Brandon, if you don't mind sharing, what power presets do you run this on?

Do you run STF's with this build? I imagine if I could get away with doing this. I spend quite a lot on ground abilities when I wish I could put more into space.

One of these days I will try the Defiant... but I don't know what I would do without my 3 engineering consoles :ohmy:
