It seems to me that since the change to consoles armour tankers are left out with no useful consoles to use in the sci slots. I used to use Halon System to boost Hazard Emitters but that console now gives a bonus to Power Insulators which is useless to us. Can we even boost Hazerd Emitters anymore? What’s a good console to use?
(The above is written from the prospective of an Eng pilot flying cruisers)
It also seems trans torps are completely useless now Plasma torps have been buffed and do more hull damage. Trans torps used to be sort of ok before but now why would anyone use them?
You think you have it bad as an Eng/ Cruiser? Try being a Sci and having very few consoles that affect your skill in a meaningful way. At least the 4 Eng consoles you have are useful, my 4 Sci consoles are certainly not as useful as they once were.
Well... as it has been said, hull repair helps and is my sci console of choice, too.
Also... is you use any... you can put the universal consoles into the sci slots (and at least the Borg console is IMO still worth using)
And just to troll a little:
You can also get that Jem'Hadar bug... It has just one of that sci slots, more engi slots and is amazingly cheap!
Just 100 Cp. Well may be 400 times 100 CP to get it, but it ultimatly costs just 100 CP. Great, isnt it? ^^

I did look at the Jem'Hader ship as it looks to have the perfect slot layout but I am going to wait for the Xmess C store sales which I will assume we will get. That and I might get very lucky with the free daily boxes. So far I settled for two universal consoles in the sci slots.
Biofunction and the one that gives bonus's to Transfer Shield strength are about all I'd use. Maybe the graviton one if you are using a ship with a tractor beam, and of course the Assimilated Console in a sci slot.
