As somewhat being pointed out - EPS console is highly play-style dependent now, rather than the "must have" console it used to be.

Hit and Run Escort - I do not know if I would call it a "must-have" but it is very very close. You are going to be switching from weps to run and occasionally to shield (refill your shields) quite a bit.

Orbiting Tank Cruiser Build - Better to use the defensive console - pick either a defense hull console, or the 35% shield one. I have also used the +7 shield power and was happy with it. If you are an engy, you will have to tweak some power settings, so you can have a settings for when you have your Capt EPS power skill up, and when you do not. Otherwise, you will be wasting quite a bit of power.

Sci Ships - I am considering this for my up and coming Sci ship build, as I find I am changing from weps to a modified balance setting quite a bit.
