”
I looked back towards the front of the house. The fire burned hot. Thick black smoke circled up the huge open space of the gallery. Portraits hanging on the wall bubbled and curled as flames consumed them.
A figure appeared at the foot of the staircase. The spectre of Crown. The goons had dragged his lifeless corpse out of the house, but stood before me was the spirit with unfinished business. The ugliness of his actions showed through now in death. His skin was sallow and wrinkled. His head too big for his body and his teeth yellowed. A grotesque monster made worse by his mortal demise.
Ally whispered in my ear. “He knows it was your meddling that brought about his end. I’ll leave you two alone.”
She brushed my cheek with the back of her hand and stood. As she walked away leather straps materialised out of thin air and pinned my body to the floor.
The spectre of Crown grew before me, swelling in size until he had to crouch to stay below the chandelier. He clenched his fists and with burning red eyes let out a guttural growl that skipped my ears and penetrated directly into my skull.
I tried to pull my hands to my ears but they would not come. It made no difference. The roar coming from Crown stabbed the inside of my head like a thousand daggers. I lifted my head and the growl grew to a scream that ricocheted around the inside of my skull. I couldn’t take much more. It felt as though my head would explode.
Guilt bubbled up and mingled with the fear and I shrank into the floor and wished for it to swallow me. They were down there, the only friends I had known, banging against a locked door denying their escape. I sobbed. I sobbed like I had the night my parents turned from me.
In the pit of my stomach something else grew. A seed of frustration born of a lifetime existing in a world that didn’t make sense. A world where I had no idea who I was and what I could or should do. A world in which I hid. I couldn’t do that now.
Juliet’s voice as clear as day, cutting through the racket of Crown’s scream. Do it Sam. I gritted my teeth and electricity buzzed somewhere deep inside, at first dull and imperceptible, and then amplified and resonating until it peaked into a deafening roar.
Above Crown the bulbs in the chandelier glowed white. He swivelled his head and watched them dumbly.
I concentrated, felt the energy forming an extra limb. Like the arms and legs of a newborn it flailed spasmodically. I fought to control it, to turn it to my will. I focussed on the straps pinning me to the floor. The electricity fed into the straps and turned them hot. For a moment I feared they would scold my skin, and then in a moment of release they split and flung upwards.
I picked myself up off the floor and faced the spectre of Crown. Like a spent boxer throwing one final punch I threw out my hands and screamed, willing Crown to be quiet and be still. Demanding he be so.
The floor shook. The dozens of bulbs in the chandelier shattered. The giant spectre of Crown diminished and the screaming inside my head softened until it was no more. Crown’s eyes opened wide as his mouth stitched together and his arms wrenched behind his back. I flicked my hand like I was swatting a fly and Crown flew into the corner of the room and slumped to the floor.
I bent over and rested my hands on my knees. My muscles ached, like I had run a marathon. Shadows played on the floor. I sucked in air and smoke and spluttered and coughed.
In the hallway the silhouette of Ally. She turned and shook her head. The heat of the fire intensified and crackled at my skin. If we were to make our escape, she could not be here to block us. I straightened and strode towards her.
I cycled furiously through the events of the last few days, searching for something to defeat Ally. I had to do to her what she had done to me. The time for running and breaking her spells was through.
I closed my eyes and concentrated. I stripped away everything except for the two of us. The crackle of the fire replaced with silence. The smell of the smoke disappeared. The heat washed away. One by one I shut down all my senses. When I opened my eyes a monotone room of white. Sterile calm had replaced the burning insides of Windhaven Manor.
Her eyes scanned the room and she giggled. “Cheap tricks won’t get you far,” she said. “And you learned this one from me.”
The white rippled as if the walls were made of water. She was fighting it. I concentrated, focussing all my energy, all my will. The ripples slowed and then stopped.
“You’re a fast learner,” she said. “But I have been doing this for more than a weekend.”
Strips of colour permeated the white. A rectangle of tile appeared on the floor. And then some blue from the curtain. Enough of a smouldering wall to let in some smoke. The acrid smell reached my nose and I spluttered. As each wedge of colour appeared, I filled it back in white. But it was a sinking ship and the pail I held to bail out the water would not be enough.
Ally grunted under her breath. A grunt of frustration. The white room shook and made a sound like a train bearing down.
I had to bind her. I raised my palm and coils of rope rose from the ground and oscillated like snakes around her. She swatted them away and wrenched them from the ground and flung them at my feet, limp and unmoving.
“It won’t be that easy,” she sneered.
My arms jerked behind my back. She bound my wrists and then my ankles. She pursed her lips and blew as if extinguishing a single candle on a birthday cake, and it was enough to send me to the floor. I couldn’t do this on my own. I needed help.
I shut my eyes and concentrated my energy not on my bindings, but on the woods at the back of Windhaven Manor. On the girls who escaped the dungeon and now roamed the forest, watching the house burn from behind the barrier Ally constructed.
I fed the energy coursing through my body into the giant snowdome structure until it burned hot and then like the globes in the chandelier, it cracked and exploded into the night sky. The spirits of the girls watched the shards disappear and then strode towards the Manor.
I turned my attention to the tiny room beside the pantry, where Jane Laughlin lay bound to the bed. I stood beside her and lay my hand on the shackles binding her to the bed. She shuddered as the mask came free from her mouth and then stood as the shackles broke.
I opened my eyes and the white of the room flickered off and then back on again like bad reception on a television. I had to keep the white walls up long enough for them to draw near. For them to be ready when the façade fell. Ally strode towards me, exuding confidence.
“You can’t beat me Sam.”
Ally squeezed her hands into fists and screamed. In a burst of energy she wiped the white room clear and we were back in the burning house. The air was thick with smoke. Behind me a timber beam tumbled from the ceiling and crashed to the floor. The heat and smoke sucked the moisture from my insides and I heaved out a series of coughs.
Ally opened her eyes and smiled. She had bested me. But then they came. The girls from the dungeon and Jane Laughlin surrounded her. The sum total off all the pain and hurt inflicted in this place. Everything Ally had worked to keep hidden from the world.
They lurched at Ally. She raised her hands and pushed them back one by one as they went for her. She spun on the spot, trying to keep them at bay. She could not hold them all back. The sheer weight of numbers overwhelmed. They leaned in and pushed their heads into hers and showed her what those men had done. Made her feel it. The fear and despair and anger of each individual stacked together and Ally crumpled to the floor holding her head.
“Make it stop,” she said.
They kept at her.
Jane Laughlin sidled over to the base of the stairs where Crown sat, bound and with his mouth stitched. She considered him, restrained and helpless on the floor as she had been. He fought with his restraints, and then whimpered, as she had. As I ran for the pantry and the wine cellar, the corridor filled with the muffled sound of his screams.
The door to the cellar stood open and I made the descent of the stairs in three leaps. The enclosed space already full with smoke. At the end of the long corridor leading outside, Parker and Harvey shouldered the door. Juliet and Beth screamed encouragement. The door would not budge.
“We can’t go that way,” I yelled.
They raced back up the long corridor. A sudden rush of emotion bubbled up to the surface. I was so happy to see them all still alive. My lower jaw rattled and my hands shook. I fought to hide it.
Beth reached me first. “Sam, you’re ok.”
I blubbered a response and took in a lung full of smoke. We had to get out.
The fire raged outside the kitchen door. A wave of flame climbed up and spread across the ceiling. A subtle cracking sound from above intensified and a chunk of the upstairs floor came crashing down through the ceiling, blocking the rear door. We couldn’t get out the back. The only way now was back through the house. A ball of flame whooshed through the doorway and I put my arm up too late, my eyebrows wilting in the heat.
We crouched together in the middle of the kitchen, lowering our heads to get the last of the remaining oxygen. Malicious red flames and choking black smoke surrounded us on all sides.
“Where do we go now?” Parker’s words came out between coughs. Tears streaked down his cheeks. Soot covered his brow. I wished I had an answer.
Then he was there, standing over Parker’s shoulder. Leon. With the protective bubble gone, he too was free to come in the Manor.
“The fire has not yet consumed the dining room. But you don’t have long.”
I looked vaguely in the direction of the kitchen door and blinked back the stinging from the smoke. “I don’t think we can find it in this.”
“Follow me.”
I pulled my shirt up over my head. “We have to go. The dining room, we can make it. All together on three.”
I shouted out the numbers, the sound drowned out by the roar of the fire. I grabbed Beth’s hand and yanked her into action. Leon led the way and I kept my eyes on his heels. Together we were a flurry of arms and legs bounding for the dining room. I gritted my teeth against the heat. We burst through the doorway and everything turned orange.
From below the sweater pulled tight down over my hair, I shot a glance over to the floor of the grand gallery where I had left Ally writhing on the floor. She was not there now. Nor were the spectres of the girls.
I followed Leon’s heels into the dining room. The great wooden table smouldered in the centre of the room. Brilliant orange flames consumed the thick curtains. Parker spotted his camera still atop the tripod and set to pulling the camera free before Harvey grabbed his arm and yelled something that sounded like ‘leave it’.
Harvey grabbed one of the heavy chairs with their high backs and velvet cushions and heaved it at the window in the back corner of the room. The chair disappeared into the darkness of the night and Harvey kicked at the glass shards left behind. Parker joined. We piled out the opening.
I drank in the fresh cool air of night, staggering over the narrow path beside the house and to the small strip of grass beyond. Parker collapsed beside me and pulled the laptop out from under his shirt. He tapped at the casing and for a moment a brief smile flashed across his face, but it did not last long. He wiped soot and sweat from his face with shaking hands.
Harvey checked us all in turn, like a parent fussing over their children. We had scrapes and bruises and our skin was red and raw, but we were alright. We had survived. He ran to the front of the house and came back with palms held out by his sides. The man in the black suit, the goons Ponytail and Beanie, and Ally were all gone, along with the black van and the BMW.
Huddled together, we watched the fire consume Windhaven Manor, bright reds and oranges lighting up the windows and thick black smoke tumbling into the purple haze of sky. It was almost morning, the horizon signalling the coming of the sun.
Leon stood apart on the grass. I went to him.
“Thank you for coming back for us.”
He shrugged. “It’s something. It isn’t enough to make up for the rest.”
“You saved our lives. And those girls, they had their chance to meet their tormentors. That’s something too.”
He nodded. “What happens now?”
I turned my head sideways. “I’m still learning how all this works.”
The red of the fire reflected in his eyes. “Me too. I might go for a walk in the woods. I always liked it out there.”
He glided across the lawn and entered the trees and was gone.
The sound of sirens fought with the crackle of the fire. The fire brigade and the police. I got to my feet and shuffled to the front of the Manor. The burnt out carcasses of our cars stood by the low height wall. Black soot smudged the stone façade above the windows and the doors.
By the oak tree on the ocean side of the house stood Jane Laughlin. She peered down into a hole dug at the base of the tree. A pale and withered hand poked up out of the dirt. Her hand. They had meant to remove the body, but had aborted the task and fled.
A fire truck appeared at the head of the driveway and then another. They sped down the gravel and came to a sliding stop. A lone police car followed. Harvey sidled over.
Jane looked to the horizon. Out on the cliff edge stood a figure in a red dress. She recognised her sister Kylie immediately and ran down the slope. The two sisters embraced in the first light of the sun. I turned to the whoosh of water through a hose from the fire trucks and when I turned back, the Laughlin sisters were gone.
The members of The Séance Club, which I now consider myself a part, sat together on the low-height stone wall as the firefighters extinguished the flames consuming Windhaven Manor. The house was quiet now. The nausea and vibration I had felt that first night replaced with calm.
The police stripped the compound clean for the best part of a week. They identified Kyle the sketch artist and Hugo from the teeth that survived the fire of the hovel built over the dungeon. Hugo’s wife lay on the back lawn where Beanie and Ponytail had left her. But as to specific evidence of the crimes that occurred, they could not find enough to put a case together.
The two fires and the disappearance of Crown made some headlines, but there wasn’t enough to hang anyone else. The police claimed publicly that there was no link between the fire at Windhaven Manor and the fire at the squalid residence over the back fence. At Harvey’s behest they searched the area with cadaver dogs for the remains of the girls, but they found nothing.
Parker turned his laptop over to the police. They identified the two goons, Ponytail and Beanie, low level thugs who had disappeared from the streets years earlier. Those in the know presumed them dead. It made tracing them almost impossible. Tracing their vehicles lead to a dead end.
The man in black the suit on the other hand might as well be a ghost. On him they found nothing. They have a face, but nothing else.
As for Ally, the girl somehow managed to always turn her face away from the cameras, as if she knew where they were.
I sat in a small room at the police station for three days with Harvey putting the pieces together. He showed me a photograph of an old and gaunt man with a bent back, the last owner of Windhaven Manor before it was sold after his death. He had to be the man with the bent back from the ceremony in the dungeon, but I could not be certain. I never saw his face. Of the faces I did see, we knew Crown and Kyle and Hugo, but the others were harder to pinpoint.
At the end of it all Harvey sighed. There was nothing more we could do. But we could rest on the knowledge that the key players in the ceremony were all now dead.
Questions nagged at me. Where was Ally and what was she doing? Would she try to find me? Who was she working for?
That was the biggest question of all. Who was at the top and pulling the strings? Harvey wasn’t giving up. He was a dog with a bone at the best of times, and now he had a taste of blood. He refused to go back to the police even after Crown’s departure, which he described as the removal of a cancerous limb.
Harvey called me after the dust settled on everything. I told him that the trail had gone cold and I had no idea where Ally was. For all I knew she had evaporated into thin air. Harvey thought it unlikely, and I agreed. He told me it was time for some old-fashioned detective work. The names of the goons would be a start.
And there was something else Harvey mentioned, something that I had almost forgotten. He had always believed that his investigation into the disappearance of the girls was the reason one of his colleagues was murdered. Crown confirmed as much in the bedroom right before he was shot. Harvey thinks there is something to it. Another thread to pull, and he has a hunch. For now he’s keeping his cards close to his chest until he has some proof. I almost pressed him on the issue but decided I’d rather put it all behind me.
The story made headlines in the local press for a while, but ultimately it fizzled into a non-story, quickly forgotten by a public with a short attention spans. We all waited for a reckoning from within the police ranks, but it never came. Harvey predicted that’s the way it would go, and he was proven right.
The one item they did recover was a gold necklace with a heart pendant. The necklace Jane Laughlin wore the night of her death. The police found it where the black van had parked. After a few days in the possession of the police, Harvey arranged to have the necklace released to the family of its former owner.
The following day Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin appeared on the local news, thanking the efforts of those who recovered the remains of their daughter. It was closure, though not the kind they had hoped for. Both their girls were dead.
A week later The Séance Club convened in Beth’s apartment. Parker and Juliet were already there when I arrived. It was cathartic to talk about the events at Windhaven Manor, to compare stories and scars. I guess that’s why they have the saying about a problem shared.
After a brief silence, Beth asked, “Are you going to talk to the parents of Jane and Kylie?”
I shook my head. “What will I tell them?”
“That their daughters found each other out by the cliff edge.”
“And what about the agony of their deaths? Should I tell them that too? Besides, it doesn’t feel right. None of this feels right to me yet. And what weight do my words hold over those of some Priest talking about how he knows their souls are at rest.”
“Because you really do know.”
I shrugged. “I can’t prove any of it.”
Truth was I had no idea how to integrate the things I could see and do into my life. From childhood all I had wanted was to be like everyone else. For people not to stare or whisper as I walked by. To find acceptance. Sitting with my three new friends at Beth’s tiny kitchen table, with our shared experience behind us, I finally had it. This could be the start of something.
Parker was already planning the next Séance Club trip. An abandoned farm up north with mysterious sightings going back centuries. Juliet was already on board. I told them to wait. I couldn’t jump back in right away.
I was the last to leave, Beth and I sipping mug after mug of coffee and sharing comfortable silence. When I sighed and told her I should go, she grabbed my arm.
“I’ve never had a real family, and then I found Juliet and Parker. The Séance Club became my family. Whatever happens we are there for each other. And we mean it when we say we want you to join.”
I thought about that all night, unable to sleep.
The next morning I called Parker.
An abandoned farm up north you say?
* * * *
I navigated to the narrow alley and checked the time. The Exchange should be open. It looked out of context in the Saturday morning light. No bright light spilling from the window. No surge of Friday night after work traffic.
I slipped in the front door. A lone man lifted upturned stools down from the bar. He had his back to me and I crept across the hardwood floor in the direction of the stairs down and the bathrooms.
The vibration swelled in my chest, but I did not fear it. A dull pain rose in the base of my skull, but I gritted my teeth. A man wearing a pair of rough leather shoes came from the other end of the corridor and stopped before me.
“Are you here to help?”
I nodded.

Power went out for neighborhood and before I knew that I flipped a few circuits at a rental house. Power is restored to neighborhood but still not to house. Did I do something wrong?

What is +EV betting. tldr, one of the only ways to be profitable in the long term betting on home runs since home run lines are usually juiced to the tits. You basically are trying to find sportsbooks and markets that have mispriced odds in the bettors favor. You aren't looking into stats, pitching matchups, weather, or ballpark rankings. As ActionNetwork puts it

EV betting is not about what you think will happen, but about an advantage you have over the implied probabilities of bets by using lines and information sportsbooks are already giving you

I use a devigger to remove the sportsbooks vig and to calculate +EV against a sharp book like bet365. I choose bet365 because it has one of the lowest vigs on home runs out of all sportsbooks and is widely popular. This is what the smartest people look for in the dinger tuesday threads to ensure profitability over the long-term.
These aren't guarantees, these guys are NOT likely to home run on a given day, but if you take enough +EV plays over a long period of time, you should end up profitable. My record since starting posting: 13W-49L (+17.40u)
My Picks (I take all +EV plays for $5. I'm posting the odds I got them at...make sure to check odds because lines move fast on fanduel HRs)
13.7% EV: KC Mj Melendez +520 FD vs bet365 +360/-500. Implied = 18.3% 7.0% EV: COL Nolan Jones +800 FD vs bet365 +550/-850. Implied = 11.9% 1.5% EV: NYY Aaron Judge +230 FD vs bet365 +200/-245. Implied = 30.7%
All updated EVs combined with negative EV plays close to 0 (I don't bet if negative EV but they have the chance of becoming +EV with a slight odds change, so keep on radar)
updated: 11:00AM EST

So I've finally bought my own place that needs renovation and even though I already created a model in sketchup (here are some screenshots of it https://imgur.com/a/pophM1N), I can't figure out what to do with the kitchen and am wondering in general if there are any better solutions than planned in a model.
A little about us:

• 2 ppl are going to live here.
• We have a dog.
• At this moment only one person is working from home but to futureproof it, it would be great to have space for a second workplace. (I don't know where to put it though)
• We love outdoors, so need storage for some camping/fishing gear (planned to use some space in entry/bedroom closet)
• Need a place to put synthesizer (planning to store and use it by the dog bed in the living room)
• We try to have as little things as necessary but still need some storage space so everything has a place:

This is how it is now: https://imgur.com/3vXZFsW and this is the model we made in sketchup: https://filebin.net/dvm74dfs3m2k4hl7 with some screenshots of the model itself: https://imgur.com/a/pophM1N (same link as at the top)
As with the kitchenm I plan on putting everything in such order:

1. Fridge
2. Dishwasher
3. Corner cabinet with sink (in the corner)
4. Kitchen cabinet
5. Induction stove
6. 15cm wide cabinet with a bin

On top i will probably put some more cabinets with a microwave and for the pantry but I wonder where should I store pans and pots (we have 3 pans and 3 pots). Right now my best bet is to use the space beneath the counter that would go up to the bar counter where would be the dining area but I'm not sure.
Do you guys have any ideas on what we could do to make this apartment cosy and practical so that everything has it's place

I'm attempting to shop for a 1440p monitor. I don't really want to spend more than $300, maybe 400, seeings I just spent near 2k on a new pc build. My primary use case is in creative and productivity work. I do a lot of digital sculpting, blender, photoshop, working with vectors, etc, bordering the game dev workflows, but at a hobbyist level, as well as stickers and little things for my etsy shop's branding + cricut stuff.
However, I already have a wide-gamut 100%+ sRGB drawing pen tablet display. It's probably not calibrated correctly, but it has potential to be accurate.
Originally I wanted something with color accuracy. However, now I think it might be more important to get something that is easier on my eyes. I find myself stopping my screen time due to eye strain. I heard that higher refresh rates may help with eye strain. Is this true?
I also may game some as well, but likely to be less than 10-15% of my goal here.
I'm finding myself between a few monitors. The ASUS proart PA278QV, the LG 27GL83-B, or the KTC H27T22. The main differences are going to be the proart 75 hz, LG 144hz, and the KTC 165hz. The proart will have true colors, and the others wont - but if they are easier on the eyes it would be a plus for me.
I think the KTC isn't very well known, but I actually am familiar with the chinese OEM they come from (I believe Cyberpower PC uses/d them to make their laptops).
So if you read this far, any suggestions or experience for me? Thank you

Price History

This Support build's most recent outing was in u/Jayiie's 1mil DPS SS Hydra run. However, there is still quite a bit of room for improvement here, and I thought I'd share it in its current form both for feedback purposes and to satisfy my curiosity on its cost.
Build cost info will be shown in estimated real world dollar values, using the approximated conversion rates in the table below. The final cost estimate represents the amount it would take for a brand new player to copy this build right away as of today. (Disclaimer: Do not do this, it is a terrible use of hard-earned money)
If anyone needs help figuring out some of the abbreviations used in this post, feel free to ask, or use tools like VGER: https://vger.netlify.app/

In-game item/currency	In-game amount	Approx. EC cost as of 7-May-23 (if applicable)	Approx. Real World Cost (USD)	Assumptions
Zen	100		$1.00	Not counting bonus Zen from bundles nor discounts.
Master Key	1	12,000,000	$1.25	Not counting bundled keys, for simplicity.
EC	1,000,000	1,000,000	$0.10	12mil EC/key on the Exchange.
Refined Dilithium	10,000		$0.20	Exchange rate of 500 Refined Dil to 1 Zen.
Lobi crystal	10		$2.50	Average of 5 Lobi Crystals per Lockbox opened. Not counting the goodies from said lockboxes.
Reputation Marks	50		$0.01	Using Rep project to convert 50 regular Marks to 500 Dilithium.
Elite Marks	3		$0.02	Using Rep project to convert 3 Elite Marks to 1,000 Dilithium.
Fleet Credit	10,000		$0.20	Uses the terrible conversion rate of 1 Dil = 1 FC
C-Store ship	1		$30.00	Not counting sales.
Lobi ship	1	320,000,000	$33.33	~300mil EC per Lobi ship on Exchange.
Epic Phoenix T6 ship	1		$80.00	Assuming a 1/1000 (0.1%) chance for an Epic Token, and 40k Dil for 10 Phoenix Packs. RNGesus may greatly vary, of course. (It was more like 1/2190 for me)
Lockbox ship	1	1,200,000,000	$125.00	~1.2bil EC per Lockbox ship via Exchange.
Promobox ship	1	1,700,000,000	$177.08	~1.7bil EC per Promo ship via trade.

Captain Details

Captain Name	Jill Stingray
Captain Career	Engineering	SUBOPTIMAL. Tact is the preferred Career for Support due to team-wide damage boosts. Sci also has better utility due to Subnuke Beam. The only utility Engi has here is EPS Power Transfer.
Captain Faction	Federation
Captain Race	Human	SUBOPTIMAL. Should be Alien for the extra personal trait slot.
Primary Specialization	Temporal	SUBOPTIMAL. Intelligence as Primary is better for Intel Fleet. But until they implement loadouts for Captain Specs, I will stick with Temp+Strat for all my builds.
Secondary Specialization	Strategist	SUBOPTIMAL. Temporal should go here instead, for Atrophied Defenses.

Space Skill Tree

Rank	Engineering		Science		Tactical
Lieutenant		Advanced Hull Capacity			Advanced Energy Weapon Training	Advanced Projectile Weapon Training
Lt. Commander	Improved EPS Flow	Improved Impulse Expertise	Improved Control Expertise	Improved Drain Expertise	Advanced Targeting Expertise
Commander					Advanced Weapon Amplification	Advanced Weapon Specialization

Admiral	Warp Core Efficiency				Coordination Protocols	Improved Tactical Readiness

0 Points Left	10		10		26

Space Skill Tree comment: My current generalist skill tree. SUBOPTIMAL and I'd suggest benchmarking this one instead: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903023278703140915/903067938872000532/casualsabskilltree.png
I would retrain if doing so did not also break all my saved loadouts...

	Unconventional Systems	Using Control Bridge Officer Abilities reduces the cooldown of all Universal Consoles by 7%.	Very important to get multiple uses out of all my console clickies in the course of an ISE/HSE.	50mil EC	5.21
Starship Traits	Superior Area Denial	Beams: Fire At Will & Cannon: Scatter Volley Debuff Foes And Apply To Pets	Extra -30 DRR, stacks with SAD from teammates.	1x Lockbox ship	125.00
	Redirecting Arrays	While Beam: Fire-at-will Is Active, Receiving Any Damage Grants 0.33 Sec Duration To Fire-at-will (15 Sec Total Duration Maximum)	Not as good an extender as ETM, but I am lazy to switch it up depending on whether the DPSer needs all the CF3 to themselves.	1x C-Store ship	30.00
	One Impossible Thing at a Time	To Self and Team: -5% Recharge Time on Captain Abilities (Max once every 5 sec)	Partly helps the team, but mostly helps myself use EPS Power Transfer more often, as this Support build does not have quite enough crit for IAA.	1.5mil EC	0.16
	Carrier Wave Shield Hacking	When your ship uses a Tractor Beam or Intel Power on an enemy, it knocks an enemy's shields offline for 5 seconds.	Parting Gift would also work as filler for DEW support.	1.5mil EC	0.16
	Electrified Anomalies	Your Boff Anomalies Deal Electrical Damage & Grant Power Boosts	Mostly for the power boost to allies, which is already being fulfilled by Greater Than The Sum. Might replace this with Digital Compilation instead.	17k Zen Mudd's Store	170.00

	Matter-Antimatter Specialist (Very Rare)	+25 CtrlX for 30s upon Emergency Power to Engines.	From Exchange. For a bit more pull for the Grav Well.	10mil EC	1.04
	Demera	Chance to create up to four additional Gravity Wells near the end of the duration of any Gravity Well activated.	DOFF assignment reward. SUBOPTIMAL. 27 of 47 would be superior, but expensive.	Free from DOFF assignment reward	0.00

Subsystem Power Allocation

Subsystem Power Settings	Value (Target/Display)	Notes
Weapons	71 / 60	So as to not steal too much DPS with my weapons. Though between Electrified Anomalies and Greater Than The Sum, everyone's power levels should be almost always capped out.
Shields	79 / 60	Affects the extra damage to Shields from Tilly's
Engines	50 / 20	Effectively 70 due to EPTE1.
Auxiliary	80 / 60	Affects the -DRR magnitude from Ionic Turbulence

Remarks on Total Approx. Real World Cost

Roughly 1.2k USD for this build. Making this pretty much as expensive as an uber-meta DPS build. Little wonder then that there aren't more Support players around.
