So at about the time of this post, I was logged on to my Ferengi scientist.
I had bought the fleet science vessel retrofit (as you may remember from one of Voyager's encounters)
Here are screen shots of both my equipment build, and my skill points. Maybe you guys can tell me what helped me tank that cube in Khitomer elite just now
(please note, I didn't have ANY batteries when I withstood that cube's attacks)

nothing special where the doffs are concerned. But its what I can afford at the moment

Thanks for this, I'll be reading through it all when I find the time.

When you're using double AP DOffs I recommend playing cautiously. They're a powerful tool but you should resist the urge to hit APO/D just because they're off cooldown.

ah right I forgot to mention which doffs i had equipped.....i'll post that in a few minutes

oh here's my thread, a sticky now. it kinda seems like when threads get stickied its a slow death, they don't get noticed like unstikied threads, at least by me. i just have to keep it going, me never updating it does a good job killing it. on almost all my builds, i plan on updating them next, theres a few changes i would make on almost all of them. at some point.

It's your thread, if you want it unstickied at any point just send us a PM!

stickied?? what does that mean?

its fine were it is, i will simply buck the trend!

go to the pvp section, you can see this thread displayed at the top, its pined there and doesn't need to be bumped to be displayed

oh wow....i should probably do that with my vital rp threads.

today i did something with the thread! massive updates, id post links to the ones i changed, but i just realized i made changes to every single one of mine. so go check them out in the table of contents!
