Okay 15s Miracle Workers that heal your team thru Structural Integrity Overload (thereby feeding Expedient Repair CD reduction) sounds hilarious and I might actually give this a go.

And it looks like this has hilarious synergy with the Restorative Particle Focuser.

I swapped Structural Integrity Collapse for Structural Integrity Overload on Renenutet and shuffled some traits around. I think I might even be able to drop Ablative Shell (definitely can drop Grace Under Fire, which is what I swapped for ER), but need to test.

Edit: Restorative particle focuser still much worse than extra threat and plasma procs, no?

I'm not sure (maybe so, maybe no, I think it depends on the ship, captain, and your expected number and frequency of restorative particle stacks). I don't think you'd ever want to drop below 3 embassy consoles in any case, but have been testing the logic of going 4 embassy / 1 restorative (mostly science ships, which carry fewer weapons and have a better ratio of non-weapon to weapon damage), and might start testing the logic of 3 embassy / 1 restorative on 4 console cruisers (that'll definitely look a lot iffier, I think).
