I fly an engineer in a fleet Excelsior currently specced up for as much damage output as I can (Around 6k per volley standard up to 9k max) which is fine for PvE and does well in 1 on 1 PvP (With a few exceptions) and sometimes 2v1 but I have been thinking about getting a little more into PvP and was wondering if, where and how I should modify my build for it.
Here is my current build:
Weapons
Fore: Polarised Tetryon Beam Array Mk XI, Phased Tetryon Beam Array Mk XI [Acc] [Dmg], Advanced Fleet Tetryon Beam Array Mk XII [Dmg]x3 [Acc], 1 torp
Aft: As fore
Equipment
Full MACO Mk XII
Consoles
Eng: Monotanium Mk XI (Purple), 2x Neutronium Mk XI (Blue), Borg
Sci: 2x Field Gen mk XI (Blue)
tac: 4x Tetryon Pulse Gen Mk XI (Blue)
Boffs
LTC Tac: TT1, FAW2/BO2 (Depending on what I'm fighting), AP:B2
CMDR Eng: EPtW1, RSP1, Aux2SIF2, EWP3
LT Eng: ET1, DEM1
Ens Eng: EPtS1
LT Sci: HE1, TSS2
Devices
Weapon battery
Doffs
3X DCE (EPtX cd reduction), Warp Core Eng (EPtX Power Boost), Systems Eng (DEM Power reduction) (All Purple)
Power Levels
W: 100
S: 50
E: 25
A: 25
Skill setup
Any help would be appreciated

2010: This is Cryptic PvP. Please hold the line, your call is very important to us...
i think it shines with a tac or sci captain.
engineers should focus on healing and constant suppression damage, and i think that this ship is great for the suppression, a little heal light....but not by much...
my advice would be to simply use, instead of faw or overloads and beta....mess around with attack pattern delta, and omega.
delta can be used on yourself, or an ally, its a great power....beta is to easily cleared by tac team, too many people running 2 copies of that....so at max...i see people get 3 out of 5 possible good seconds on a target to get the milage out of it....not a great return on your ltcm tac spot...
omega is just the god of all attack patterns....if you are not a tac that is. it boosts weapons damage, defense...and gives you turn rate and speed boosts.... which all would be great for maxing your agility to lay down that plasma....i can see you prolly have fun with it, i know i do...
other than that, i think your build looks solid.
have fun kill bad guys
-thrusters on full-
edit: a great note about delta: if you apply it to yourself...and the guy you plasma is targeting you, he gets a hull debuff....which also lends to your DEM.....melt away
