I have 1 dual Phased Biomatter beam bank and 3 Phased Biomatter dual heavy cannons. What tac stations do I use for this weapon? Currently I have 4 cannon slots.

    Phaser Relay Console would work for both.

    In general terms it's always advisable to stay with one flavour (phaser in this case), so 4x the Phaser Relay is a worth-while investment. The bonus each will give is slightly smaller than the last, but it's still valuable.

    There are Spire Tac Consoles that are better than the basic Phaser Relays. Just need a fleet credits and some Dil (well, alot of Dil) For some reason, a +Cannon Damage console does less % than a +Phaser Damage console. Not sure why Cryptic did it that way.

    If by 'tac stations' you mean Boff powers? And if you have a Commander level station. I'd say Beam Overload 1, Cannon Rapid Fire 1, Cannon Scattershot 2, and Attack Pattern Omega 3
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    For Boff, I have beam overload 2, cannon rappid fire 1 and 2 and omega pattern.

    I ment for consoles. sorry bout that. And what should I use for engineering and science consoles.

    they did it that way because if you think about it, it makes sense story wise. Putting in a console that effects all energy types isnt going to be as efficient at boosting as a console that boosts one energy type only, requiring less extra features to accomodate other energy types, allowing more room for type specific gear
