Star Trek Online at Ten Ton Hammer

Captain's Log, Stardate 63503.21

The U.S.S. Abyss is in drydock for repairs... again. My Science Officer, Lieutenant Commander Sivak, informs me if I were better versed in Starship Deflectors, his Tachyon Beam would do more damage to enemy shields. I promptly informed him that knowledge of this fact would have been more useful before our engagement with three Romulan Warbirds today.

The information is out there, but it's akin to translating the hieroglyphics of ancient Earth. Rather than continuing to force their officers to trudge through this cryptic system, I've suggested Starfleet Command provide some clear instruction in its use. Since they have yet to see the wisdom of my request, enjoy this guide until they get around to altering this frustrating system.
