I'm running a T6 Scim with an all AP Beam Array setup (Normal BAs fore, Omnis aft with a KCB), and I have a couple of queries re consoles and core/deflector/shield/engine sets.
Atm I have the usual 5 AP locator tacs, the crunch point is what I run alongside those:
- Crystalline Absorption Matrix- for the AP dmg and energy dmg res
- Plasmonic Leech- helps considerably with beam power drain
- Sustained Radiant Field- Shield & Hull heal with all damage
- Assimilated Module- Crit Chance & Severity, Hull Regen, weapon power + weapon amplifier from set bonus
- Zero Point Energy Conduit- extra power all systems + Crit chance
- Hydro Compensator- Eng & Aux power, +19 Accuracy and 24% turn rate. Latter v. handy for Scimitar
All my gear is MK XIV
Are these the best consoles I can use with the ship or are there better ones out there? I've heard about the polymorphic probe array as one example, and if it's as good as its stats suggest, which of my existing lineup should I pull?
The second part is as follows: I'm currently running the Sol Defense set with the Temporal Phase sing. core- should I just switch to the Iconian set as many are doing, or are there others better suited for the task? I have plenty of dil & marks so that's not a problem. As far as I can tell, most of the sets cores offer Amp at UR rarity.
Some further info: Thanks to my BOFFS and Player traits my Crit chance is 29% and severity 95%.
Thanks in advance!

And of course never forget about embassy consoles with plasma explosions in sci slots. Drain X for leech and EPG for sci DPS is most useful. DPS minded folks use those above *all* else and as many as they can slot. If I’m not mistaken feli made his 410k isa run on a Sci scim having 5 embassy consoles slotted.
Here is my current Scim btw:

Far less aggressive than feli’s mostly due to boff powers and the fact that it is the engineering version. The advantage is that my teddy bear can plot this one even in bad pugs with easy 100k+. I just have to count the Dil afterwards.
My next step here is to try to get the astika trait and see if I can lose the borg set in favor of 3-pice flagship. Delta Prime would have to go then as this is not a + threat build (at least not by design). Got enough of those on other chars.
