I'm a science officer in a fed temporal science ship and trying to do better. I currently do ok in most situations but I feel I might need to increase my defenses a bit. I'm working my way to romulan hyper-plasma torp too.
I have:
Fore: 2x dual polaron, omega torp
Aft: 2x Turrets, borg cutting beam
Deflector: Maco mk X (will be soon upgrading to Omega Mk 12)
Impulse: Combat Mk xII (will be upgrading soon to omega MK 12)
Shields: Elite fleet covariant
DISCLAIMER: I wouldn't pay any attention to what I'm about to post. I don't know what I'm talking about, and I'm kind of in a daze from boredom. However, by posting a reply that will likely be the obviously wrong thing to do - somebody may jump in and post something helpful.

Traits - can't really do traits without knowing the species (I run 8 Aliens and a Reman, the Aliens all have the same traits (outside of Career-specific) and the Reman tries to match as closely as possible - so I tend to assume certain things as standard that others don't)

DISCLAIMER: Again, I wouldn't pay any attention to what I'm about to post. I don't know what I'm talking about, and I'm going through caffeine withdrawal. I sometimes find that posting a wtf thing like this can lead folks to pointing out what's wrong with it and saying what to do instead - when they might not have answered a more direct request. Hope you get the help you're looking for...
First, lets point some errors:
- Beam consoles? Those consoles are doing nothing cause they only boost beam damage, and you are using cannons/turrets. For boost energy damage, use energy damage consoles of that type (disruptor-induction coil, phaser-phaser relay, etc)
- Nukara console only increase the accuracy of beams....again, u are using cannons. Put a neutronium there.
The boff layout, imho, is awfull. Maybe u should try something like this:

For some unknown reason, +Beam damage (generic, not energy specific) are boosting FBP damage.

The boff layout, imho, is awfull. Maybe u should try something like this:
Fore: Breen Cluster, Transphasic torp, Romulan experimental beam, Romulan hyper plasma torp.
Rear: Breen Cluster, Transphasic Mine, Some other mine lol
Deflector: Borg
Impulse: Borg
Shields: Elite fleet RESILENT

This build have a lot of room for improvement, but is a good starting point.

There's no better way to really rock FBP other than that.
I'd recommend looking at Disruptor Beams, FAW, and AP: Delta to spread some -DmgRes goodness. With Sensor Scan, of course.
For some unknown reason, +Beam damage (generic, not energy specific) are boosting FBP damage.
didn't know about that
the small bonus that gives is not worth loss 1 console slot.

he is not running beams!!! that is my point
