What class is your favorite and play the most?
I was wondering and trying to figure out the ratio of classes that are played the most. Tactical clearly are the most played but I wasn't sure how many play the others as a so called "main" If I had to guess it looks like out of every ten players 5-6 are tacs with rest being split between eng and sci.
I play an Engineer as my most played favorite class with Tactical being my second favorite.

    "why not both?"

    I like the different kit sets and powers on the ground, and the different ship types in space. In space it's 90% the ship, but it's still fun to use Photonic Fleet, Miracle Worker, etc. for a little extra flavor.

    I like playing as an engineer best.
    In space I got A LOT of power to juice up all my systems with, and I got one of the best heals in the game and a couple of other nice powers to play with.
    On ground I can bunker up and build an impenetrable perimeter and hold a position, and turn my away team into an Artillery Team that can reign down destruction upon all.

    Finally a poll with an option for me XD. I honestly love all three classes. Have two of each Fed side, plus two KDF (Eng and Tac), and I enjoy having different builds on each and blowing things up in various ways.
    (Oh come on people, it's the game.)

    Actually, it took me years to create and discover the engineering and science classes. They are a lot of fun when prepared carefully and used correctly/wisely.

    As of yet though, I've set up both, my main sci and eng toons rather offensively (ground), thanks to all the funny and impressively useful toys from the reputations, winter & summer events and various lock boxes.

    I do however intent to create some more class related appropriate kits as good as it gets, at some point in time. An aggro drawing threat beast engineer with supportive fabrications for healing/ suppressive fire & a highly specialized healing /debuffing scientist. I'm just not bored enough with my current toy kits right now and don't know where to start really, but I am looking forward to fiddle my way through, just like with any other little or complicated thing in the world of STO :)

    Science
    I play them all, having at least one of each in each Faction (TOS does not apply).

    KDF - 2T, S, E
    ROM - T, S, E (all Fed aligned)
    FED - 2T, 2S, E
    TOS - S

    But I play Science mostly. Right now, other than for the Mirror Event I have been playing my TOS Science almost exclusively since the week after the start of the Temporal Recruit Event.

    Have the same amount of eng, Sci and Tac, in 2 genders, so 1 female eng, and 1 male eng and so on.. also try to keep the faction evenly distributed.

    Tactical
    I play them all but I notice the biggest difference playing in space as tactical. In space, I can do almost anything as a tactical with the only exceptions being subnucleonic beam and photonic fleet. On ground, I would say that I have the most fun as a science character but still have lots of fun with tactical and engineers.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Science
    I play all, but my Science characters are my favorite. Tactical ones gets the most play though, the game just seems built for them. My Engineers are the only ones I have thought seriously about deleting.

    Well, I guess this seems like a proven example of forum polls being far from reflecting the majority of playerbase! There was an official stat on tactical being by far the most played wasn't there?

    Deety, my main is tac, but I really enjoy playing Drummond, my sci guy. recently I've been leveling T'saan and 3.14159 of pi, both engies. I need to get the trait for 3 tht makes the orbital bombardment chase the bad guys around though

    Yup, they post some infographics at the last anniversary I think. IIRC a little over 50% of all characters are tacs.

    I do enjoy science and being the healer on ground maps.

    In space though engineering is pretty good but then again almst any class can do the tankdumbdps role.

    I have 3 lv60 Science Characters and only 1 Lv60 Tactical Character.

    I have a lot of characters but the 'main' would be Light, which is a Tactical officer but I enjoy Science a lot too as well, I created my 23rd Century Temporal Agent to be a Science Character. I enjoy the other class to aka Engineer but I would need to know the in and outs of that class before I level one up fully since I hate ground combat... >.>
    The Rising of the Delta is the best expansion ever, and people love it to death because it is a good day to die in the endless struggle for supremacy of your own conviction. (A spin off of the Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and all the players love it.)

    I have 2 mains right now; My Sci PvP'er (+PvE for events etc) and a Tac for PvE only.

    Then I have my Delta - Fed Tac/ Lib Borg
    Then I have my Aoy - Fed Tac/Vulcan

    Then my secondary mains are a Fed Engi, and Fed Aligned Rom Tac

    I've got a good mix. And like all the classes.

    I've also got a bunch of KDF alts, but really don't play them much, I'd love too, but my Feds keep me way to busy;
    KDF Reman Tac
    KDF Gorn Tac
    KDF Orion Girl Tac
    KDF Klingon (melee character) Tac

    My poor KDF's languish in the wings, as my Fed's get all my attention and eat up all my playtime.
    Hence why I don't like these recruitment events lol.
    Just too much to take on.

    I can barely muster the strength to power through with my AoY... The story arcs are too much of a grind to repeat over and over on the number of alts I have.
    Like last night on my AoY, I had to play "Operation Gamma" twice, because the temporal probe was impossible to find the first pass through.. wasted like 40 mins looking for it before I gave up. Thankfully found it on my second run. But yeah..

    Its things like this that make me wish I only had 1 or 2 toons.

    I have one of each, and to me they're all three the same with different abilities. Fly ship somewhere and fight, beam to surface and fight, then beam back to ship and fight.

    Tactical but only because it's what my main character is. I don't have the free time to play other characters so my choice is more the only option availible to me. Maybe if I'd picked a sci or eng all those years ago they would be my vote instead.

    I still enjoy flying sci ships more than anything else though. In my opinion the class of your captain maters not to how you play, it's the ship that is most important.

    My main and first character is a tactical. She's always been my favourite. I also enjoy science characters though. Engineers are probably my least favorite.

    Science
    When deciding between Sci and Tac on Rom & KDF way back as Mains, I went Tac for both because they have next to no science ships plus I wanted something different from Sci.

    I'm still casually working on my Rom-fed Sci delta recruit who's nearly Main status but on a budget, and a bit on Rom-kdf Tac cause it feels more Romulan being away from Feds.

    Just wish my Rom-fed Sci was KDF aligned instead, and that I had an extra Reman Sci-KDF aligned. I refuse to delete my AoY to free up the Character slot gifted to us as I can see them making specific future bonuses that require AoY toons or Delta Recruits.

    All this alignment nonsense would have saved so much trouble if they finished the Rom faction.

    Main account
    6 Sci - Fed, Rom-fed DR, 1 AoY alt, 2 Fed alts, 1 Orion Sci alt
    4 Tacs - Rom-fed, Orion, Rom-kdf alt, Fed DR alt

    Alt acount
    2 Eng - Rom-fed, Orion (unless she's a Sci, rarely play on this account)
    1 Sci - Rom-fed alt

    Although my main is a tac, I tend to go down the jack of all trades but master of none route
