I've been having so much fun with my new cruiser build, it's time to share that build with you all. 
Build at STO Academy
sklikkpoint allocation not present in that build yet, will come later together with the respec i'm planning.
Active DOffs (Space):
2x Conn (TacTeam)
3x Technician [1 purple, 2 blue atm] (these are what really makes this build work by reducing the cooldown on all bridge officer abilities (by 26% atm) each time i activate Aux2Bat)
Flying this build feels somewhat like directing an orchestra, with all the different cooldowns and reductions, but if done right it does pack quite a punch for a cruiser. you won't beat an escort of equal skill in DPS, but you can get close as long as there are enough enemies to kill. From what i could observe from playing together with Ango's Kumari it seems this build can dish out enough damage to hold the attention of enemy mobs even with capable escorts around.
Time to watch this build in action (Carraya Elite): [please excuse the quality, the next one will be better ;)]
