Apologize in advance for the wall of text. Been to all the Bootcamps and have learned a tremendous amount. TYVM

Now I'm trying to adjust my build but have a number of questions for the experts. I appreciate all your input on my Cruiser/Engi build (that turned out great!) but now I need you help please on my Escort/Tac.
1. Unlucky with getting a JHAS I'm in a RA Patrol Escort. Any suggestions for an upgrade? I've been thinking of:
Chimera Destroyer or
Fleet Patrol - until I bug or something else comes out, but I really want that 5th Tac Console; so maybe...
Fleet Defiant Retrofit or
Fleet Advanced - but both seem to have an useless extra Boff Tac Ensign, when they could really use an Engi Ensign.
2. This is the main point of my thread. I have 2 tacs, but am having trouble with my BOFF set up due to DOFFs.
Eng and Sci are standard:
EPtS1, RSP1EPtS1HE1, TSS2
My problem/question involves the tac slots.
For my newbie tac va I have:
TT1, CRF1, CRF2, APO3TT1, APD1, APO1
4 DHC Polarized Disruptors Acc CrtH
3 Turrets Polarized Disruptors Acc CrtH
For my main Tac, I bought 2 AP Doffs and 1 Engy Wpns Off-reduce CD on Cannon Special Attacks Doff. So my thinking was that with these doffs I only need one copy of APO but then what do I do with my Lt slot? I put in a BO2 with a DBB.
TT1, CRF1, CRF2, APO3TT1, BO2, APD2
3 DHC Polarized Disruptors Acc CrtH, 1 DBB Pol Disrp Acc CrtH
3 Turrets Polarized Disruptors Acc CrtH
Is this a good idea? Isn't better to have all cannons, and if so what should I replace BO2 with? I almost think I'm better off without the expensive doffs, or maybe I'm not using them right.
Comments
TT1, CRF1, CRF2, APO3
BO1, TT2, APO1
TTs will cycle back to back, just like CRFs will, but the extra benefit in TT2 over the 1 shot benefit in BO2 supports the move to BO1, at least in my mind. And this way, if you ever put a torp on there, you can switch that out to HY1 without having to retrain 2 skills.
APO1 can be replaced by any AP of your choice - which ever works best for you, but with AP doffs to reduce cooldown APO is probably the best.
It'll help with your power drain (if that's an issue for you), the proc is quite useful, and you won't be 'wasting' a BO slot.
I've decided to go with 4 DHC fore, 2 Turrets and a chroniton mine launcher aft. My LtCmdr Tac BOFF set up will be: TT1, DPB CRF2. Cmdr Tac: TT1, APD, CRF2, APO3. Will keep my 2AP Doffs but will drop by Cannon CD Doff.
Time to go test it out now. PVP anyone?
