STAR CRUISER / Engi~

	For all of the weapons, consoles, etc, try to get the highest rarity and Mk you can. It's not a big deal, though. Generally anything that's blue or higher and at least Mk X is a good piece of equipment.

	WEAPONS

	You can use any energy type you like, but make sure it's all the same type! For my Engie I really like the new Polarized Disruptors, since the disruptor proc is good for beam boats and the polaron proc is overpowered as hell (lol).

	Front:

	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2
	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2
	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2
	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2

	Rear:

	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2
	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2
	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2
	Polarized Disruptor Beam Array Mk XI [Acc]x2

	If you're having trouble with weapons power, you can swap out one or two of the  beam arrays for chroniton torpedoes, chroniton mines or cloaked tractor beam mines.

	ITEMS

	Assimilated Deflector Array
	Assimilated Subtranswarp Engines
	MACO Resilient Shield Array

	CONSOLES

	Field Generator, Field Generator (can be expensive, you can get them for dil from
the dilithum store)

	BRIDGE OFFICER SKILLS

	Lt. Tactical:		Tactical Team, Fire At Will II
	Lt. Commander Eng:	Emergency Power to Shields I, Emergency Power to Shields II, Engineering Team III

	Ensign Science:		Tractor Beam I
	Lt. Science:		Hazard Emitters I, Transfer Shield Strength II




	If you follow this build and practice flying her, I promise that you'll do a LOT  more damage than 95% of players in the game. Engineer cruisers can put out hurt, it's just that it's sustained damage and it takes a while.

	Your primary job will always be healing, though. Try to keep yourself alive to start with (don't blow all of your healing skills in a single panicking moment or you'll be in trouble, stagger them out) and when you're more comfortable, start trying to heal your teammates.

	GL, HF and hope this helps a little.
