Seeking Tier 6 Lockbox/Lobi ship recommendations

djf021djf021 Member Posts: 1,382 Arc User
Hello all,
After several months of grinding plus a little Christmas cash, I've got enough zen to convert master keys to EC and get the majority of lockbox/lobi ships off the exchange (except the exceptionally rare ones). I have a Fed Tactical character I've dedicated to flying alien/special ships, and I want to shake things up a bit after he flies the new Breen ship for a while.
What tier 6 lockbox/Lobi ship have you flown that blows you away? Is there one you don't ever want to get out of? It doesn't matter what kind-Escort, Cruiser, or Science vessel. I just want to know if there is one that stands above all the rest for you and get some ideas.
Thanks!

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    I have the Vaadwaur Manasa escort and the trait off it is good for any cannon user or even any ship using certain Intel powers. Extra frontal shield hardness when using cannon modifying powers, great for forward heavy attack runs.

    Manasa is good, so is the Narcine. The Baltim raider is loads of fun. The Astika and Ateleth have good traits. Most of the T5 ones aren't worth your money as better alternatives exist or soon will.

    If you have the cash for one or two Uber ships the Annorax does pretty much everything, it isn't cheap or easy to find but if your patient she is well worth it.

    Not all of them are T6, but I've greatly enjoyed the Xindi ships, minus the Ateleth which I don't have (yet, may get it at some point in the future).

    The Baltim Raider is certainly worth getting too, it's a very versatile ship and if you're using cannons then its console is quite nice too. With its 5 tac console slots, it's very useful for any character, tacs or otherwise, imo. If you can get it, the Vonph and its trait are worth getting too, of course.

    One other ship that I have really enjoyed, was the Voth Palisade, but that was mostly because it was my first true science ship that I really invested in.

    Frankly I adore the Astika, survivability and serious firepower all in one. It has a great console and trait too.
    I will also admit to badly wanting the manasa for its similar badassery.

    The Palisade is defiantly a fav. Sold sci ship even though T-5U. Especially if you're fortunate enough to have all 3 Voth consoles that gives it battle cloak.

    But for top choice, hands down, Annorax. It is incredibly hard to get, but she is a beast however you decide to build it. Lots of tac consoles to use if you want a ship melting lance and AP beams, or plenty of sci console slots to run it in whatever sci build you want (Mine is a Part/Grav Gen AOE Torp Boat)

    Can't go wrong with Baltim (raider) or an Manasa (escort) for your tact, loads of damage potential, loads of fun as well. Of the two, I personaly dig Manasa more, I also love it's mastery trait. Another great one is Jemmie Strike Ship, although that one might be slightly out of your price range.

    The Manasa is like a Mat'Ha for feds, which is a compliment - 5:2 layout, sturdy, and it does have that nice shield hardness trait.
