My other tactical captain is trying out tetryon weapons and quantum torpedoes. So far they are working okay even with the slight nerf. So what should I stick with for this captain, and when leveling her.

Stick with Phaser arrays and Quantum torpedoes. 3 arrays front, 3 arrays back, 1 quant front 1 in back. The Phasers have the nice subsystem disable proc which can help 'expose' your enemy. See below

These abilities are mostly science related. You won't have much room for Sci abilities on your Exc-R. I would put some points into emitters and hazards and call it done. Haz Emit and Polarize Hull can help your defense quite a bit.

So for DPS I would focus on Eject Warp Plasma. Try to get EWP3 on your TAC. I think one of the Engine engineering skills will improve the skill. In any case, if you put points into engines it will allow you to be better set up when you need to 'spread the cloud'
Also, if you are using Phasers the subsystem disable proc can bring down ship shields while they are trying to get out of the plasma cloud. Also, its nice when the engine subsystem proc hits as well while they are trying to get out
Anyway, my 2 EC. Good luck !
