Hello all,
Now that someone was kind enough to give me the Narcene I so wanted to fly, I'm looking for help with figuring out how to equip it, both in terms of ship gear and officers for the available slots!
I am a tactical officer, myself. Having been gone for a long time while dealing with my disability, I don't have much EC at all, and the best gear I have to transfer is from my own time. I had been flying a Chimera Heavy Destroyer with a full Borg quest set and lots of cannons. Probably not the best gear to shift over, but if it works at all, then beggars can't be choosers.
Any guidance is welcome! All that I'd ask is you please remember how long I've been away. I may not remember all of the acronyms, and I'll probably have no idea as yet about where special consoles and such are earned. Thanks so much!

The narcene has a universal rank 3 boff (bridge officer) so you have a lot of options. It absolutely can run cannons and blast things, or hang back with beams. If you put an engineer in the slot you are very tanky, or a science officer could give you gravity well.
So what do you like to do and then we can help you get the most out of your new ship.
Well, being a tactical captain, I can't deny a love for my dual heavy cannons! That said, a very kind player who is advancing his crafting skills gave me a ton of different beam weapons. So, I have options there.
I suppose my ideal choice would be to hang back a bit and blast away with cannons while my frigates assist. However, for the time being, I have been working on setting up with those beams I mentioned and my Borg quest set.
The greatest point of difficult for me has been deciding on consoles. As well, what to put in the universal slot. For now, I have an engineer there, but I could readily swap.
The Narcine is a formidable "Beam Boat" all on it's own, add probably the current best pets in the game to it (the Mobulai Frigate it comes with), and it's more OP'ness, than the former OP'ness king, the Scimi.
I'd run with an Engi in that slot, because your powers can take care of Attack Patterns, Crit Boosts and BOFF CD's, so use the spot for heals, and power buffs
