How's this Odyssey Boff layout?

I wanted to get some advice about this Boff layout. Will it work for damage and tank as well?

    Looks very durable, though I've always been more of a fan of Borg Engine/Deflector + Adapted MACO/Elite Fleet shield for durability (cheaper than Aegis too). One trick you can do is add a couple of Damage Control Engineers to your doff slots (blue ones are fairly cheap) and then you'll be able to drop that second EPTS3 in favor of Extends or boosted DEM. You can also go aux2bat if you really want to jack up the DPS, but that does cost you healing and takes your Aux2SIF away. Lastly if you switch the front torpedo to the wide angle, then add the Kinetic Cutting Beam to the open aft slot, you'll get the Omega Weapon 2-piece to help on the drain control.

    Hmm... 2 very different different views. Thank you both for the response. I will have to think them both over.

    I really like having more tanking abilities though. And if I took out all the torp abilities wouldn't that kill any damage I could do with my torps?

    I also haven't done any stf's yet. so cutting beam is out for now. I want to get into doing stf's but I have agoraphobia and don't group with others much. I know, "why play an MMO if you have a problems playing with other people?" I love star trek that's why.

    But thanks for the info and I will think about it.

    All-energy does statistically more damage (noticeably more), plus then your powers like DEM and FAW benefit your entire weapons loadout. On the other hand a ship with no torps whatsoever doesn't feel very Trek to me, and the kinetic damage is handy in a few situations (like Voth aceton drones or the Crystalline Entity).

    Like you said, its also just different philosophies. For some, the highest number is everything. I prefer more flexibility and layout thats at least kinda-sorta thematically cannon.
