Looking for advice, Science Carrier.

Please only helpful need respond.

Alright, so after about 2 years of playing the game I finally decided to go ahead and do a science carrier captain because quite frankly, I'm just sick of chasing DPS and I finally want to play the game my way and and have fun, if that means less DPS and more fun I am absolutely fine with it.

Unfortunately, being an tanky engineering beam boat primarily, I'd like to try something different and I'm not quite sure where to start with science and I would like some advice on skills, traits and ship builds. I plan to play mostly a support-carrier role providing healing, buffs and crowd control to not only other players, but my hangar pets as well.

I have 2 dedicated Carriers I would really like to get some use out of, the Jupiter Class carrier and the Breen Sarr Theln. I'm not too picky about which one I primary, I like the breen frigates for their super shield drain, but I like the Jupiter for... well she sure is ugly, but the Callisto frigates are extremely powerful from what I've experienced so far.... as long as they line up.

I don't want to invest too much Dilithium, EC and zero Zen, for once without spending money like an overrated rapper, I'd like to get a decent build from missions, reputation and fleet gear, so advice is welcome.

I know advice on star ship traits can be iffy, especially if I'm not willing to drop hundreds of millions on a ship just for the trait, so below is a list of ships that I currently own that have a star ship trait.

Guardian Cruiser
Eclipse Intel
Phantom Intel
Jupiter Carrier
Command ship bundle (all 3 Federation command ships)
Dauntless Science Vessel
Temporal Dreadnought Cruiser (Chronos)
Breen Sarr Theln Carrier
Vorgon Xyfius
Kobali Samsar Cruiser

I also have both the Delta Recruit and Temporal Agent star ship traits.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out, I appreciate it.

I use the Jupiter alot and find it's great as a Sci carrier, especially if you have the Delta Flyers for their Tac Beams. I mainly use the Sunrise set plus Agony Phasers with the assimliated weapon set. Works well IMO. Use Hazard Emitters and Reverse Shield polarity as your main heals with Grav Well, Tac Beam and TBR (for herding...lol). Hope this helps. I can't remember the full build off hand.
