Really broad request for advice

oneseventyout

So having been playing far longer than I ever thought I would, I'm approaching level 50 and I've read that it starts getting really fun and challenging. I'm coming up to starting the Breen & Borg stories (the Borg one I'm really looking forward to) and I would like to have my ship ready so I don't get complete ruined over and over lol. Based on what I have below, does anyone have suggestions for improvements, consoles etc. I apologise for the vagueness of the question and my ship details, I'm doing this off the top of my head

Captain is Tactical Officer
Long Range Science Vessel (Intrepid Variant)
Fore Weapons - 2 x Dual Phasers, 1 x Transphasic Torpedo
Aft Weapons - 2 x Phasers, 1 x Plasma Torpedo
Regenerative Shield Array, Graviton Deflector Dish, Secondary Deflector, (sorry, can't remember type of Warp Core)
Consoles - These I can't remember lol. I know I have an Ablative hull armour one. Any suggestions on what I have would be appreciated
Abilities/training - Can't remember all but I know I have; High Torpedo Yield, Torpedo Spread, Tachyon Beam, Photonic Grenade(?), Emergency Power to Shields, Brace For Impact, Polarize Hull

Get a set going atleast 2/3 or 2/4 (Engines, shields, core, deflector(s)// Deflector I personally like the Kobali one but that could be me neing an ENG cap..Also the Rom set for weapon bolstering NOT REMAN..

Generally reputation gear is your best friend if you know what stats you need.
As for some general pointers I'd suggest the sto wiki, sto academy's build planner , the DPS league and the sto reddit both the standard and the build subreddit.
There's a couple routes you can take to make your ship as deadly as possible but for that you'll need some more general info about both your ship and the game itself.
