I hear you on the consoles! I really wish STO had a more tiered approach to ship designs. Comparing them to each other, there really is no one ship that is a bread winner for a play style. Something always has to give.
I was specifically referring to the Embassy Sci console with plasma DOT as you speculated. I thought your cannons doing a debuff on a target would enhance a DOT bonus even if it is not specifically written, doing a "debuff to all energy types" should include plasma. Since the plasma DOT is 2.5% chance for 15seonds of sustained dmg, It might more than makeup for minor crit loss.
Oh yea, the torp, I was not saying remove it, I meant stick it in the rear end and drop a turret. Im sure its all about the play style, but I figured you were zipping all over the place so front or rear wouldnt matter (and a dual cannon can hit hard, much harder than a turret).
Either way, nice build! Fun discussion. I like learning!
