  Hello,
  
  I would remove 1 EPTW and 1 EPTS. Two of each is kind of pointless. Better equip 2 or 3 Damage control engineers to reduce the cooldown. This way you can nicely cycle both abilities every 15 seconds. To replace them: Aux2Sif is a very nice small hull heal with 15 second cool down and EPTE1 (to get quicker into battle ). Also Aux2Damp is very nice to have on a cruiser for better moving. Not sure how the avenger turns, but it also offers kinetic dmg resist and can be buffed with some doff to get more energy dmg resist. This way you could replace polarize hull with science team or transfer shield strength for a second shield heal.
  Maybe exchange BOII and TSIII for TSII and BOIII for more damage. Add in an energy weapons officer with "reduce cooldown on beam abilities" so you can use beam overload every 15-20 s.
  
  Remove the cannon or replace the aft beam arrays with turrets, but i guess cannons are not very strong, if you do not use cannon abilities.
  
  The aft beams never fire, if you fire the front beam and vice versa. Thus, replace one with the kinetic cutting beam (+ the omega rep console for less energy drain) later and get or craft another omni beam. I know crafting lvl 15 takes forever and omni beams are expensive, but as long term goal it might be OK.
  
  Regards

  Strictly mate, for what you want to do (PvE, ESTFs) that is more than good enough equipped, I would suggest your next step should be expanding your knowledge of what needs to be done and in what order during the STFs you want to do - if you haven't tried ESTFs so far, you will gain a lot more from reading up upon the ESTFs that interest you than you will from further gearing a ship more than powerful enough to do what you want it to do.
  
  I would swap Boffs around - specifically Tac and Eng ones, as 4x EPTX isn't the best way, I would swap to ET1, A2B1, and EPTS1, A2D1, EPTW3, DEM3, and Tac would be better as TT1, BFAW2, APB2, and TS1 - As it stands, you lack an attack pattern, a fairly significant flaw, and TS3 is your highest Tac ability but only affects a torpedo, which aren't exactly optimum weapons to start with.

  if you are worried about survivability, then keep the uni eng. if you don't, go tac. Decide if you want to go beams or cannons. if you go cannons you need to replace the aft arrays with turrets and all but one DBB with cannon. otherwise replace the cannon with another DBB or beam array. I like having two beam arrays fore and two aft., so I have 5 on broadsides.
  
  the counter command console isn't doing anything for you where another AP console would be of more benefit.
  
  I would go TS3 BFAW2 TT1, the uni BFAW2, BFAW1 and the ens TT1
  
  for the eng, I would replace the EPTW3 with either RSP or EPTS.
