i was thinking about builds & boff power synergies and i wondered if a layout of
TRIBBLE
TRIBBLE xx
xx xx
or
xx
TRIBBLE xx
TRIBBLE xx
as opposed to the current layouts, and this made me think that actually dropping the cmdr station could easily result in competitive vessels.
you guys stew this stuff over constantly, so what do you think?
as much as i may be mad, am i right or wrong?
(the build i thought of for this was for a "destroyer" craft with xx
xx TRIBBLE
TRIBBLE xx
i bet someone will instantly think of what setup a ship like that would be good for)
This needs clarification. Are you asking if instead of a Cmdr,Ltcmdr,Lt,Lt,Ens setup a ,Ltcmdr,Ltcmdr,Lt,Lt,Ens would be competetive?
If so no... this I hate to say, is like asking if a ship with 5 tac consoles would be less or equally as Pew heavy as a ship with 4. The math says +25% is a good thing. Now if this is not what you are going for, clarify please.
Evaluating your post also confuses me. As it appears you want to know about a Ltcmdr,Ltcmdr,Lt,Lt,Lt build... but this removes one High level boff seat in favor of lower level boff seats. This seems to just be a bad idea. As APO 3 is sooooo much better then APO1. So why get rid of APO3 for something like Haz 2. You will see more from APO3.
The same goes for Engie and Sci powers. Cmdr ability is > Lt ability.
I'd prefer either of those bridge officer layouts to some of the 3x tac or engineering ensign versions we have, but if your looking for simply the most optimal? Like I said, recluse and d'deridex are far more potent layouts imo.

To be honest, I was thinking of something similar the other day, but far less likely to be effective.

A very radical shift in ship builds for such a vessel, and I have no clue whether this would be "meh" or considered OP. On the one hand, you could have a very tanky escort. TT - APB - CRF - APO EPtS - Aux2SIF - Aux2SIF - RSP TSS - Hazards - TSS - PSW
Again, this came directly from stardestroyer's Random Thought Generator, and may be the stupidest or most OP idea on the planet. You've been advised.

Uh, why do you have 2 commander stations in your calculations?
You're wrong. The Recluse only has 1 Commander Universal Station. 2 Lt commander stations and 2 Ensign Stations.
Yep, look closer. You mixed up the Lt Commander and Commander stations. 3 Gold pips is commander, 1 black pip and 2 gold pips is Lt Commander.
