KDF engineer - looking for advice

Hi,
Just looking to perfect this build.

Currently flying a Vor'cha retrofit and was looking at the Marauder cruiser. Does anyone have any experience with that? Is it any good? Why is nobody using it?
Any advice on other tier 5 ships I should look at? Carriers look like sci ships, so meh, also not enough engineering boffs. B'rel bop may be too squishy. Certainly looks like pvp oriented. Guramba, not a cruiser, looks like TRIBBLE, not enough engineering boff skills. Upcoming Bortas, no idea. Certainly too expensive. Do not have the free version, so I really have no idea how it performs.

This is my current build

please DO share opinions on it. The boff skills are also displayed. The devices are what I should have, but I don't, for now.

Loadout is 3x disruptor beam array + quantums fore
3x disruptor beam array + hargh'peng aft
positron deflector, resilient shield, combat engines
eng consoles: 2x +weapon power, 2x +shield power
sci consoles: shield regen, shield emitter (35%)
tac consoles: disruptor coil
Running at 75/75/25/25 power levels.

I have not done ANY story missions so far, just the tutorials and repeated 4 dailies, Officer reports, Need Breathing Space and the academy Lore missions. And a lot of doffing. And yes, I got Lt. General in 5 days with that. No real combat experience, no real missions done, but I'm a high ranking officer already...

    The Marauder is pretty decent, It has the same setup as a star cruiser and has a good selection of fighters to with it. On mine i have 2 arrays, a beam bank and a torp up front, 3 beam arrays and torp in the back and don't seem to have too many problems. On my vor'cha refit i run an array, 2 dual hvys and a torp up front, an array, 2 turrets and a torp in back. That ships more like an escort in its play style.

    Try going into one of the expanse missions, pvp or borg encounters, it REALLY helps you figure out a play style, same with ground missions.
