Would a JHAS work on an engineer captain?

Just looking to gain some thoughts on wether the JHAS could be adapted to be used on an engineer captain for use in pvp, feel free to leave your thoughts :)

    With Cdr + LtCdr Tac, what would you even get out of an Aux2Batt build?

    The problem is, with how expensive that thing is, it seems a waste to not use it with a class that can really squeeze the most out of it.

    I'm an Engineer. I promise to test this question fully.

    As soon as someone supplies the necessary ship.

    to be honest, class means almost nothing, you get 5 abilities, all of which have their uses on all types of ships.

    An ENG on a JHAS should never die. That thing should be screaming along with so much subsystem power due to an ENG playing with little effort, before EPS Power Transfer and Batteries/Devices are involved. It's not going to hit the same as a TAC or even SCI on it, but the sheer subsystem power levels with no effort, laughably strong staying power on top of the speed and bonus defense should make it a hilarity to fly.

    I have put my fed engineer in the steamrunner and a couple of mirror escorts and he did very well. The extra power management inherent to engineers works rather well and miracle workers let me laugh off every bad guy I faced even if they caught me with my boff powers on cooldown.

    My klink eng flies the mirror qin with the same effects. Engineers in escorts work: slightly less DPS, slightly more power, and a lot more survivability.

    got a reman engineer in a fleet t'varo. its not pulling out all the stops because of the lack of attack pattern alpha and tactical team ability (not the boff skill, the captain skill). however it is still quite deadly, especially with the decloak and fire for a few seconds from battlecloak and my toons bonus to decloak bonus damage.

    just don't buy it. It's ridiculously overpriced and it's not a straightforward I win button. you can totally live with other ships building them right. I usually facemelt JHAS players in an Avenger and even outdamage them with a 5 DHC layout, simple as that.

    If you still want an escort, there's fleet patrol which is a heck of a tanky ship, MVAE that with console in beta is a lot of fun, extremely fast and a nasty LtCmdr to do all sort of things, and list goes on for any other faction: t'varo, scimi, mogh etc which will cost you nothing compared to a JHAS. :)

    I really like using escort-ish ships on my engineer. I often drive a tvaro on my rom and made a KDF just to use a norgh BOP. The engineer can keep a delicate ship alive and you can do fine dps.

    That said, one escort is much like another. The bug is not enough better to use it. Either sell it and buy something else, pocket the difference, or plan on also using the carrier (which is also quite good in the hands of an engineer, tank it up and shoot stuff).

    Seriously guys, it looks like, if it is not Aux2Batt , you are lost... xD, there are tons of builds to try, not only need to be aux2batt, i really dont get it. I am going to start an engineer soon, and i am not planning to use aux2batt build. So, that means i cant build an engi?? lol. I didnt know engineers were so screwed up,..

    Its a blast and i dont even have my fleet gear on it yet.
    New home of the Romulan Republic.
    I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
    I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
    I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.

    1. Transfer toon to Tribble
    2. Try JHAS there

    That way, if you don't like it you won't be out a possible 400M EC sale.

    PvP you can go Tac or Sci captain but engineer is a double facepalm.

    Captain type means almost nothing anymore. All of them have their own way of upping damage and bringing something useful to all ship types

    if you are thinking about A2B then you may be able to run 2 copies of A2B on those universal lt slot.
    Though repair skills may go out of the window. You won't have sci bo for hazard, and you may not be able to run A2S.

    I am a tac and I never ran any A2B build yet so I can be wrong.

    I have 2 engineers in a jhas, it work in stf's but for pvp NO.
    You don't have the dps a tac have, don't have the heals a cruiser have (and cruiser-commands).
