Hi All,
Just after some opinion as to this build, I have a joined trill engineer. Mostly flying cruisers (Odyssey/Dreadnaught). I mostly do pve and not in a fleet (as yet)

Sci Team 1 and Polarise Hull 2 are bad, try Polarise Hull 1 and Sci Team 2 or Hazard Emitters 2 since you have only engineering team to heal your hull and that shares a cooldown with 2 other teams.
Your a Cruiser with 6 ranks of Threat Control, only a single copy of Emergency Power to Shields and your using both Tetryon and Phasers according to what you have ticked. Not to mention your a tank and your taking Jam Sensors? The whole point of threat control is so everything is shooting at you.
What weapons are you running, what consoles are you running?
I would drop the Lt.Com Tactical for an Engineer if you intend to tank, and if your not drop threat control.
Tank build.
EPtS1 > RSP1 > Extend Shields > Aux2SIF3
EPtS1 > X > DEM2
PH1 > TBR1
HE1
TT1 > FAW2
X is an optional, anything but Boarding Party could go there, I currently run an ET2 because it's sometimes useful.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
Just making some adjustments now.
I am running 6 beams, fore/afk and 2 torpedoes.
also, a single cannon+turrets is a higher dps build for cruisers, but thats my opinion. if you like beams keep them.
one spread is enough, take instead another FAW and a APOmega1
forget bording party
you need to have TSS and HE somewhere (use TSS1+HE1 and get a tractor beam repulsor, the repulsor is heaviely supported by the maco deflector or borg deflector+23 graviton gens on the borg console, which is a must have. If you skill 6 points into graviton generators+the set, this repulsor deals serious dmg over time)
http://home.comcast.net/~amicus/Skill%20Point%20Effects.htm thats the list, showing you why it is not necessary to skill into the red part of the skills.
This is where I am now...

Also your running threat control on what appears to be a DPS cruiser? Build a Tank or drop Threat Control it's only going to be a waste of skill points for DPS and that build doesn't support tanking IMO.

RSP1 should be the only RSP worth taking.
Aux2Sif 3 should take the place of RSP3
Repulsors are very situational.
Anything else would be my own preference.
try this as a tank build for PVE.
if you want DPS, you should use a tactical captain, or put your engi captain in an escort.
if you must go with a cruiser for DPS (which is a waste in my opinion) use atleast the ltcmdr slot as a tactical and go all beams without any torpedos, or single cannons with quantums front and turrets rear.
Repulsors are highly situational, but I would always take them into a Fleet Blockade because it's one of the best powers you can have there. Maybe get another Sci BOFF with something else.

I know it's not perfect, but for tanking, it works great.
It's the same layout for Ody's.
My Fed Eng was using something similar, but I'm always testing out new builds with him.
(my main).
It's not going to be CC or serious damage. It puts out respectable damage for a cruiser, and can take a hell of a beating while keeping aggro.
Also, one could drop engineering team for extend shields if needed.
I always try to use Ext3 when tanking for teams.
It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it :P
Ground, I left what you had.
Hope that's somewhat helpful
