Science Console
The science console is a support console. This console is primarily used to boost small ships stored energy with the power transfer ability and provide pings on enemy locations with radar ping.
The power transfer ability should be used non-stop, as supplying any small ship with extra energy allows them to fulfill their roles much more efficiently. Note that power transfer ability can be upgraded into 1 of 3 types that provide different small ship boosts (see this for more information).
Similarly radar ping should always be used when off cooldown, as knowing your enemy position allows you to plan attacks or retreats. Science console radar pings can also be used with wraiths miner ping ability, this allows you to distinguish between the enemy miners and their offensive ships.
The science console also has some expensive abilities, like purge and arm the yamoto cannon, these abilities should be used when your team has an excess of kermiculite, and after the important upgrades like tier upgrades.
