There are a few folks in the Fleet that have tweaked their character's build to a fine point; off the top of my head, I can think of three. There may be others, and hopefully you're not offended if I don't mention you by name.
Shackelford
Ganos'lal
Huckabee
Would any of you gents mind sharing your spec (how many ranks in what skills), and, perhaps, the philosophy and/or thought process behind your picks?
I, for one, would appreciate it; I'm not a fan of cookie-cutter builds, but it'd be nice to see what I could perhaps do to make mine better.

I too would appreciate it, my tac and sci alts are rather shakey in build since I don't know what is the most effective/efficient way to spec them, perhaps I could even learn a new trick or two for my eng :D.

Sorry Huck. My friend wants to actually play the game, not watch you blow everything up.

Wondering if there's anyone that would be willing to help me make my Sci char a little better, that seems to be the only character I know nothing about .
So in other words: bumping for sci help.

I'd bug p'Rett or Ganoslal about Sci, they know it

I think Mr. Jason knows Sci better than me, but I'd still be willing to help you out.

Oh, ok thanks!
Just basically wondering on what skills for Boffs are a "must" and what ones are "nice to have" for PvE/PvP (I already think grav well is a given, already have grav well 3).
When I say "best" on the next points, I mean most efficient/effective:
Also note: I'm in a science vessel.
What shields are "best" (right now I have Aegis covariants on a sci ship, which gives like 8k+ shields at RA44, hoping these scale as you level?).
What weapon load-out is "best"
What power levels are "best" to run on (seems like when I run on balanced my sci skills are awesome but it takes me forever to kill something, even when I PvE on my own).
Might have forgotten a few questions since it is almost 11pm so any other advice would be appreciated! Since I know nothing bout being a Sci officer xD !

I will log on tomorrow and take a look at my various Sci captains and try to see if there's any particular trend I notice.
One thing I will say, though I don't think it's really a huge tactical secret, is to have multiple BOFFs with a variety of abilities/skills. This is especially valuable in PvP, as you note what sorts of attacks are coming your way.
