Nope. Alpha is Tac Captain only, Beta and Delta start at LT and omega at LTC.

Third Tac Team? Unless you're joking, you've wasted an ensign slot. Two tac teams is optimal, because when you hit one, the other(s) go on a 15 second cooldown. Any more than two, and it's a waste. I have two rounds of Tac Team, Cannon: Scatter, and Torpedo Spread, plus Cannon: Rapid. Makes for an excellent build.

I would assume the third tactical team is there due to there being no other choice for an all-cannon build.

Third tac team is for when you are sub nuked all to heck, and don't have a tactical initiate up.

With a couple maintenance Doffs, team skills can be brought down to 15 seconds (which means more then one of a type is a waste) opening the other slots for target subsystems or torpedo skills.

The MVAM is fine as it is. Its probably the best stf escort there is to be honest..

Oh well, just a thought. I really wish they had an Ensign level Cannon ability, and probably cruiser captains do as well.

Thats why I run one Beam Array in the rear of my Fleet Escort. I use beam overload I for when I have to turn after I made my strafing pass.

The 3rd Tactical Ensign slot is to be used for Take Your Child to Work Day. If you do not have a child, you might consider using your pet rock in that station.

Something else they could do, maybe, is make more interesting, useful Space Tactical Ensign skills like ...I dunno, Turrets: Fire at Will/Target Subsystems/Overload maybe??

It's almost like they're suggesting we put beams on this ship. How do I say this ...hell no. Heavy Cannons and Turrets go on an Escort.
