Now since Cryptic has very tight schedule (probably more cruisers incomming lol / joke), let's make it a little easier for them. Just post your ideas how to fix/improve/add existing/new abilities to STO to fix science ship troubles.
Tachyon Beam
1,5x the base dmg, fix the DOFF - the turn debuff is barely noticeable even with all purple DOFFs, there seems to be a bug
Jam Sensors
Let the Sensor DOFF be usable on this at least, although I would prefer if the ability was simple accuracy debuff (Jam Targetting Sensors).
Photonic Shockwave
I would experiment with something that does not create huge numbers - 50% bleedthrough for example. I dislike the idea of long stuns personally.
Charged Particle Burst
What about the dreaded shield heal debuff ? (LOL don't stone me)
MES
It simply has no use in STO currently, I tested MES3 yesterday and it simple is not worth it no matter how you look at it / buff it.
I would change it to "science pattern omega", hugely improving defence/sci resistances of the user.
Tractor Beam II and III
There must be something usefull for them...of course after you have removed the II from danoobes

. There is not much reason for players to train them. One idea would be to scale the tractor beam DOFF drain for various ranks.
---
Oh and something that might be or might not be a good idea. I would tripple the value on all science consoles, but make them unique so you can only have one of each type equiped.
