As the title says I want to buy a discounted ship from autumn sale. My situation is the following:
1) My character is an engineer and I have a retcon available.
2) I have the 2nd Aniversary Oddysey(tankish), but I want to have higher firepower given than tanking does not seem important in the endgame(let me know if I am wrong). Therefore, I want a ship for heavy dps and that can take advantage of my engineer career.
Few months ago, I was advice to get the Armitage, I wonder if based on all changes this would be my best choice.
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice to this casual player.

It gives me very respectable DPS and has good survivability. I'll never achieve Tac/Escort levels of burst/damage, so instead I built my skills and layout around sustained fire. With the exception of ESTF's, my ship is pretty much unkillable in most PVE, whilst making short work of anything in its sights.
Steamrunner - at the moment at -50% discount on Steam. Tactical ship with two lt. engineering boff slots, which is more engi skills than Armitage offers. It also has more hull, 10th console slot and turns a bit better. Personally I would lean more towards this one than the Armitage if I were you.
Vesta - not so great with dps despite what people say, but I'm still able to deal more dmg with it than with any cruiser or science vessel I tried on a non-tac toon. I'm currently flying Vesta on my engi, with lt.cmdr. engineer, and I find it to be a really flexible ship that is still able to tank and support while not being totally useless when it comes to damage dealing (I can solo Raptor spawns in CSE with just EPTW1, CSV1 and TT1 so that's always somethign). Really happy with it.
