I need some ideas on Science Consoles. I am a Cmdr with an escort and a science ship and need some input on the science consoles. Seems like I have not been able to pick up any good ones during my game play. Where would I pick up some good ones? Any ideas on other consoles will help me out. Also the besst shield and deflector combo. I know this is alot to ask but any ideas will help. Thanks.
The consoles you choose need to benefit yours, and your Science BO's abilities. The type to get entirely depend on those abilities. Look at your Science BO powers and see what category they are then pick Consoles which augment those abilities. If not from drops I generally get mine from the Exploration Merit vendor about the shipyard in Sol. Basically the same goes for Deflectors: use the one that most benefits your ship's science abilities.
Shields really depend on your play style. I favor Covariants for the higher numbers but ships that keep a high Shields value would do well with Regens. Resiliants are good for low-hull vehicles, but again, it really depends on your stye of play. The best thing to do is just try several different ones until you find the type that best fits your needs for a particular ship.
I've got a follow up question. Do the consoles ability stack up? Say for instance I have three of one type of tactical console (phasers) will that stack it up?
