Here are my suggestions:
I'd personally replace the dual beam bank with a regular beam array for more broadside daamge. I understand your reasoning behind the dual beam bank, but i think overall you will see greater damage by replacing it with an array and concentrating on your broadside attack. I'd remove the forward photon launcher and move the wide angle quantum torpedo launcher into a forward weapon slot. In the aft position I'd put in the borg kinetic cutting beam. This will maximize broaidside damage since all your weapons will be able to fire at the same time.
Your consoles are a mess. Here's my suggested setup.
Engineering: Assimilated Console, Zero-Point Conduit, Chevron Separation, Neutronium Alloy
Science: (3)x Field Generator
Tactical: (3)x Antiproton Mag Regulators
or - if you find yourself lacking resistance
Engineering: Assimilated Console, Zero-Point Conduit, (2)x Neutronium Alloy
Science: Chevron Separation, (2)x Field Generator
Tactical: (3)x Antiproton Mag Regulators
Adding the Zero-Point Conduit Console from the romulan rep will increase you critical chance and severity, Neutronium Alloy is better as a general purpose resist console. 3 Field Generators will increase your shield strength significantly making you quite tanky. The biggest change you need to make is your tac consoles you should change to 3 antiproton mag regulators asap.
Bridge Officer Skills:
Your bridge officer skills look alright. I'd probably swap Torpedo: High Yield 3, and Attack: Pattern Beta 1 with T:HY2 and AP:B2. Overall I think Beta 2's debuff will increase your overall damage more then some extra torpedoes once in a while. I'd Also replace Engineering Team 2 with Auxiliary to Structural Integrity 1. Less heal yes, but it doesn't enter cooldown with tactical team and it also adds fairly significant resistances. You could bind it to your space bar for 66% uptime which will make your hull tankier and heal any bleedthough.
cheers again.

Staying light on Engi slots means that 3 purple Damage Control Engineers are a necessity for uptime. 2 copies of Tac Team means we don't need a Conn Officer and the Patterns buff loss isn't such a huge tragedy. I threw DEM in there as if you afford one, Marion Frances Dulmur has synergy with it for a great power level boost whenever it pops. Would work better with an Aux2Bat build, but still an excellent thing to have around when you find yourself in power woes. RSP is your precautionary tank skill. Aux2SIF3 is the best hull heal you can get because it does not disrupt TT, and has a small enough cooldown to be cycled along with the Emergency Powers.
In terms of gear, the KCB and Borg Module have a 2-set bonus you cannot afford to miss. This on the back means your wide angle can go on the front. Replace your dual beam with a beam array and you can fire all 8 weapons on broadsides, very important for a cruiser. Tachyokinetic is essential but expensive. I threw on the MACO shield for the power conduit buff, but if you can, grab an Elite Fleet Shield of your favoured Resistance type, which is the best all round shield you can get.
Updated Build
i need to update some of my Beam Arrays as there only MKXI but i will work on them have changed some of my Consoles around still need to get hold of a few of these special ones you said about
Where do i get this Tachyokinetic console from i will get that Zero point module soon as i build up my Romulan marks
I need to change my bridge officers around a bit as well
so you advise to get rid of Beam Overloads and THY then from looking at your build and use Torp Spread
also it is worth having 2 TT wouldn't they share cool down i'm new to all of this build i normally just wing it
Also i was going to get all MKXII borg set for my ship the shields and engines and deflector is this not the best way to go then as you advise to use the MACO shield?
Cheers for all your advice the ship is already dealing more damage
It is from the lobi store for 200 crystals. This corresponds to about 50 opened lockboxes. Yes, very steep, but worth the investment, especially with the recent improvement to how this console benefits cruisers.
I find Beam Overload more suited to an escort and its alpha strike. For beam cruisers I would prefer Fire at Will. The choice between High Yield and Torp Spread is situational. It doesn't cost a lot to change from THY for PvP and TS for PvE. Or just go with whichever you prefer. It can also depend on whether you use one of the rep torps.
They have a shared cooldown of 15 seconds and an uptime of 15 seconds. With 2 copies cycling, you will always have Tac Team up.
I find the Borg shield underwhelming unless you specialize in shield regeneration. As I said, Maco comes with the power conduit link on its own which will help with beam power drain, and the shield is generally tankier, with the vital plasma resistance. In addition the Borg 3-set bonus is, in my opinion, a bit disappointing compared to the 2-set. The Borg Tractor is a fun gimmick but not a lot more than that with its large cooldown.
You are quite welcome!
Cause if its best to go all MACO i will go down that path if you can let me know that would be great.
Ive started the Borg Shield but i can leave that as i wont of lost much i can just leave it and maybe us that on a different craft or store it
I have tried Borg Deflector and Brog Engines with a Maco Shield MKXI which seems to boost mny shields up alot i put my MKXII omega on and boost my Shields even higher and i get a fairly good regen on it aswell
My damage in increasing with the new weapon load out but need to update some MKXI to MKXII but as far as i am aware they only place to get MKXII Antiproton weapons is Via the Fleet stuff which takes for ever to unlock as we are only a small fleet.
is it worth maybe changing my weapons to something else
cheers in advance for your help and advice
Put the wide angle infront. like that you have a pretty nice broadsiding boat.
the + weapon and shield energy consoles are a waste of the space since their energy output got cut in half more than 1 year ago. fill it with some universal consoles from which you have in the tactical and sience slots.
also get a embassy science console for shieldhealing or whatever you like, MK X is sufficent and rather cheap.
personally i prefer torpedo spread and fire at will more than their single target counterpart...the dps gain from hitting multiple targets is just incredible, which means you do less overkill dmg in pve and occasionaly take out a ship you didn't even target.
and engaging multiple enemys at once is kind of what the cruiser is supposed to do anyway.
also you may wanna get the cutting beam weapon for the 2piece borg console set bonus.
tactical console slots MUST be filled with mag regulator consoles, period.
the maco, omega, assimilated sets all have their benefits...i prefer 2 piece maco (deflector and shields) and an assimilated borg engine.
but the jem'hadar are pretty nice too. the maco shield especially is great for tanking since wihile you get hit by multiple enemys your powerlevels rise significantly.
3 piece borg set has also huge benefits, so i'd say stick with what you already got.
I have changed the DBB to a BA and added the Cutting Beam put the Wide firing Arch Torp on the front
Changed a few consoles around
I still have 1 Plasma Distribution Console on there what would u suggest to change this to if these are pretty useless now.
I am working towards the Zero Point Module so will be getting that as soon as i have enough marks to get it.
i will then start working on my shields and other bits.
E'Mc2 : Science Reman torp T'Varo, deadly annoyance :P
Kunmal: Tactical fed Klingon, ground specialist, USS Kanewaga
Ka -tet Tier 5 fleet fully completed Starbase and fleet property
New build
Harden up Princess

i will swap out warp plasma with the one you suggested and give that a try
again thanks for all the advice.
Got that new console which helps alot just need to get the zero point module now and upgrade a few ship bits and should be very sweet then
if you can see anything i need to change then let me know i need to swap out Eject Plasma for Aux2SIF 3 but i cant train in it so keeping a eye out for a bridge officer that can
It's come a long way in a few short days.
Need to get access to fleet shields and embassy consoles would be the only advice I could give.
I think you have too many batteries though, not really much else you could rock though, maybe some sat's for a little extra damage.
Overall it is alot better its just stupid things with the game its self that gets to me
last night me and my mate doing the romulan dailies kicking but shields at 100% hull at 100% then within a second bang dead no reason just blown up was happening to both of us
I want to respec my engineer to get the most out of it
are there any skills that are best to max out to get better power to weapons and help out with hull repair and shields and is there anything that helps increase turn rate in a cruiser even if its a bit
Just want to get the most out of it and be able to do it right for once
