Is there a how-to or a best way to hold-aggro or generate threat in Space? I'm not seeing any real good Engineer or Boff skills that would steal and keep aggro for me, though I see a couple placate related options. If I'd like to hold aggro for my friends in my big shiny cruiser, what's the best way to go about it?

Do loads of damage, heal a lot, be the first into battle, and have 9 points in aggro control from the tac tree.

In PvP, be a troll in chat.

The most 'outspoken' captains usually are not the biggest threats in range. They spend too much time typing.

I forgot to list debuffs above. Sucking energy out of a cube or disabling subsystems is not the most welcome action.
