Voth Flight Cruiser vs Bulwark Dreadnought for tanking

I have been off line for 3 months for graduate school and I get back on to see the Bulwark Dreadnought has been added.

They're almost identical but would the bastion's reactive shielding be preferable to the ward ship?

How does the ward ship work?

    Ward ship revives you. And they're hardly identical. Bastion is the best tanking ship out so far.

    I disagree that the bastain is better. Do you actually have both? I put the 3 piece set in the bulwark and it definitely works best in the bulwark.

    I know this is an older topic, but I haven't felt like i've seen the definitive answer to this yet. If you had all three ships and wanted to go the carrier route, which is tougher, the Bastion with its shield freq or the bastion with its higher hull?

    Bastion:
    +Cheaper
    +Less Crew
    +10 Physical/Kinetic Resist
    +20% Faster Fighter Launch
    +Universal Console makes you immune to damage, debuffs(even subnukes) and reflects damage


    Bulwark:
    +Lt.Cmdr. Universal
    +More Hull
    +Higher Inertia
    +1 Turn Rate
    +10% Hull
    +2.5% crit chance



    My personal Vote is for the Bastion. The Bulwark is a slightly more offensive in nature, but the Bastion is a wonderful Exotic Damage-Tanking Platform that absolutely punishes anything that tries to fight it.

    If you have all three, it really just comes down to preference. I would suggest using the Bastion and Palisade 2-set on whichever you choose and skip the Bulwark console(if you died, you already failed as a 'tank').
