If you want an Odyssey, get the C-store version. Fleet version is only the old Anniversary edition, which is 9 consoles and can't be upgraded, whereas the C-store version is 10 consoles and gets all the benefits usually associated with Fleet upgrades. Yes its backwards, thats just how it is.

I'm still waiting on my T6 Fleet Science Odyssey Refit. I don't know what's taking them so long. I've been throwing money at my screen but it won't take it!

Fleet Galaxy is the best tank (Go for the Tier 6 version for the ltc tact station). Although the Ambassador isn't bad either with her ltc sci station to compliment the command engineering. But remember the more dps you can dish the quicker things die so the less of a pure tank you'd need.
The Fleet Sovereign, Eclipse, Avenger, Excelsior are decent tanks that hit back. TBH other than the Fleet Odyssey most of the tier 5/6 cruisers are good. Just depends on you're style of play.
If you want a pure tank that is a static brick and brings little else to the arena, Tier 5 Galaxy. But i'd recommend the Tier 6 version if you went for the Galaxy superior in every sense.
if you want a ship that has a little versitilaty Fleet Ambassador has a nice mix as mentioned of Sci and Eng stations.
Guardian as well falls into that category
The other cruisers well its a choice between Intel/command skills, turn rate and looks.
I honestly think the Science Odyssey is perhaps the best tank. Still use it, there's nothing in the game that can touch me really this includes PvP as well.
Other amazing tanks would be Tholian Recluse, new battle cruiser and of course the Guardian is now one of the best.

I don't have any experience with the Odyssey variants, but I used the Assault Cruiser Refit, and I have also flown the T6 Guardian and Eclipse. The Guardian can be pretty tanky and still pack a punch. She also handles a bit like a beefier Asssault Cruiser.

Ok tnx for the advice.
Which one of the tire 5 ships is the best tank.
Why would you want to put "TIRES" on a Tank??

I haven't tried the Manticore yet, but have upgraded from the Avenger to the Arbiter and it is a rolling death machine. The LTC Universal makes the ship super versatile. What it did for me was allow me to have APO1 and OSS1 along with BFAW3.

The "Fleet" variant is NOT worth it...
