For ground STFs a tactical officer's goal is to do as much damage with one shot as possible which is a given tacticals are the best at dealing ranged damage on the ground and give groups huge amounts of burst damage to knock out as many borg as quick as possible
The way this is accomplished is to run the recommended kit fire team which gives you buffs that enhance your damage by a huge amount the mark X version is what you want to shoot for at the very least you can find it on the exchange or in the fleet embassy
Tactics with this kit revolves around tactical initiative you want to use all of these abilites at once: suppressing fire, battle strat, ambush, target optics, fire on my mark for the HUGE burst damage ive found using a pulswave and charging in behind the borg using the secondary fire does the most but if you have to stay ranged use a snipers secondary fire
Before all of the above abilites are used you want to keep your tactical escort and tactical team on cooldown once you use those long CD abilites you do the above to start the burst damage when all of this is complete that is when you finally use your tactical initiative which will DRASTICALLY lower the CD of all the abilites you just used and during the duration you can do the buff rotation at least one more time
TAKE COVER!!!!! tactical officers dont have much in the way of survival if your going for straight dps so dont be afraid to break off an attack and hide behind a wall or tree so your shields can recharge (the dps of a dead man is 0) and be sure to keep large shield charges and hypos on you at all times as you will be using them
This exact kit strategy is the hardest hitting rotation there is for ground but dont be discouraged from trying out other kits your character is only good if you are having fun so if you find another kit you like and really want to make use of plz add tobiaas@tobiaas1 or tobi@tobiaas1 (kdf) and i will help you with strategies and rotations on the kits you favor over the fire team
