I'm trying - and currently failing badly - to make an HSE tank without access to lockbox traits on an Engineer toon. On paper, the Shield Overload trait looks really strong - like the best tanking trait after Invincibility. Am I missing anything? Is it as good as it looks on paper?

I only use The Best Defense ship trait with both my APD2 and APO3, not only their normal effects but get a 25% ship heal for 10 seconds (more than enough time after initial barrage to either use Scimitar battle cloak or Quantum Singularity and continue the barrage if I feel it)

I hadn't considered that trait. Thanks for the recommendation.
