I switched form a SCI to a Tactical Ship

After getting killed in My Tier 5 Sci ship so many times, I switched to a Fleet Escort.
Now if only I could respec into a Tactical Officer that would be great.
Just putting it out there.

    Ask yourself this: WHY?

    All classes currently can fly all classes of ship equally well, as a Sci captain you don't have some skills that are specific to Tactical Captains, but you have debuff skills that Tac Captains WISH they had, given the Escort's fragility. You can make up in part for your not having Tac Captain skills by proper training of Bridge Officers (to be specific, in space have your Tac BOs trained in Cannon:Rapid Fire, High Yireld Torpedo, and the Attack Patterns)m use your debuff skills in conjuction with them you're gold. Sure, you don't have the DPS of a Tac Captain, you're also not as much of a glass cannon either as a pire Tac in a Escort - your Captain has abilities that can debuff the enemy or prevent them from firing at all - use them!

    One of the great things about this game is you can multi spec without effort. It is a complete play stayle that governs your role in game. Sci can fly escort, BoP, Raptor or cruiser without any restrictions. This can be said of any class of player to ship. I have a Tac Captain in a Cruiser that is mostly heals. Although she does provide plenty of DPS she really helps to keep the team alive.

    I have a Science that is a healer and one that is CC. You can change your kit and be plenty effective reguardless of how you set up your skills. However, skill setup is what will really set you apart from your class and ship class. Gear tends to be a secondary to the BO skills and your own skills.
