Best Role for Vesta in Infected Space?

ggg247

I just hit Tier 5 in Omega Reputation on a Tac Captain flying an Escort. I'd like to take a different alt (Tac Captain flying a Sci Vesta) through, but I'm a little unsure as to my best fit during play.

In my Escort, I understood my role on the team perfectly. With my Vesta, do I aim for pure damage (I have the 3 Aux-powered DHCs on front-very powerful), or go more sci-based powers (GW) and hang back a bit, letting my attack ships do a lot of the heavy lifting?

Also, which sci powers are most helpful in the mission? I have HE, TSS, TB, TBR, GW, Jam Sensors, and Polarize Hull equipped right now.

I absolutely love my Vesta, and have had a blast so far using it in missions (PvE and queued events); this is the first time I've been unsure as to exactly how I should be best using it for the team. Any advice is much appreciated.

A little of this and a little of that. Vesta is about versatility. Focus fire when necessary, provide CC using GW when it gets hairy and heal when pug mates are dying.
