Ground combat blows indeed. That's why you do fabrication specialist and let all your little spawns (especially those quantum mortar IIIs with a purple explosives expert proc) do the work for you.

As for which Oddy I use? I use all 3 but for STFs I tend to run in the Tac Oddy with the chevron sep console. Combine that with the 3 tactical console slots and 4 engi console slots, it can do some serious damage output while still having great survivability.

If you want my build, I can post it up.
