Captain career, ship hull and bridge-officer seating are separate choices. All three careers can build around energy weapons when the selected hull and training support the layout.
The three captain careers
Tactical
Captain damage and tactical toolsA Tactical captain can fly a cruiser, science vessel or other usable hull; career does not turn every ship into an escort.
Engineering
Captain engineering and recovery toolsCareer abilities differ from bridge-officer seat ranks. The same energy layout can be used by a compatible Engineering captain.
Science
Captain science and utility toolsA Science captain is not restricted to exotic damage; the hull’s seats and chosen equipment define the actual ship build.
