Well I am a Fed Engineer using what I keep getting told are rubbish weapons. Mines and the Advanced Radiant torpedo. If you have the STO combat meter http://stodps.com/sto-combat-meter/ you can view my combat log from the league. Heading to work now will post what I did when I get back.

One thing I learnt though is skill timing and piloting make up a lot more DPS then I expected. Its hard to estimate but I would say 20k to 30kdps came from timing of skills and position of the ship.

Most of the time I fly command cruisers with a slight variation on the above build. Hence way some of the above items might not be the best choice. For example the Fabrication Engineer is to extend Invul Field 1 on my command ship. Tachyokinetic Converter & Helmsman is to help with the turn rate on the slower cruisers.

Awesome. Thank you Pottsey

I feel like I am cheating now. Just got 174k DPS due to the stupidly overpowered Quantum Phase torp.
