Just activate one of the other powers after activating Omega to get another cooldown reduction.

I could change APO1 into CRF2, but then I will have an Extra Tac slot to use.

I could used it for BO2, or use it for THY2, but I don't have anything specced into Torpedo damage increasing or crit increasing.

What should I do?

Use Beta when you have a really good angle on your target and he has no TT up.

Switch it up and use Delta on a teammate if you aren't being focused, or on yourself if you are.

You have so many options now.

I took your collective advice and dumped in APD, and it does work a treat. Thanks guys!

Plus, EPtE is really helpful. It certainly seems better than having the 2nd EPtS.

Also, as a by the by, does anyone know what KDF attack would disable 3 of your subsystems straight away? Twice now I've been hit by something (only when in a match against the spam-dropping KDF) that's immediately taken 3 of my subsystems offline, and pretty much led to my demise shortly thereafter.

Well, after trying to get to grips with sci in PvP, and learning more than that via the Boot Camp, I decided to revist my oldest character, my tac and her Bug.

My main question is; what's wrong with this build? I do keep dying very very quickly in a match, especially compared to other Bugs I've seen in action. Plus. my damage doesn't seem to be that good... Any pointers?

Skillpoint spec here.

Fore weapons: 2x Polaron DHC [Acc]x2 [CrtD], 2x Polaron DHc[Acc]x2 [CrtH]
Rear weapons: 2x Polaron Turret [Acc]x2 [CrtD], 1x Polaron Turret [Acc]x2 [CrtH]

Deflector: Borg Mk XI
Engines: Borg Mk XI
Shield: MACO Mk XI

Eng consoles: Assimilated Console, Ablative Armour Mk XII, Neutronium Mk XI, Neutronium Mk XI

Sci: Field Generator Mk XII

Tactical: 3x Polaron Phase Modulator Mk XI, 2x Polaron Phase Modulator Mk X

So, is there anything intrinsically wrong with this build, or am I just bad at piloting? I do have keybinds set up (including the standard one from the Hilbert Guide for the spacebar), so I'm not clicking through powers, and I have a bind for APA/FOMM/TT/Tac Fleet/Go Down Fighting to 'alpha up' just prior to an attack run.

Edit: My DOffs; 2x Damage Control Engineers, 2x Shield Distribution Officers (BFI), 1x Hamlet (TT)
