At this point in my gameplay I am currently trying to get as many ship traits as possible. I have several toons that have around 6-7 traits, and several that have just 2 or 3.
Up until ships traits I usually played the same ship for a couple months at a time. On my main engy I have to say the Galaxy was my most longterm ship, especially since the updates. My main Tactical I used the Armitage for several months and still love that ship. My main science, I have to say the Nebula was my favorite ship. For my Romulans I haven't really found a "favorite" mainly because up until the delta event I only had one romulan, now I have 3, 2 of which I play often, I am hopping around from ship to ship because many of the Romulan ships are surprisingly good, once I get the setup nailed down.
To the question about only ONE more ship I'd have to say its the T6 Nebula. Although I've been playing since open Beta I only in the last year decided to embrace very sciencey builds on my science characters. It does take some extra thinking for the build because of the 3/3 layout and lack of engy consoles that I am so used too, but once I get a build nailed down, many of the current science ships are very good. I holding out hope that at some point in the future Cryptic will do a T6 Nebula and I will be buying it happily.
With the current meta of ship traits I believe that changing ships once I hit lvl 5 will continue for quite some time. Having 12 characters and owning all but a few ingame ships allows me the freedom to fly different ships on all my toons. I am a variety loving person, and although I do have favorites its definitely nice to switch it up once in a while. With that being said I have to go prep my Romulan Delta recruit for a new ship!! WOOHOOO

I am hoping, (cross fingers:P ) that by February I will be enough ahead grind wise that I will be able to step away forever from logging in the other 9 toons.. (enough dil, ec, and keys stockpiled up) THAT I will finally be at a spot that I can enjoy 100% of my play time just with my main
as it stands now I waste about 2 hours a day cycling toons OFTEN when I am done I don't feel to jazzed about playing LOL (that's grinding for you) BUT again, the end is within sight, pretty much done now just working towards creating a buffer to never have to log on an alt toon ever again:)
GOD that's going to be a great day:)
ya, so I get how some enjoy playing multiple toons, they get bored easy, want to change things up, etc, etc
myself? I find completing a build, MAXED OUT is most rewarding, THEN the game becomes more about helping others, exploring content, and socializing with players.. I like those aspects the most out of MMO games:)
I'm getting to that point myself.
I have 2 mains, 3 alts.
Mains are finished with Doff commendation, and "almost" done with R&D schools.
So they are easy, just admiralty, R&D and Contraband.
The other 3 alts are about 90% done with Doffing Commendation and R&D.
I should be done everything by Feb/March.
I will be happy when I can just focus on my 2 mains, and do what I want with them.
Like you, after cycling my 5 toons, for admiralty and doffing and R&D, I don't have a big urge to keep on playing. It will be nice to finally focus on what I want to do.
My mains are done pretty quick, with just admiralty, R&D and Contraband, but my alts take a while finding the proper Doff assignments. It takes about 5-10 mins per my mains, and about 15-20 mins per my alts to get through the cycle.
that's about an hour, just clicking buttons
It gets longer if I'm yacking away in fleet chat.
Anyway as far as ships, maybe Ill give my Arbiter another chance.
Lots of people here seem to like her.

I don't believe in buying a ship twice.
