Klingon Endgame ships

I'm coming up on end game very soon with my Orion tactical officer, and I'm starting to eyeball what sort of ship I want when I make LG.

I've had my eye on the Orion Cruiser for awhile now, but the BO setup has me a little disheartened. I don't plan on doing much in the way of PvP with this guy, he'll mostly be PvE and STFs.

So I've got my eye on the following ships:

Guramba Siege Destroyer

Marauder Patrol Cruiser

Kar'Fi Battle Carrier

My experience Starfleet side has primarily been escorts (Defiant, primarily) and the occasional cruiser, for my engineer. Galaxy-X, Excelsior, Galaxy Retrofit and Sovereign specifically.

Frankly, I'm just not sure what to get on my Orion. I'm wondering if folks with experience KDF side could give me some advice on what sort of experience I can anticipate with the above ships, before I spend money and or tokens / emblems on one of these.

Thanks in advance :)

    If you're just going to be PvEing then any of them will work well really.

    The Guramba (also known as the goomba) is basically the Fleet Escort, and the Marauder is basically the Star Cruiser. The main things to note are the special abilities and that the Marauder is going to be converted to a single-hangar carrier soon.

    The only one that I don't recommend is the Kar'fi, but then again there are a few people who swear by it (I just can't stand it personally).

    I know this probably isn't helping much but then again you really just have to get a feel for the ships and what's unique about them. :o

    The Guramba is not available via the token if that helps narrow the field. I have flown my Kar'fi quite a lot and do like it but cannot talk of the Marauder as although I own one I havent took it out in any serious mission yet as I keep reverting to my Vor'cha retrofit

    I'm flying the Vor'Cha retrofit as tac at endgame. It can keep up with anything in pve and can holds its own in PvP as well.
    I'm fklying it sorta like a obese escort, speed and cannons.

    Love my Vor'cha but if I have to go escort .. The Guramba is fun.

    Kar'fi ftw. But you need a decent Science-BO to get the most bang from your buck.

    both carriers are awesome
    But BOP is the best ship in the game. But you need to be on your toes

    I would love to see a more tactical lean to thier designs though (and a T5 BoP too)

    K'Tanco E:eng E:eng E:sci LT: tac
    K'Tinga E:eng LT:eng LT:sci LTC: tac
    Vor'cha LT: eng LT: eng LT:sci Com: tac
    Vor'cha Refit E: eng LT:eng LT:sci LT:tac Com: Tac
    Negh'Var E: eng LT: tac LT: sci LTC: eng Com: tac
    Vor'cha retrofit E: tac LT: eng LT: sci LTC: tac COM: eng


    of course that may just be me.

    Tac/Kar'Fi ftw.

    You get enough Tac BOs (Lt and LtC) to make your Tac captain buffs shine... and you can use a Tac-boosted GW 3. GW 3 + Tac Captain = omfgwtfpwn.

    God, this sucks.

    I'm really digging the stats on the Kar'Fi Carrier, but the Orion MPC has 8 guns with a hanger coming with F2P. Leaning towards the MCP because my character is a Privateer, he's not exactly a fan of the KDF.

    I made BG over the weekend and went with the carrier route, to get an idea of what my end game is going to be like. Have to say I'm really pleased with the 6 turrets / 2 Hanger deal. CRF and CSV do well against mobs.

    Quick question for MCP pilots:
    Unlike other Klingon Battle Cruisers, the Marauder Patrol Cruiser can not equip Cannons or Dual Cannons.
    Does this include turrets, or no?

    Turrets can be equipped on anything, as well as (single) Cannons, including the Marauder.

    Wait, then that quote is inaccurate? I got that off of the STO Wiki

    Yes, that is inaccurate. The Negh'Var, Vor'cha, Kar'fi, and Vo'Quv can equip Dual and Dual Heavy cannons and are the only ships that are not Escorts/Raptors/BoPs/Gurambas/Tactical-oriented ships that can do so.

    Every ship in the game can equip single Cannons and Turrets.

    Thank you! I wanted to make damn sure, before I spent my LG token on it :)
