Well, having won and sold a Voth Bulwark(don't get too jealous, my tv broke the next day, woo :( ), I've got a windfall of spare cash, so I figure I'd use it to buy 4 or so lobi/lockbox ships off the market. Prob is, I have no idea what to look for, barring maybe getting both the Tal Shiar ships on my Rom/KDF Eng. Here is what I do have though, as I don't really wanna double up on anything, unless the D'kora was cheaper, cause I'd love to put that on a Tac, but anyway, heres what I do have, make some suggestions on what to get that I DONT have:

Recluse
Orb Weaver
Temporal Destroyer
Jem Hadar Dreadnaught
Dkora

    I got the Tal Shiar Adapted battle Cruiser for my Liberated Borg Romulan, gotta say I love it. I wouldn't recommend it if you are use to singularity core abilities but that would be the case for any lockbox or lobi ship.

    The Temporal Destroyer is pretty squishy with its special console, or so I find. The AI seems to know to just target your 'past' ship and destroy you and the future ship in one go.

    Yeah hate that too just dont use it is my response

    On lobi ships i think you got the best ones already. Just save your money for future ones or invest in doffs if you're not already stacked with the good ones.

    Get the Wells, it's awesome and you can use it's console on the destroyer if you like that ship.

    The Mobius is a wonderful ship, good console layout, great stats and can turn on a dime with a single Adv. RCS...

    Drop the Mannhiem Device though... it is suicide.

    Get the Galor and the JHEC or save for a JHAS and get the JHEC, too.. you already have the JDC so they fit very well into your collection and they are all great ships!!!

    I would personally direct you toward the Galor Cruiser. Outfit it with Dual Disruptor Beam Banks (fore) with a Torpedo Launcher of your choice and a further three Beam Arrays (aft) and another Torpedo Launcher (or tractor mines). The Compression Beams are good, but I found them better suited to a less agile cruiser (during the above time I used them on a Galaxy Class I think).

    I've used the Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort and couldn't get along with it. That was on an Engineering character though, so a potential reason as to why it didn't work for me. Otherwise, if you wish to focus on your Romulan, then the Adapted Vessels sure do look nice.

    I'm only playing Engineers, so can't help you with TAC/SCI advice.

    I like using the temporal destroyer myself.

    I took the Mannheim off, that console is trash. If I want a pet console I'd run my MVAE, least when they get hit or killed due to stupid AI and warp core breaches they don't get me killed.

    But the BOff layout is great and offers a lot of flexibility.

    I ahve the recluse on a sci the JHDC on a sci and a tac and the Mobius on an Eng. all of them are fun, and i would say narrow your choice to the Recluse or the JHDC, but I'm a carrier oriented person.

    The recluse is a BAMF, for sure. It's the only lockbox/lobi ship I have though, so I can't speak for the others.
