    So...the deal with pve is that you want all your weapons in the same arc.

    That said...

    Your two beam arrays and omega launcher in your aft won't be fireing leading to a huge reduction in capable dps.

    If your broadsiding then your torps and DBBs aren't fireing.


    get some more beam arrays in there or focus on your forward arc.
    Why no zero point energy console or experimental rom beam? Missing a 2-3p bonus

    What are your boffs?

    Should throw your build on stoacademy.com...would help a ton
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    i have the exprimental array on there , wasnt to sure about getting the zero point console alot of dith for it .

    my officer ablities are

    beam array fire at will 1
    target engines 2
    beam array overload 3
    attack patter omega 3
    torpedo spread 1
    high yield 2
    science team 1
    transfer shield strength 1
    tachyon beam 2
    tykens rift 2
    emergency power to shields 1
    emergancy power to weapons 2

    should i replce the indoctrination nanites with the zero point console , maybe takeout the omega torp and but the front single array there and get a dual beam or cannons to go in its place?

    Here's my build I ran about a month ago

    might give you some ideas.

    Zero point is definitely worth getting, especially to get hyper flux, it's essentially a free extra pattern beta 1 that you can stack on top of.

    Using a lower mark tier of this but thats what im working for, and since they dont have the quad plasma cannons yet think of one of the front DC as a quad from the ar'kala. With BO3 APO3 and RF1 with the right timing of the weapon battery the build is devastating to anything :D

    Hyperflux,Graviton Beam, Tractor Beam - all of these bonus skills are not available to you at all.

    You don't have the right set pieces.

    I f you are using the Warp Core that comes with this ship you dont need a borg engine, it won't gain you any speed.

    As a science captain beam overload doesn't do you any good you can't alpha strike like a TAC with TT/APA/FOM + APB etc. and it will drain your weapon power down so low your follow up fire will be severely nerfed...guess popping a weapon battery will get some back....

    Tac Team x2? with Sci Team and Eng Team - these boff powers have a mutual cool down, thus 2 of them will never if ever get used. A EP2Sif is a better choice for a hull heal vs Eng Team in this case.

    4 armour consoles? My suggestion would be to reduce them to 2 and get 2 sci fleet Shield consoles.

    2 Tac consoles will also gimp your damage output. 5>4>3>2>1....maybe by 50% of the bonus effect.

    Guess you like cannons....beam ships at 5Km range plus will out gun you from all arcs,
    and under 5Km from the sides and rear....granted you maybe able to turn on the spot with the RCS effect of the armour consoles but when you are being shot from all directions..or held by a tractor..when APO is on cooldown....its gonna hurt.

    You need to also state the Doffs you are using - the good ones are the ones that reduce the cool downs on Boff skills or give extra power boosts on emergency power to x usage

    sure the build has its limits but it works great, and even with the shared cooldown of science team/engie team and tact team i use them all just gotta alternate, and yes the ship does turn on a dime for its size so the cannons are firing 80% of the time. I'd have to check which doffs im using but i can get back to ya on that one =P

    If it works for you - go with it - only person that has to be happy with the build is you. :D

    A lot of people can give advice and have their own opinions - but the final decision is always yours.

    Enjoy! ;)
