Honestly, the build happened because I did the Crystaline Event a lot and was running XI Purple anti-proton and had just come back to the game. I have never liked resilient shields on an escort, covariant fleet offered the best option which is why I didn't go for the set. Mines an dual beam arrays for an escort I also don't like using so I made a mistake by choosing Nukara reputation for this. Ironically it hits pretty hard because of how I have the Boff's set up with the rotating use of rapid fire and spread/high yield. The tetryon benefit of hitting shields I think works very well for an escort it runs a 532 dps and 700+ tetryon so it works well.

Console wise, I always try to have the Engineering Field Emitter for the extra shield power and Science the Field Generator for additional capacity. Using those I gain an edge and with the Capx3 Covariant Shield to make it harder to kill me. Although I do have the hull and shield minor heals to account for anything that drains or bypasses. The Chimera tact console also provides a shield drain that is useful.
