After a couple of iterations, I pieced together a Eng Cap/Sci Ship build that I really like. Good for PvP + PvE. Pardon for not having all of the levels on-hand, but the descriptions should give you an idea of what it can do and how to play it.

Very little systems overlap, so global cooldowns are basically a non-issue. The build is basically a Sci-based dogfighter.



Recon Science
===============

Offense - Sci
------------------
Tychons Rift III
Tractor Beam
Feedback Pulse
Charged Particle Burst
Photonic Shockwave


Offense - Tac
-------------------
Torp - High Yield
Torp - Spread
Fire at Will


Healing
----------
Eng Team
Hazard Emitters
Emergency to Shields II
Rotate Shield Freq (captain)




Gear
-------
5 Polaron Beam Arrays set to autofire
1 forward facing RapidFire Transphasic torpedo (breen)

Tac : 3 polaron consoles

Sci : 3 particle emitters
Sci : 1 shield (+35%)

Eng : 1 turn rate boost
Eng : either Ablative Armor (PvP) or Assimilated Console (PvE) (not firm yet, still experimenting with ablative)


3 pieces of Aegis for Reactive Shielding (it's amazing!)


Note that my captain maxed out Hull integrity and bought a few ticks of Energy Resistance for the Hull. I can hull tank for a fair bit, especially if the Reactive Shielding gets a chance to boot up... the main reason for Ablative and the shield boost. I'm generally of the philosophy of covering your weaknesses, and hull integrity is the main one for the ship.


On approach, unleash a torpedo spread while in Aux mode, drop a Tychen and tractor (keeps them near for draining), hit feedback, then switch to Weapons mode.

Tyken + transphasic + Feedback Pulse allow direct hull hurts even if someone has a ton of shield regen.
Polaron + Tyken and/or shield targetting allows the occasional bare hull abuse.

It's fun.

You are prolly right, it prolly is all over the place (hence the forum topic), still working on it, i will take your advice into consideration when respeccing it 2night,

Cygone, you wrote
How are they that high?

Edit: Nvm, I found your comment in the other thread. You are using Siphon Energy x2.
That sure limits your Science Abilities, but I think the Nebula is more Cruiser than Sci

I'm only using one copy of ES, - ES3

Yeah, thats whay I meant by "x2"
What gear do you use? Have you tried the Been set? I know it isnt the best in terms of shields, but you get a nice boost to Flow Capacitors and a free Energy Siphon I.

That could free up a slot for you.

I did last night pick up 2 parts of the Breen set, and noticed the 3rd bonus, it is something I will possibly look at doin.

For now tho, I removed FBP2 and added Photonic Officer 2, (is thier anyway to increase the effeciancy of PO? - I think its 32% atm),

Using PO in conjunction (back to back) with Tac Initiative, I am getting some good milage out of my Tac abilities (Eng abilites i already have 2 copies of), it almost like running 2 Lt Engineers AND two Lt Tacs,
