I know it's early but are there any skill builds out there?

Really don't have time or desire to experiment.
better yet is there a cogent explanation of the trees out there?

I appreciate @coldnapalm for his post but you lost me after "grab EVERYTHING from tact".
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I haven't tried it, but honestly.. it looks too 'glass cannon' for my taste. I might try it on Tribble just to see what it can do, but for my actual build on my main I like to be able to dish as well as receive. These suggestions are a bit too lopsided for my taste, but they'll get you the biggest possible damage numbers.
I put it on with some minor modifications to survivability on my lead space tac toon. As DPSer my original plan for a layout was quiet similar anyways. If one slots the energy refrequencer trait from reput one gains massive auto healing on high DPS builds so one is not as much of a glas cannon as one thinks. My buddy actually made his build quiet tanky with gear and boff powers only and also has no real difficulties when going full tac in tree.
One thing is for sure! Focused Frenzy is a blast already when only 2 peeps in team have it (with the team benefits unlocked).
I haven’t made any final decisions yet but I’m very close to go full tac in tree on all my toons so scis and engineers too. It’s not as if we would not have multiple other means around for self-protection or enhancement to sci attributes.
All in all I really think the Devs handled the new tree as well as the new specilization really fine.
Game wide DPS will undoubtable increase over it but it’s not as much of a powercreep disaster as it could have been.
Would not surprise me though if the Metal DPS dudes push someone to 300k over it in an controlled ISA environment by the end of the month.

Most of the tooltips are pretty good, so just pick what you think you'll need and you should be fine.
I would move the 1 point from Control since I don't need that and put it into Full Impulse Shunt. I'm surprised they didn't take that, I personally find it a 'must have.' Without it, it just takes too long to normalize your power levels when you drop out of full impulse.
I took the 3 points from the Hangar Pet abilities in the Admiralty tree and used those points to take 1 point of Shield Hardness (Commander,) 1 Point of Shield Regeneration (Commander,) and 1 into Hull Capacity in the Lt. Tree.
It would reduce the effectiveness of Focused Frenzy, but would grant increased hull and shield as well as shield resists. I'm going to play with it a little more, but I'm not sold on the idea of selling out fully into the tac tree just for the ultimate. That long cool down makes me weary of focusing my build toward obtaining that skill.
thanks for that I will give them a try, can always respec in the future if they don't work out.

Depends. Although it would be helpful to know your toon's class.
"B/I" and "B/I/A" refers to how many boxes along the Basic/Improved/Advanced progression
Engineering: Hull Restoration: Impulse Expertise B/I; Hull Plating B/Energized/Ablative; Defensive Substem Tuning, Offensive Subsystem tuning; Warp Core Potential B/I; Engineering Readiness
Science: Shield Restoration; Shield Capacity; Control Expertise B/I; Drain Expertise B/I; Shield Hardness B/I/A; Long Range Targeting Sensors B/I/A; Scientific Readiness B/I; Shield Mastery
Tactical Energy Weapon Training B/I/A; Targeting Expertise B/I; Defensive Maneuvering B/I; Weapon Amplification B/I; Weapon Specialization B/I; Hull Penetration B/I; Shield Weakening B/I; Coordination Protocol B/Defensive/Offensive; Tactical Readiness B/I
I use the plasmatic biomatter torpedo which is a projectile that gets its bonuses from directed plasma weapons instead of plasma projectiles. Kind of the best of both worlds at the moment.
