Cruiser Engineering Officers

After figuring out other parts of the build, setting up the Engineering Bridge Officer slots seems to be the most troublesome. It seems you are stuck with a lot of skills that share the same cooldown, or skills that have situational effectiveness.

I was trying for having limited shared cooldown skill layout, but failed.

Mostly for PvE.

Anyway, here is my current build, only die to borg invisi-torps, but feels bland.

Commander:
1. EPtW1
2. RSP
3. Aux to Dampners
4. Aux to SIF 3

LT. Commander:
1. EPtS 1
2. EPtS 2
3. Aux to SIF 2

(prefer not to fly a ship with an extra ensign slot)

Boarding parties seem ineffective, and Aceton/Extend/Plasma seem highly situational.

Ideas? It just seems odd that so many builds end up wasting slots to the shared cooldowns.

    Yeah, I prefer not to subscribe to the min/max mentality of Escorts Online.

    You've got 3 copies of Aux2SIF. You only need one, since it's a 15s CD w/ a 15s system CD.

    If you want to be tough,

    EPtW1
    RSP1
    EPtS3
    A2SIF3

    EPtW1
    ET2
    EPtS3

    If you want some more offensive capability

    EPtW1
    EPtS2
    DEM1
    EWP3

    EPtW1
    EPtS2
    A2SIF2


    Eject Warp Plasma is actually a great ability. If you want a more support role, swap out the above commander w/

    EPtW1
    EPtS2
    ET3
    Extend Shields3

    Make sure you hit an EPtX ability every 15s, whichever one you can.

    My bad...

    One of them was supposed to be the Aux to Whatever enhances turn rate/flight speed. Dampners... I'll fix it.

    What a Pratt go get in your escort and do one

    Ewp is fantastic especially for pinning all these speed tankers down

    As a engineer you should be training and using emergency power to shields 3, invaluable

    Aceton beam is a joke
