I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
I don't have any characters that are top-tier PvP material, but my Fed Engineer is the one that's closest to it, with all the reputations and a lot of gear... just haven't bought any T3 mine stuff, acquired the Fleet Imperial I've been waiting on, kitted out my JHHEC, or hoarded EC until I could get Marion.
I also need to respec skills, since that was my first character...
My main character is the only one I really keep repped up, and he's a Fed Engineer with most of the gear, a maxed out fleet, and flies a Tal ABC, though he also has a Recluse stashed away.
Yep,my main and currently only toon Derrick, is a fed eng t-5 rom/omega, almost t-5 nukara, kitted out well with fleet and rep gear. He can usually be found in a steamrunner, FAHCR, or Avenger, and most often in ker'rat.
My main is a Fed engi, T5 on all reps, maxed-out fleet flying around in a fully-kitted Monbosh beam-boat and blowing stuff up Have other toons lying around, but don't have half as much fun with them as I do with this one LOL
My fed engi is T5 omega, T4 rom and nukara, may take him to T5 rom for the expiremental beam and elite scorpions at some point but he doesnt need it now. No PVP ship either, just an ambassador and an EPtW3/DEM1 corvette. That's probably a "no" to your question
Dannika (my KDF Engineer) is a pretty much capped out fleet torkie pilot. I consider her my "third" in order of completeness. All reps done, I think the only thing left for that char is to do all the accolades and maybe some fine tuning/vanity stuff. Oh and get a helmsman trait or whatever
I spent a great deal of time just trying to make the toon viable, cause I was told a cruiser engie wouldnt work well. Then I was directed to the fleet torkie and never looked back. I dunno, I think engies get an unfair rap. This toon is absolutely beastly. Does respectable dps, holds aggro well so the glassers can unload safely, stays alive. Isnt it doing what it was meant to do?
PvP wise its a bit of a wash, but it is a hard hard thing to kill. *shrug*
On the ground I have discovered the wonder of mines and bombs. >_> Defera has never been the same since.

By that I mean, at least pretty well geared, in a decent ship of some kind, along with being fairly well along on the reps?
I have. My Fed engineer is my main toon, and the only one I cared badly enough on to rep it up all the way.
Anybody else got any well-kept engineers for all this time?
My female Orion Engie in a Karfi is a full KDF drain TRIBBLE loaded with leech and acetons (LOL). She runs around throwing out 125 aux power ES3s and ES2s shackles while pounding away with Ferjals and POLARON LOLCANNONS at 125 weapon power. With 125 shield power. And still 125 engine power. Giving her +13% damage from all subsystems, at all times. Even while in the rampup stage thanks to EPS Transfer.
Has Aceton Beam subsystem power drain doff and Energy Siphon subsystem shutdown doff slotted to make sure her prey stays for the pink party.
Full Jemhadar Mk12 set slotted.
256 in flowcaps, sucks anyone with less than 150 insulators dry. Even the Borg end up mesmerized by her deadly dance. Not to mention she can undercut weapon overcapping and keep Aux permanently disabled on an A2B cruiser.
And yet she never ever goes below 125 power in any subsystem. So she can keep going and going and going...
She's a bit lacking in the reputation department, but hey, Orions grind these sort of things, really fast.
All sexual inneudos were purely coincidental. Honest.
"Last Engage! Magical Girl Origami-san" is in print! Now with three times more rainbows.
Renim's been staying abreast of the rep and gear expansions... to the level that my limited EC reserves and unfleetedness allows. :P
He's got t5 Rom and Omega rep and t4 Nukara rep. (As you might imagine, the t5 Nukara isn't quite so important on a healboat.) I think he has Mk XII Borg deflector + engine and Mk XI MACO shield; console-wise he's still operating on white Mk XI neuts and blue Mk XI field emitter + emitter arrays. ("Tac" consoles include Assimilated Console and an Impulse Burst Generator for sticky situations.)
Honestly, I don't think he's changed much at all with all of the new stuff; the biggest addition was a blue Mk X Overcharged [Rep] [A->S] Warp Core. And yet he still manages to do passably well keeping all his pugmates alive -- if he can get them to stay in range, that is. :P

The T5 Refracting Tetryon Cascade's pretty nice if for nothing else - just popping mines or other targetables near you. Sure, it seems like a waste of it to some folks - but if it's an ability that's not taking up anything and can be nifty for that...
...though personally, I prefer dropping it out on pets hovering around a carrier.

...though personally, I prefer dropping it out on pets hovering around a carrier.
...And yet, I'm quite sure that even if I did push him to t5 Nukara and get the refracting cascade, Renim wouldn't be able to put a dent in anything with greater than 1 hull. :P
Bah! Upgrading neuts requires time and effort (or ec), none of which I care to expend at this moment! Renim'll show you all how it's done with naught but his white neuts! Renim takes his beatings like a REAL pvper!

The space fights are a breeze. After Celestara gets kidnapped, you can just fly up to get to the base - not have to fight anybody else....and then beam down.
You can move your guys along the bottom of the map, ignoring the optional to get the other prisoners, not have to fight anybody until after you've spoken to Celestara. Then it's just a few quick fights that your BOFFs can handle while you're doing whatever. Bam, Rare Mk XI Neut.
It has to be one of the easiest (and fastest) missions in the game - it's always blown my mind that the Rare Mk XI Neuts cost so much on the Exchange.

A couple of weeks ago, i started an Eng alt, i have a rommie one that i dislike greatly. But my Alien Eng on the other hand is a wonder so far. Heavily working on kitting her out.
So far i have a embassy Mk 12 fab specialist kit (with the 3 pruprle doffs to increase chance to drop more)
Bunch of Fleet stuff (all Mk 12)
Assault cruiser until i get the Fleet Assualt cruiser.
Working on reps right now. Should have T1 on all 3 by Saturday, going to try my damndest to burn through them as im impatient as all get out.
Once i do i will keep on that Eng as much as possible.
Love the Engineer right now. Going to work very hard at perfecting it.
Next is why.
I also learned tha i am so dangerous in Mine Trap nobody wants to play it with me (i accidentally killed not only my whole team but all our civilians) who knew that when you get confused by salt vampires your turrets do too.....
But in ground EStfs the Eng is invaluable.
Inertia just means you can do Powerslides in you carrier!
I am Il Shadow and i approve these Shennanigans!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I "dusted" (Read: shot into space via torpedoes) the tribbles off my Eng when the Avenger came out, she has been seeing alot more use lately...even to the point of changing to a different fleet as the one she was in is going down hill.
Currently I have her set up as a Turret Fabrication Specialist (MK X VR), add in 2 eng boffs with the same style, and its pure turret and mortar havoc (especially against borg at DIZ)
She hasnt done a lick of Rep b/c i grinded it once on my main and will MAYBE do only to t1 on all my other toons for the mk x gear....
She is flying the Avenger with x4 mk xi Phaser DBB [acc], a VR mk x quantum torp [acc]x3
aft: x2 mk xi phaser BA [acc], VR mk x quantum torp [Crtd]x3. Currently no special sets, but will probably get either the jem or breen set for now...then the borg or maco later on.
lol no. my kdf eng doffs for contraband when i feel like it, and the fed only sees the light of day during CE events. i remember i stopped using them about the time doffing was added. no rep, no active roster, no gear thats better then what i could get back then.
