Is it so hard for a T5 ship with the following Boff layout?

Don't even care if its not an escort

Cmdr Tactical
Lt Tactical
6 other non-tactical Boff Slots

or

Lt. Cmdr Tactical
Lt. Cmdr Tactical
6 other non-tactical Boff Slots


I would buy the ship (with Zen mind you) if it became available in a heartbeat. The closest thing we get is the T4 Tactical Escort for escorts.

Ships that can do this:
BoPs. (But lack 12 Boff Slots)

    It is not hard (as we can see with the Jemmy Bug), but a way to encourage players to think out of the box.
    What it translates to, we all know very well. :/

    The Bug still doesn't have what I want. (Still a useless Tac Doff ability no matter how you roll it). People plug a Torp spread / THY in there and think that they're doing more DPS. But the issue is that they're doing the same exaclt DPS (or possibly lower DPS in a non-PvP situation.) As I don't PvP. I don't see any 'use' to using Torpedoes, when using a combination of DHCs, and DCs can give better results.

    I see an 'optimal' Tac layout for Escorts as:

    TT1 - APB1 - CRF2
    TT1 - APB1 - CRF2

    or

    TT1 - APB1 - CRF2 - CRF3
    TT1 - APB1

    This allows you to have always rotating TT1, APB and CRF. This also allows for a rather unique build I do on my BoP (Only for ESTFs)

    TT1 - APB1 - THY 3
    TT1 - APB1 - THY 3

    or

    TT1 - THY2 - THY3 - APO3
    TT1 - APB1

    This is an amazing Torp only build. Although, useless outside of STFs.

    This now also allows you to have 6 other non-tactical slots, spread across 3 Doffs (As there are usually 3 Doffs per ship. The lesser of the broken setups would be Lt Eng - Lt Sci - Lt Universal

    Then again, Cruisers could also use this if you were willing to use (Regular) Cannons. The Torp build is nice too because It allows you to put all power to Aux and tank like a Cruiser should.

    Sorry, ment the ferengi bug (D'Kora), which actually has a 6engineer/6other layout, which is one of the few rare exceptions to the common 7/5 one.

    I hadn't considered that 7/5 was how they were doing the layouts up until a few minutes ago. This makes a lot more sense on why they like to tack on random Tactical Ensigns.

    This would most likely fit best on a Cruiser then.
