First of all thanks for your post. You make a lot of good points here.

Currently I use a Breen Raider T5U.
Loadout is as follows: http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?buil...n1411293_0

My skills are currently totally unbalanced, since I maxed out the lower ones when beginning with STO, without knowledge how limited the available points are.

What I search is a skill setting which is more balanced but NOT totally dedicated to ONE ship. I find respec quite expensive and don't want to change my skills everytime I change my ship. So I absolutely agree with your arguments and it would be big fun to test different settings. But this comes to expensive.

I agree to your point maxing out damage, so I maxed both Starship Weapon Skills and dropped some points from Auxilary Performance. Couldn't really make a decision, I fire torps as often as possible, though I don't use "Torpedo Boat"-builds.

On my "shopping list" are
- the Enhanced Bio-Molecular Photon from Counter-Command Rep.
- another Ultra-Rare Eng-Console from Dilimine (perhaps the RCS console, though the raider doen't really lack turn rate)
- and the Delta-Alliance Space set (Shields, Eng, Warp, Def)
