Undine cruiser build help...

I'm fast approaching 50 and interested in the Lobi Undine cruiser for my Tac commander but need some guidance from people who undoubtedly will know far far more than I know. :P

I want to build it as an Attack/damage orientated build to take some damage but also give out damage...
What i'm thinking...
Universal = Tac - giving 2 x tac, 1 sci, 1 engine for the console slots

Problem 1. What skills would you put on the BO's? what would you say is a (must) ? (I'd hate to gimp myself and prospective team/fleet friends by having useless skills - though I imagine a few will be obvious such as Beam weapon skills and reverse polarity)

Problem 2. I have done research and know about the various missions and sets you can acquire for your ship, but I also realise for someone about to reach 50 those sets are still quite a way off.

So I have divided into 2 parts... A} Items I can get now or soon B} Items I should work towards

All advice hugely appreciated. :D

PS... I have quite a few of the 'Undine weapon/console' boxes from the Undine lock boxes, are these weapons/consoles any good? or at least good enough until I get your recommended items?

    fluidic Ap beams, faw and oload both special consoles. and a fleet nutronium or two. sould be a good start. from there focus yourself towards one thing or another. defence or offence. you could go with an a2b build without too many reprocussions. But if your going offensively anyway I would go with 2 EptW and 2 DEM's in place of the a2b's. standard TT, Faw, beta would work best given its turn rate. science take things that augment your build and dont require that frontal cone. equipment Elite fleet warpcore [amp] [wcap] and elite fleet resilient shields [resb] would be best. I only say all this elite stuff assuming that you are getting a lobi ship with 800 lobi and your not adverse to paying for things in a game. as for deflector and engine, a 2 piece borg set is always good for augmentation, so is the 8472 cc stuff for the authentic feel on undine stuff. Consoles, all tac slots filled with ap mags, science should be your special consoles, you could also add a fluidic phase decoupler for some fun, eng consoles 2 fleet nutronium the 8472 weapon console and a tachyokenetic converter.

    Btw im not just saying this, im also planning to do this to mine once I get one. I already have all the stuff for it, minus the warp core. works amazing.

    you can get all these parts now, just requires a small investment on your part. 8472 console is tier 2 so whats that...4 days of doing the rep?! the rest buy zen, trade it for lots of dil. invest a generous chunk into a fleet, go get the stuff. build done

    Thanks for advice but abbreviation over load :P
    Yeah I am going for offence and like the things you have suggested :D

    Just a few follow on questions...

    1. Faw, Oload, eptw, dem's, TT, ?? Abbreviations for?

    2, So as offence, go for 2x tac 1 engine 1x science bridge officer slots?

    3, for this build, what do you think of the Obelisk subspace warp rift + Omni directional beam array?

    Faw=beam: fire at will

    Oload=beam overload

    Eptw=Emergency power to weapons

    Dem=Directed energy modulation

    TT=tactical team

    If you aren't going aux2bat. An amp warp core + counter command 2p turret bonus for disruptor/phaser would do you better
    Chive on and prosper, eh?
