So I finally was able to create a Skill Planner link for my new T6 Tactical Star Cruiser.  I typically fly escorts and am not used to the large cruisers but I wanted something that could be less squishy than my Phantom escort but yet pack a punch.  I hope to post some DPS numbers tonight.  I was trying to level up the command specialization and made that primary.  With that and a Pilot as secondary I was getting 14k DPS out of it.  I am going to make intel my primary tonight to see if that helps.  - Any recommendations on bringing the DPS up on this?

I also need to add in the specs on the weapons as I created this away from the game. I logged into the Beta site which was pretty cool and got some base info from there. - beta Sto link - https://auth.startrekonline.com/

Note: The Delta beacon operates by the same rules as the Nimbus Distress beacon, i.e. you don't have to carry it in a device slot. I recommend swapping that out with aux batteries, or possibly scorpions from "the Vault" mission if that's your thing.

I would...

.... use much less command skills.
Uni/Cmd LtCdr: Tac/Cmd BOff (Overwhelm Emitters 1, Attack Pattern Beta 1, Torpedo Spread 3)
Uni Ens: Tac BOff (Tactical Team 1)
Tac LtCdr: (Tactical Team 1, Attack Pattern Beta 1, Fire at Will 3)

... assign the Engineer to power and repairs, going for a Drake Build - it simply makes one happy
Eng Cdr: (Emergency Power to Shields 1, Engineering Team 2, Emergency Power to Weapons 3, Reverse Shield Polarity 3)

... use keybindings, my approach is here, there are many more

Excellent recommendations. I have been wanting to set up keybindings for awhile and now I think it is about time.

Thanks Invixus - that makes sense. I will free up that slot now.

After making some of your suggested changes I am up to 26k on ISA tonight.

CLR—Infected Space[5:21]— Dmg(DPS) —Heimdall 12,109,282(38,080) Class Gann 11,964,618(37,273) Lance 8,269,911(26,506) Wesley 4,123,212(13,007) Tyrce 1,955,025(6,539) 

This was a huge improvement and I didn't even set up keybinds yet.
I am checking out this video and the suggestions here on the whole keybinding process.
