Mirror Universe Ships - What's hot, what's not

At the moment the mirror assault and star cruisers are very cheap, and the KDF mirror battlecruiser about 3x the cost of it's fed counterparts. I don't have huge amounts of EC at the moment, but it would probably be cheaper to buy them now rather than later when supply dries up.

I'm thinking of investing, to give myself some options and variety gameplay wise - but as I have limited experience in STO I need some advice. I'm currently running a fed eng/patrol escort (lvl50, ghetto gear) and KDF Tac/BoP (lv41, ghetto) - I'm making good progress in terms of learning how to optimise the ship equipment/Boffs/Doffs etc, but still have lot's to learn.

In order to get some variety I was going to get some extra character slots, to allow some experimentation with classes and ships, as I realise that my current characters won't work well for all ship/gameplay types - so it would also be nice to know what would work well with the mirror ships given a blank canvas.

Buying extra ships costs quite a lot of zen/dil, so if any/all the mirror ships can work well for either PvP or PvE please share your wisdom.

Thanks

    Honestly don't think the mirror ships are really all that great.... might make good dilithium farmers on the fed side until you can unlock some half decent zen store ships and skip the need to spend dilithium end game.

    Really unlock the fed defiant, perhaps the intrepid if you want a sci ship, or the vulcan sci...

    Think you see where I'm going earn enough Dilihtium convert them to zen points and purchase ships you can use on all and any future toons you role.

    Then you can work on buying the real good lockbox ships... or join a fleet and unlock yourself some fleet ships.

    on the fed side it just lets you fly the stats you want with the ship you want.

    on the kdf side, its a star cruiser with 3 tac consoles, 10 turn rate and duel canon use. at the very least it kills off the negvar completely, and it best its totally better then the star cruiser in every way, except maybe with potential shield capacity or glider damage.

    I'm a science captain and have the mirror star cruiser and wouldn't change at the moment for any fleet ship. I would advise you to buy one as there really cheap I have another 3 in my bank for when i create alts or when if a fleet members wants one.
    I would recommend them for any science captain. If your tactical then may the mirror assault cruiser is better.

    I bought a bunch, they're cruisers that cost new players 120,000 dilithium normally, I grabbed some for new fleet members on the way up :)

    I personally like the mirrorstarcruiser and the mirrorverse vorcha.

    The former, because it is a starcruiser with an assault cruiser skin, and mobility. The latter because it's a starcruiser, that has a very fast turn rate and Big Gun Capability.
