Want to create Vo'quv character; Engineer or Science?

Title pretty much says it all. I'm planning on building another toon to fly a Vo'quv. I don't know what his specialty should be though. There was a thread similar to this a little over a year ago where someone replied to be an engineer, but I don't know if anything perhaps changed over the year (I doubt it though). So, I want your opinions on this. I know a lot of carrier flyers out there who are science officers, but that thread said the Vo'quv was different and was meant to have a more tankish (tankish?) role.

I really think either captain type could do quite well in either version.

The positive side is its a lot cheaper to do experiments than it used to be lol.
I advice going with 6 beam arrays and using TT1, FAW2, ApB2 on your tac bridge officer. This setup really helps increase the damage of your pets as well as your team mates, add to that 6 points in threat control and the borg will fall in love with you.
One of my Tacs flies a Mirror Vo'Quv...it's somewhat surprisingly effective. It's fun to GDF with that kind of buffer...still, I've daydreamed about them having a Fleet MU version, running Fleet Disruptors, the new B'rolth...oh well, eh?
The Lt.Com Engineer & Tac mean almost any option is available, the only flaw I can find in the design is the Fleet Version should have a Universal Lt.

and u have monster ............
Always with Some selection of Dual, dual heavy or quad cannons, sometimes a torpedo, 2 turrets and a kinetic cutting beam.
Consoles, Energy-damage boost-y ones for what ever energy type you use. The rest of mine are some random mixes of shield boosts, armours and universals.
No need for RCS, if you're a good pilot
Hanger Craft - I find 2xB'Rolths or 2xAdvanced Orion Interceptors work best.
I also have a lot of fun with energy siphons with it. Maxing out all your power levels doesn't hurt
The day will not save them. And we own the night.
As far as pets, I use Elite Scorps and Advanced slavers. The slavers used to be great for contra, but are bugged and not stealing **** anymore. But when working as intended, you get a great balance.

i have new klingon char and my goal is prime universe Vo'quv Carrier ....i test mirror on another char loaded with cannons and now i want this one ,
plan is - i have KDF tactical for AP Alpha + mark target etc .....
1 boff : tactical with TT , torp spread 2 and APB 2 - later i plan switch throse 2 skills if i find trainer for spread 3
2 engineering - EptS 1+2 (for shield healing + bonus to shield power) and aux to structural 2 (short cooldown healing + res )
3 science with Hazard Emitters 1+2
4 science boff i have purchaes but i dont have room for him now (i use secont tactical and raptors for fast leveling) , its a lethean with eff trait
i plan on him Jam sensors , TB repulsors , Gravity Well and Viral Matrix (3)
hangars : one with fighters , second with B'rels
weapons : plasma torps , DHC + beam array front , 2 turrets + one array aft (or another torpedo launcher instead one turret )
idea is spam enemies with spreads plasma torps (and their nice DoT)
That part is easy - Jem'Hadar Tactical Boff. You can claim as many as you like :P

I've tried Cannons and Turrets but found I preferred beams, Dual Beam bank gives nice forward fire power. I'm using the Romulan Experimental Beam Array (doesn't use power) and the Hyper Plasma Torpedo (Console too for 3p) Got the Borg Cutting beam and the Assimilated Module for that 2P.
I'd put a Polarise Hull and a Transfer Shield Strength on there personally. 2 HE with the A2SIF seems like too much Hull Healing.
Do you need Jam Sensors? You can fly out of Range and let your pets do the work? Also Gravity Well and TBR have good synergy, but Viral Matrix not so much. Tryken's Rift & Energy Siphon with a wing of Siphon Drones and BoPs would synergise much better with Viral matrix. Combine that with Plasmotic leech and some Polarons and watch your opponent mount 0 defense.
Make sure to get the Gravemetric Scientist for multiple Rifts/GWells and the DOFF who spreads Viral matrix around.

Yeah I don't think Hanger Pets are working as intended at the moment. My BoPs are doing so so much worse than they did pre-patch.
