I am leveling (finally) my Rom(Fed) Delta toon I created. I plan to stick with Plasma and stay with Romulan ships, just because.
I'm not trying to create a monster, just a build that will serve me well running solo, but also be a help instead of a burden when running STFs, or TFOs, or whatever they decide to call them next. I am not space rich, not even middle class and my Zen supply is quite low also. Lobi items are definitely out also, which is why I'm asking for a budget build.

I am currently level 44 and have done the skip/play routine so that all missions are now available so any mission reward items will be easy to acquire, and being lvl 44 obviously rep items are a long ways off. I have a few toons that can craft pretty much anything so crafted items are possible and I have yet to put this toon in a Fleet so I can join whichever one has the facilities needed for purchasing the proper Fleet items

My captain is Sci, more because i like being a Sci in ground missions than anything else so I'm not looking to be space magic guru, again just want to be as potent as possible running Plasma and flying a Rom ship.

Zen ships I have available are, Aelahl, Flambard, Kara, Khopesh and Shamsir, I also have most event ships from the last few years if any of those consoles etc will help.

TLDR, looking for the best budget Rom ship plasma build using one of the above ships and mostly mission rewards. Oh, almost forgot, I definitely prefer piloting escort style and running cannons.

Any advice appreciated.

The one thing I'll say right now is that unfortunately, none of the ships you listed support an "escorty/cannons" style. Closest would be the Kara, if and only if you have the console from the T5 Haapax, and can dual-vector into the attack ship.

More thoughts later.
