If it was for you, what would you decide between Cannons build or beam build ? And with type of energy ?
Mood? Aesthetical preference?
The higher the turn rate , the more willing I might be to go towards more strongly restricting firing arcs (from beams to cannons), but that isn't always true. For example, my Romulan Alien Tactical is using a Pilot escort (one of the most maneuverable ships in the game), but using a Dual Beam Bank build with BFAW. Normally I'd use a cannon build, but I deliberately tried out a the BFAW DPS Meta , and it worked well, and it also looked well.
But on my Tactical Escort I'll always use cannon builds, because that just looks best.
It seems to me that a beam array or beam bank build with BFAW is a "safer" bet then a cannon build. But that won't change that I prefer to use cannons on some ships.

i agree it depend mainly from the turn rate.... and there is another thing i realized, all the tactics abilities "Target Subsystem : Shield / Weapons / Engines / Auxiliary are made for Beam, you cannot use it with cannons... That look odd...
Sadly i haven't been able to found "Beam Fire at Will III" on console... Even on the exchange, it don't exist...
I found Beam Overcharge III but at a very expensive cost on exchange...

2.500.000 energy credits on the exchange for the cheaper... it is an tactical ability which coast 5000 energy credits...
