So I used to play STO on mac some time ago, and the Odyssey ship was really popular then so I ended up getting the bundle for all the consoles and it was probably my fav ship out of all the federation. It just looks really cool, and I loved the idea of being this huge monster with beams shooting everything that moved. Was also a huge fan of the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort, but that's neither here nor there.
However this was before T6 ships had come out. I'm now playing on PS4 and see that the Odyssey bundle is on sell, and I'm wondering is the Odyssey still worth the zen price compared to the newer ships? Even lowered to 4000 zen?

But if you love the ship, T5-U just means you miss out on hybrid bridge seating and a mastery trait.
And indeed, the only real difference between T5U and 6 is that you don't get a trait or special Boff seatings. The former shouldn't be a problem if you have traits from other ships, the latter is hardly relevant at all. Most T5U ships are still competetive, especially if you have ship traits available already.
Though, personally I find cruisers somewhat difficult to work with. With their heavy engineering-focussed Boff seatings it's not really easy to make those ships powerful but I'm sure there are people who have posted really effective builds so it may just require a bit more research to make an Oddy effective.
Then they finally gave us new parts for T6 bundle. And now two of my Captains command my favorite kitbash
Yorktown Saucer
Sojourner Hull
Odyssey Pylons
Yorktown Nacelles
Its the sexiest kitbash of them all, and what the Enterprise should look like.

Yeah I saw that the T6 Oddy has different traits, so to get the little ships, saucer -seperation and aquarius you need the T5's. Next thing i have to do is look up a good up-to-date Oddy Tac ship build. Also I have noticed that a lot of ships are missing that the PC players have. wondering about why that is personally.
I'm really looking forward getting to do some mix and matching, though I have to disagree wit the 'whale body'. Always thought its looked like it could just cut through space...though don't whales cut through water too???
With the T6 parts you can build some very beautiful cruisers.
It's not that Tier 6 is vastly superior, but it is better, and you usually have more build options simply because you have those hybrid seats for specialization powers.
Next thing, I don't understand: there are T5 Ships, you can use at LV40 (like the ones you get for free) and T5 ships you can use at LV 45 or 50.
