If you were a sci and had a Galor-class cruiser, how would you equip the Galor, and what BOFF powers would you use?

Please go easy on the acronyms; I'm new to the forums and not used to the way people abbreviate various powers.

Thanks!

You could use this thread very well (glossary of acronyms included):

The acronym list helps.

So, what would be a good build? Note: I should have access to Fleet weaponry, as I've been saving up my credits and may be able to kit out my ship with that...the weapons at least.

My suggestion is get rid of it and get yourself a Federation Starship, have you never heard of friendly fire?

I don't fly cruisers, but I hear aux to battery builds are nice, and since I wanted to help I gave a try at building one for a galor:

* Most players will tell you to never run 8 energy weapons, as it will drain way too much weapons power. For instance, 8 spiral waves will drain 80 weapons power per cycle. However with the exact above skill set, ship loadout, and the attack preset, you should have a base 130 weapons power (if you have are in a galor), and EptW and AtB will buff you even farther over that. This means your 8 spiral waves will kick ass.
