In my opinion, the Engineering and Science consoles took too large of a hit with the change.
I don't see anyone taking the engineer consoles that grant extra power (Aux, Engine, Weapon, Shield), as they only give 3.5 energy bonus. That bonus is way to small.
The science consoles are in the same boat. a +5.8, etc. is too drastic of a change from a +18
I think doubling some of the engineer and science consoles from their current state would be better.
