Also the two set bonus of Rapid Maneuvering Thrusters looks good. I will have to see if that is better then the RCS console by itself.
...so I'm gonna try and turn it into an effective DBB ship.
Weapon Loadout:
5x antiproton DBBs
1x KCB
2x antiproton turrets
BOFF Seating:
Commander: Tac Team, APD1, FAW3, APO3
Uni. Ensign: EPtA
Uni. Lt. Commander: EPtE, Aux2Bat, RSP
Lieutenant: EPtS, Aux2Bat
Lieutenant: Polarize Hull, Hazard Emitters
DOFFs:
3x Technicians
1x Flight Deck Reduced Cooldown
1x Fab Engineer RSP Duration
Consoles:
I'll need to try out the universal console set first to see how it goes.
This has only standard Romulan Battlecloak, so you have to use the console ability to fire torps while cloaked, which presumably only lets you fire for a short time and has a 3 minute cooldown until you can use it again.
PVE E-STF build.
Tulwar Variant.
5x Fore DHCs.
3x Aft Turrets
KHG XII Shields
Aegis Deflector
KHG XII engines or the DS9 Episode Series Combat Engines ( Breen? )
Eng C - Assimilated/Zero Point
Sci C- 5x Bloo XI Field Generators
Tact C - 3x Disruptor Cannon Damage

But fist i would like to see its dps power on the tac version.
Fore 5 romulan plasma DHCs
Aft 2 rom plasma turrets and cutting beam
Commander Tactical : TT1, APB 1, APO 2, CRF 3
Lieutenant Engineer : EPtS 1, DEM 1

Ensign Universal : Tractor Beam 1
Lieutenant Commander Universal: Tac: TT1, CSV 1, CRF 2
Consoles:
5 plasma infuser, its 3 console pack, borg and leach.
Its a shame it doenst have just 4 tac consoles cuz i had in mind also valdore console and/or a dil mine RCS console, but those might not be needed cuz of secondary shields plus it can battle cloak when shields are low and Rapid Maneuvering Thrusters bonus, i still i wish i knew how much turn rate that gives.
You can always put universal consoles to your tac consoles, I know it's hard to resist using tac consoles on every tac console slot but.. yeah :P

This is just a PVE gimmick build which should be fine for Elite STF's or what have you.
The Subspace Jump console is in there to give me a warp Thalaron Pulse Blast, start your charge up for the blast and if your target move out of its arc wait till you've gotten to about 10 seconds of charge built up and use the Subspace Jump to warp behind your target and watch the destruction.
I'm still very disappointed that there is no Commander Level Science Boff Station on the Tulwar but I'll most likely pick up the 3 pack for my Romulan Tac Captain and the fact that the Scimitar is just a sick looking beats of a ship.
That said, I do have some ideas for it. For now I'll only include items I can get without lockbox/lobi stuff, though I do have a few C-store ship consoles I can use. I'll also ignore Doffs since I still haven't gotten the hang of aux2batt builds :P
Captain: Tactical
Scimitar-model:
Fore: 4x Romulan Plasma DBB, 1x Hyper-torpedo (or Omega Torpedo)
Rear: Cutting Beam, 1x Experimental Beam Array, 1x Rom Beam array (or mine launcher/torpedo)
Engines/Shields/Deflector: A rep set, probably Reman or Borg, whichever I can swing first
Consoles
Eng: Borg Assimilated Console, Zero-point conduit
Sci: Field Generator, Cloaked Barrage, Secondary Shields
Tac: 4x Plasma infuser, Singularity Distributor Unit (or 1x Plasma infuser)
Hangar: Drone ships or Elite Scorpions
Boffs:
Cdr Tac: TT1, BFAW2, BO3, APO3
LtCdr Uni (Tac): TT1, APB1, THY3 (if Sci Tractor Beam 1, Energy Siphon 1, Gravity Well 1)
Lt Eng: EPTS1, Aux2SIF
Lt Sci: TSS1, HE2
En Uni (Eng): EPTS1 (if Sci Polarize Hull 1)
Devices: Aux battery, Weapon Battery, Subspace modulator, Deuterium Surplus/Engine battery/turret
I'll try to slot boffs that reduce cooldown on Evasive Maneuvers, Beam weapons, Tac Team, or increase power levels for Emergency power abilities. When I figure out Aux2Batt I imagine that'll be a good way to compensate for warbirds' power difficulties.
In theory this build should allow for some fun long-distance standoff shooting with a minimum of turning around in PVE. I can close to deploy mines or use the borg tractor/cutting beam combo, but for the most part it'll be about timing BO shots with high-yield plasma barrages from the Romulan Hyper Torpedo.

A Aux2Bat-Combination would be possible, but I dont like it, since it doesnt do more damage than my build, but sacrifices substantial amounts of heal.
While my Ody (3 tac-consoles) already out-damage-deals any Escort in PvE (while doing less DPS of course, but more damage), a Scimi flown like this is bound to be even on terms on DPS with an escort. Good players might even out-DPS escort in PvE. While be able to tank far more than any escort could do.
Its a sad story, the adapted Battle Cruiser was already a really good ship, but the Scimi is an abnormination, giving a Escort-Console-Layout in Combination with an Cruiser-BO-Layout and the cherry on the cake ist a hangar.

Need to finish getting Technicians for my Aux2Bat setup, once that's done I'll drop Polarize Hull and a Tac Team for other potentially usefull Ens. Sci stuff. (TSS I/Sci Team/Tractor etc.)
Also need to figure out what trait it is that gives the duration bonus to Ambush (unless that's a Ground thing only) as I've currently got my Ambush/Cloak CD at 5 sec/15 sec.
As for Space DOFFS, aside from 2/3x VR Technicians I'm looking at the new Energy Weapons Officer (BO buff) and the Conn Officer (ACC & Perc bonus).
Planning on trying out PvP when I get those Technicians but it does fairly well in PvE currently.

ATM running full Borg set since not tier 5 rep yet. Using either 4 tac consoles + valdore or 5 tac consoles. I'm also guitly of being overindulgent and have the full three piece set + plasmonic leach. The one remaining console is usually RCS. I'm experimenting in this area and interchange consoles a lot on the fly. IMO the Scimitar is better than the Falchion and the Falchion is better than the Tulwar. Most because the number of universals sap up most of your console slots anyway. But the Scimitar has +10 weapons
Now I already had 3 attack pattern doffs . . . so I use those
3x fleet polaron DHC's 2x Mk Xii quantum torps in front
2x Mk Vii polaron beam arrays, 1x cutting beam in back..
full Mk X omega set.
tetrabernium and electroceramic hull plating
RCS Mk Xii
Polaron phase regulator
all three scimi consoles
every useable console from every rom ship that came in the legacy pack.
i dont know what my officers are trained in. i'm still learning the game and haven't gotten that far.
this loadout works well on the falchion, but poorly on the scimitar. I dont know why..
Strongly suggest both a cutting beam on back and a plasmonic leech console for this build, as well as an attack pattern beta of as high a level as you feel comfortable. Also, no reason to run KHG set stuff, you have no torps and that engine is awful.
The three blank Engineering consoles are the Scimitar consoles and the blank Science one is the Valodre Console

I know its tempting to use all those legacy pack consoles but that is why you are performing poorly, you have hardly any energy damage consoles, you need anywhere from 3 to 5 polaron damage consoles. You will have to decide whether you want to give up the 3 piece set or those legacy consoles and get more damage.

You can make a killing machine out of it even without the cloak O.o
If I had it, I would use EWP on that slot, decloak and trap them in it, chain 3 BOLS (Preload+Weap Batts) As long as you're not using Plas Leech it should be fine.
Ok, DHCs are better than torpedoes, but:
1 - You can't use only energy weapons: 8 Energy Weapons = Massive Weapons Power Drain = Less Damage.
So, a torpedo Launcher could be very useful.
2 - When enemy shields are down, a good torpedo salvo can really deal massive damage.
Only if you don't actively work to mitigate the drain. Apply the correct gear, doffs and Boff skills and one can quite easily stay at very high weapon power, no matter how many barrels are firing.

Still grinding Rep so a few of these consoles and the Aegis set will be replaced with Assimilated, Zero-Point and the such. Plasmonic will probably go away once I get MACO shield since they don't stack and being a tank I will be getting attacked all the time. Of course the Kinetic Cutting Beam will also go in once I get rep.

The Basic Idea behind it was to make a Build that on one hand can dish out solid damage, and on the other hand Focus on the Thaleron Pulse to get a very High Burst and DoT afterwards.
Also it can tank average to good, depending on my auxillery setting.
Note: This is a pure PvE Build, and in no way PvP approved.

Hangar : Yellowstone runabouts
Consoles
Science : scimitar universal consoles

Doffs :
3 blue technician
1 blue warp core engineer with chance to remove all debuffs on use of EPTX
1 green battery quartermaster ( reduce battery cd)
Fore Weapons: 5x [Romulan Plasma Dual Beam Bank Mk XII [Acc]x2].
No Torpedoes so skill points can be allocated elsewhere. Beam Banks over DHC because this ship is pretty wide and can be harder to judge the exact point in which DHC or DC will start firing.
Aft Weapons: [Romulan Plasma Beam Array Mk XII [Acc]x2], [Kinetic Cutting Beam Mk XII [Dmg]x3], [Experimental Romulan Plasma Beam Array].
Rear beams over turrets for Fire at Will, turrets are a minor increase in Frontal DPS. The Experimental Beam is for the 2 Set bonus.
Deflector: [Assimilated Deflector Array Mk XII].
Engine: [M.A.C.O. Impulse Engines Mk XII] or [Adapted K.H.G. Impulse Engines Mk XII] or [Assimilated Subtranswarp Engines Mk XII].
Shield: [M.A.C.O. Resilient Shield Array Mk XII] or [Adapted K.H.G. Resilient Shield Array Mk XII].
Core: haven't looked at the Elite Fleet Cores yet but the preferred type is Aux for a gain in both healing and DPS.
I find Resilient Shields preferable for Warbirds in general because of the innate lower resists thanks to lower overall power levels. Also the Shield means no need for Plasmonic Leech console thereby freeing up a slot. Engines are flexible I chose them for the 2 Set bonus and the Warp speed increase, Borg Engines are a good alternative for both reasons. Deflector is for the bonus to Auxiliary power and can give the 2 Set bonus with Borg Engines.
Devices: [Subspace Field Modulator], 20x [Weapons Battery], 20x [Shields Battery], 20x [Auxiliary Battery].
I use Batteries alot, especially after using Beam Overload or Aux2Bat.
Engineering Consoles: [Console - Universal - Secondary Shields], [Console - Universal - Singularity Distributor Unit].
Science Consoles: [Console - Zero-Point Energy Conduit], [Console - Universal - Assimilated Module], [Console - Tachyokinetic Converter].
Tactical Consoles: 5x [Console - Tactical - Plasma Infuser Mk XII].
Two Dreadnought consoles for the 2 Set bonus and extra protection, all other consoles are a large boost to DPS.
Hangar Bay: [Hangar - Elite Romulan Drone Ship] or [Hangar - Elite Scorpion Fighters].
Drones are more useful for shooting down torps, Scorpions are more DPS.
BOffs:
Commander Tactical: Tactical Team I, Beam Overload II, Fire at Will III, Attack Pattern Omega III
Lieutenant Engineer: Emergency Power to Weapons I, Auxiliary to Battery I
Lieutenant Science: Polarize Hull I, Transfer Shield Strength II
Lieutenant Commander Universal (Engineer): Emergency Power to Shields I, Auxiliary to Battery I, Engineering Team III
Ensign Universal (Science): Hazard Emitters I
Only need one TT with two aux2bat. BO is a decent single target burst. Fire at Will should be renamed Nuke everything. Attack Pattern Omega is a great DPS boost.
EPtW and EPtS can be cycled almost continuously. Aux2Bat needs no introduction. Engineering Team is a nice large hull heal which is almost necessary on a ship this big.
Polarize Hull because nobody likes Tractor Beams and everybody likes extra resist. TSS for some extra shield healing which you will need. Hazard Emitters for a small hull heal and to remove those pesky plasma burns.
(as with all Aux2Bat builds it requires 3x Purple Technician Doffs slotted in Space)
the 3 empty sci consoles are the scimitar set consoles (not on skillplanner yet)
formally parsed at 13k dps peak
Beta, kcb, and torps help, but the KHG engine has a great turn rate, is good at low power, and grants a flat bonus to W,S,A power. the Adapted XII set has the heavy grav beam, but non adapted gear is better (since adapted has the maco stats// I alternate based on the situation). the shield is good (note that the adapted power drain doesnt stack w/ leach), and the deflector has some good bonuses like SI, FlwC (for your plasmonic leach), and PG (thalaron pulse & exotic).
