Please rate my Armitage build.

I'm a Tactical Officer. My Bridge Officers are all Human. I'm almost solely a PvE gamer. I rarely, if ever, do any PvP. When I reached 50, it just seemed that the Armitage offered the best makeup to suit my needs. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

If this is for STF's, I'd add the Polarize Hull or APO to break free of tractor beams. Science Team and Tac Team both redistribute shields but for different reasons so I'd get PH if you have issues with those tractors. That or just pop Evasive Maneuvers and an engine battery.

I did a different build on my T5 Akira Class where I have BORG Mk XII Antiproton DHC and DC with a MK XII Q Torp launcher. All MK XII antiproton turrets at the back.

I ended up mixing the 2 piece BORG and MACO sets where I get the auto regen Borg ability and the MACO Magnetoplasma Relays because... that Heavy Graviton Beam is useless against the Theta Radiation Console I have. Besides, I'm a Trill Engineer... I can use power to my advantage.

How are your Space DOFFs slotted?

Ship Components:

M.A.C.O. Deflector Dish Mk 12
Borg Assimilated Engines
M.A.C.O. Shield Array Mk 12

Engineering Consoles:

Neutronium Alloy MK XI Blue
Borg Universal Console
Theta Radiation Console

Science Consoles:

MK XII Blue Shield Regen Console
MK XII Blue Shield Emitter Console

Tactical Consoles:

MK XII Blue Antiproton Mag consoles x4

I use the Blue Peregrine Class fighters just for the hell of it...

Torpedo: Spread 1
Torpedo: High Yield 1 & 2

You made a decent build. But I would suggest to switch to phasers or antiproton due to their procs. Also, I would put only 1 torp on fore, better one more dual cannon.
About your set: 3 pieces of assim set and MACO elite shield.

Nice, I would change the science team to something else as you don't want it interfering with tactical team or vice versa.

Also what race is your toon and have you chosen your own passives?

peevil31

At first I started with Phasers because I thought the Point Defense System would be augmented by my triad of Phaser Tactical consoles. I didn't see much, if any, gain. I also got rid of them because I didn't like the proc rate along with the fact that it can disable Aux systems, which does nothing. I do have a third Dual Heavy Cannon I've swapped in, in place of a Torpedo Launcher in the past. The reason why I keep 2 up front is because of the refire rate. Photon Torpedoes are already a fast reload, that, coupled with my 3 Very Rare Torpedo Duty Officers makes for a steady stream of kinetic damage. A High Yield Torpedo every 15 seconds makes for a bad day in Borg-Town too. Thanks again for the comment. I read them all!

I rarely use Tactical Team as a shield strength transfer aid. With 9/9 EPS points my Distribute Shield Strength ability is usually all I need. I, normally, only use Tactical Team for the damage buff or to rid boarding parties.

My character is alien.

Passives:

Accurate (+10% Accuracy) - Space
Elusive (+10% Defense) - Space
Techie (+10 Starship Hull Repair) - Space
Warp Theorist (+10 Warp Core potential and +10 Electro-Plasma Systems) - Space

I rarely notice conflicts between the two "team" skills but yes, sometimes I'm hurting for a shield regen after I rid boarding parties.

Very Nice.

Perhaps just change Eeject Warp Plasma for Direct Energy Modulation.

A fleet mate put me onto "Direct Energy Modulation" because I like using cannons anyway that affect stacks up to 5 times and it gets increased shield penetration per hit and given cannons deal out more hits than beams it just works really well.
