Fed Scielnce vs Rom Science?

When I tell ppl I made a federation science character, most but not all tell me a I made a bad choice (there were factors of course, previous ship purchases account wide for one). When I ask why, I hear that romulans tend to lean more toward science, where Feds lean more toward Engineer and Klingons more toward tactical. Is there any proof of this, I always thought anyone could be anything in sto without any penalties or advantages. I do remember someone saying that a few of the singularity warp core powers benifited from high aux and partical generators. If thats true then maybe I did make a bad choice cause we all know science sure could use a little extra love when it came to their damage output abilitys. What do you think? Do romulans make better science captains than the other factions.

    It's how you play the character. On sci needing some love it is about the ships not so much the captain. With the way traits now work, it is better just to choose the race you like to play.

    There's room for every profession in each faction. Fed shipline offers the most variety of science-heavy ships, so it is the best faction for doing heavy CC builds. KDF and Romulan ships can support scence profession, but they dont have as many pure-science ships.

    romulans have better traits for offensive and DPS oriented builds...including sci captains but not exclusive to. Rom sci in a dps oriented warbird vs. a fed or kdf sci in an escort will most certainly do slightly more dps than the other 2.
    But i'd say the impact with sci captains is less than you'd have with a tac or engi captain.


    was it a bad choice? certainly not...any choice or combination is legit and can perform excellent when using the strengths accordingly.
    i do however think, that a rom captain is capable of more dps in any combination.
    Go pro or go home
