This one is a legitimate question. My Federation Sci character seems a bit lackluster when it comes to ship builds, so I'm deferring to your expertise on this one.
Anyone have any suggestions? I can get any of the T2 Fleet Sci ships, but I also have the Nebula Retrofit, Vesta, Long Range Sci. Vessel Retrofit, and a Wells Temporal Sci ship.
Which one would be best for me to use and what weapons/skills should I slot with it to be effective?

Well in my opinion of what I have seen in use from a buddy of mine, the Vesta is a mean lady. For starters, we have the Aux Cannons it can use. These cannons are ran by auxiliary power, do you know what that means? That means that one of the six weapons you use is tied by Auxiliary power and all of your science abilities are tied to the Auxiliary power. This means that you can divert more power to the Auxiliary Power and not suffer a devastating loss to weapons power. The second thing is the two universal bridge officer stations it has, very handy. Thirdly, a hangar bay, this ship comes with a single hangar bay which helps greatly for whatever build you want. Controller, DPS, Tank, they have a carrier craft that can help you with almost anything! Fourth, as mentioned above about the Aux Cannons, this thing can equip cannons. An uncommon trait for Science Vessels last I checked. The turn rate is at a 12 so you may need to up it with an RCS Accelerator Console, but that is all you really need so that you can more easily put cannons to bear (since you know you have those Aux Cannons  ) Overall the Vesta can become a mean science vessel if you know how to use her right. That is just my two cents worth though. |

I guess my main problem is I can't seem to figure out what tactical skills (if any) to put with my ship's weapons. If I go vesta I'm presuming Tactical Team + Cannon Rapid Fire is a must, but the rest of my ship would likely be torps or mines. I'll have to play around with it I suppose.

Well I have good news, you can slap on as many Aux Cannons as you want on a Vesta last I checked

Seeing as I now have access to the C-store Avenger class, I decided to test a build tonight and it worked pretty well against the borg (I was the only one who didnt die...)
I transferred all my tetryon equipment to the Avenger Battlecruiser and added some special consoles, plus the Tholian torpedo (that sucker is MEAN). She held her own against 3 borg squadrons without losing shields and managing to dish out respectable damage.
I like this ship.

That's cool, but what about for Sci ships that aren't the Vesta-class? I have a mirror deep space sci vessel that has some moderate combat abilities, but she could always use some upgrades. Any suggestions for that?
