Fully Spec into Tactical Skill Tree. Nothing special, but it works.  I have a spread loadout to switch to when needed.  I know probably some tweaking could be done, but I like it, no need to mess with it or exhaust trying to Epic the gear.

Sir - by no means am I a "ship-builder" but curious about two things.  Why not get the DHC Quantum Phase Cannon to complete the set (Sunrise mission); +15 accuracy?  Also, how come no "wide" DHC for your forward array?

On my sad, little Tier 4 escort, I used two DHC's, one "wide" DHC, and one Quad DHC.  Also, have the Quantum Phase Cannons (set) on this, but I put my Torp on the aft end, so when I do a hard turn to cloak, I leave a little gift of torpedoes in my wake.   Torpedo III; don't leave star-base without it.

1 simple reason for the cannon is because it's weapon color is blue.  I'd rather match and look canon then put out extra "umpph"  The only reason I stuck with narrow, and not wide arc, is just for play factor.  I'd rather zip around, kick it in reverse when need be.....basically have to "pilot" it more in a sense.  So basically the answer to both is just personal preference.

Thank you, Sir.  Great answer and one we can all understand and relate too.
