Basically, the setup I'm going for is (as a Klingon), a Tholian Recluse Carrier equipped with the Energy Web console from the Orb Weaver and some other weapons I get normally. What would be the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to get this, with up to ?40 to spend?

Play the exchange. Costs you zero real live cash, requires only a million EC to start.
You need to learn a bit about ingame economics, and there is not a single "do this, will be perfect"-option.
Add in some "Tour the Universe" which nets you 1Mio+ EC per hour, if you don't mind grinding a bit.
Add DOFF Recruitements, whites sell for up to a million EC each, greens will follows soon when more starbases reach higher tiers.
Duty Cadres sell quite well either.
If you don't like this, use your money for buying C-Store stuff and/or Dilithium (which you trade in for craftingstuff) and sell it on exchange. Will net you at least 80Mio EC.
(Reinforcement Packs can sell for more than Master Keys, the latter sell much faster though).
Recluse is around 105Mio EC
Orb Weaver around 95Mio EC
add another 1-6Mio for other stuff (way more for MKXII Consoles).
You can always try to be lucky and get 3 Orb Weavers out of 20 Lockboxes, but this will be very unlikely.
Sorry, I'm still reasonably noobish to all the terms, please could you tell me what they mean? I understand most, but what I don't understand is above.
And thanks for the ideas
"Playing the Exchange"
It comes down to a simple rule: "Buy low, sell high".
Everyone has their own opinions what is right or too low.
For example: Master Keys sell very high atm, and still it varies during a day.
You can buy them in the morning for 1.8 Million EC, and sell in the evening for 1.95 Million EC. Nets you 150.000 EC just for waiting, doing some clicks and doesn't require a minute. (the range varies even more)
Just find a market you are comfortable with (Data Samples, Consoles etc.) and try it out.
Even small margins can work to large profits per day.
"Tour the Universe"
This is an event on the calendar (click Star Trek Symbol near minimap to check).
While it is active you can go the Earth Space Dock (not sure for Klingons atm), get a mission to "tour" all sectors. For each complete sector you get up to 50.000EC (depending on character level). There are 7 Sectors to complete and you can repeat it during event hour if you like. There are various "optimal" routes on the net.
"DOFF Recruitements"
Check your local Academy for a "Personnel Officer", he gives you Duty missions to recruit Duty Officers. Its just some clicks and you need to wait some time to let them complete. They are repeatable and one of them gives a "Junior Officer Cadre".
These sell nearly instantly.
Since you require tons of Duty Officers to build Starbases, they sell pretty good.
ATM those with a white border sell very good, later Starbase Tiers require green/blue/purple borders though. So the time to sell them for super duper EC will come, once enough Fleets have higher Starbase Tiers.
Hope this is enough before your head starts to explode
If you need more detailed information, just check the STOwiki
The information is sometimes outdated, but usually it gives a good hint.
Two final q's:
1: Possible to convert ZEN to EC?
2: Will the Energy Web work to its full (the active ability) on the Recluse Carrier? It says it can only be equipped on the Orb Weaver or the Recluse.

This
I really need to know (1), (2) I think will work, but if people could answer that'd be great.
2. As far as I know, the console's power or effect shouldn't change with the ship it's on.
What would you recommend as good items to sell?
I managed to work out the cost- around, if I cannot buy the console directly, 201 million EC. Can anyone work out, on average, how much that would be? If you can, thanks a million, but if not, dw, you already helped me loads. Thanks! ^_^
