Can we get something Science based?
Not only has there not really been anything released that is Sci based (As in raised by Sci based stats) the RR and KDF could really use a nice T6 Sci ship.

Can't have a honest conversation because of a white knight with power

I think there is, in a way.
I've been looking at the hybrid officers/ships and just as an observation based on the powers:
Tactical:>Pilot
Engineer:>Command
Science:>Intelligence
When you look at their powers and abilities along with their stats, everything related to the Intelligence skill tree has roots in Science powers/abilities.

Ionic Turbulence = Sci.
SNB Carrier Wave = Sci.
Evade Target Lock = Sci.
A lot of the Spec Tree is even heavily Sci-oriented, like Redundant Sensors.
Sure, there are outliers (like OSS and Surgical Strikes), but I think that's largely due to the fact that it was the first spec, so they didn't quite know which direction they were going (hence why it's pretty OP), and they needed something to appeal to the non-Sci crowd.
Intel Spec is both Tac and Scie focused.
Comander Spec is both Tac and Engi focused.
So we need a sci eng one? I vote a mad scientists one... What star trek is full of them :P
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
This seems far more accurate to me.
And lets be honest, this is STO.. if an ability doesn't have at least some focus on Tactical it will be a huge flop.
Hazard Emitters and Aux2Structure beg to differ. I doubt you can find a dozen people don't have one or both on every ship they fly lol

You know you can have those very basic abilities on a very Tactical oriented build?
Command and Inetel boff seats are more often than not Eng/Sci hybrids though. So between those two basic abilities or the shiny new 'Tac angled Eng/Sci' boff powers, guess which more people choose?
That aside, I'm really not impressed with the Intel powers, I've got all the ships but only ever use Int Team. Command powers are better, I love Overwhelm Sensors

If you got all those Intel ships and never took advantage of OSS, SS, Ionic Turbulence, EMP Probe (?), you never experimented with Intel and tried some of its best.
I never said that I didn't experiment with them, only that I wasn't impressed. Gravity Well>Ionic Turbulence, Fire at Will>Surgical Strike, OSS I found to be utterly useless as I have Red Mater Capacitor which does the same thing but no downside
Intel Team is useful since it can get you out of a hotspot as I found. The only other Intel power I found interesting was Transport Warhead, which is extremely entertaining depending on the torp used.

Dude... Red matter capacitor or takes forever to recharge, I can have my OSS3 up every 30 seconds. Can your RMC overcap your weapons to 175!? That's a 25% damage bonus BTW. FAW can't melt single targets like SS3 can. In PVP it will **** you much faster.
*hisses* PVP, *shudders* Un uh, not going anywhere near that, not touching it. Besides you don't need to do more than 30k DPS in PVP as only two ships would survive a single Alpha Strike at that point, and they would die with the second volley.
In the end, to each their own, I'm quite happy with my 30k DPS JHDC, no Intel powers, but she's more than enough for me ^^

It should be 2% per point, so going from 125 to 175 would be a 100% increase - not a 25% increase.
50 = 100%
75 = 150%
100 = 200%
125 = 250%
175 = 350%
I did tests and only seems to buff energy weapons by about 25% when all said and done... But that still makes for some wicked Alpha strikes.
I guess something Sci/Eng based could be cool.
I'd say Command is more Engineering/ Science since it's a support specialization and that pilot is Engineering/ Tactical flavored
