Returning Player Ship Help

in The Shipyard
I reinstalled STO today. I haven't played in a long long time. My char is a lvl 51 tactical commander. The ship I used to use is the Andorian Kumari Escort T5-U(I think the U is because I upgraded it). My build with that ship is DHC phasers. I love the DHC playstyle so my question is which T6 ship is the best for DHC? I think I will go with Disrupter damage as well if that matters, but I'll base it on the ship choice first.
There are so many ships out now that it is confusing for me to pick one. I seen there are T6 Andorian ships...which I would of just went with for now, but none of them show "can load cannons" on them.
Also I'm sure my Doff are horrible now too so thats the next thing Im sure I'll need to work on.
Any other tips for a returning player would be appreciated as well!

Oh, when I look at the details on the ship in the store it doesnt show "can load cannons" like other ships do. Which ship would be better to play? are there any other ships with good traits I should think about getting?
The morrigu is the warbird in the C store? I like going 5/3 with the aft being turrets of my dmg type. How many ship traits can I use on a ship? And I don't see the defiant ship in the store
Thats great!
So I can get the morrigu or the avenger/arbiter to unlock that ship trait?
Also I was looking at all the ships list on the sto wiki site. I seen the defiant legendary ship. Are you still able to buy that one?
ah ok. I dont have any KDF characters.
and damn I guess I it wont be back for awhile then if they just had it last week
Thanks for all the help. One more thing though, whats the best rep I should work on for disrupter DHC? Assuming the rep DHC would be the best
I see they have this big bundle that’s 30000 Zen....are the 3 ships it comes with all legendary ones?
I really want a ship for my cannon build thats 5/3 with a lot of tact consoles but it seems like the only ships that seem good for that setup are legendary. The defiant legendary is probably the best....but I don’t like how it looks lol
There are some good ships that aren't Legendary. The Gagarin Miracle Worker Battlecruiser is one of the best 5/3 cannon boats you can get and it's a regular C-Store Ship. The Arbiter Battlecruiser is another very powerful ship with a must have trait.
Other 5/3 choices are the Europa, one of the Andorian Pilot Ships, or one of the Pilot Escorts.
If you want something Bigger, remember that Romulan Ships are cross faction now so your fed/kdf can fly something like the Scimitar which remains one of the best 5/3 ships in the game. There are options.
If you use the patrols in the TFO menu you should be able to level up ships pretty quick - usually just several runs to unlock a ship's Tier 5 mastery trait. They give 3x the ship mastery xp as compared to other things in-game.
I can only guess you're looking at the choice bundle with the Amarie and the two Temporal ships as potential choices. That is not the Legendary bundle everyone talks about. The Amarie is quite good though.
That bundle is in Mudds market which is full of deliberately overpriced stuff. There are frequent sales on it and if you wanted those ships you should wait for one. If you did want it, you need to understand the bundle gives you 3 choices out of the 6 things on offer, 3 of those possible choices being the ships.
The actual Legendary bundle is only available rarely, and not normally for sale at any price.
Seaofsorrows,
I like the Andorian ships but they are only 5/2. The T5 one is what I used before I stopped playing years ago and I loved it. I will look into the other ships you mentioned though. Thanks
Westmetals,
The bundle is the 3 choice bundle. I thought maybe they were legendary ships since the pack text had them highlighted in purple...compared to the normal white text for other bundles. Plus the price being so high as well too. But thanks for letting me know its not. Seems like a big waste for normal ships for that price
Foxrockssocks,
Yup thats the bundle I was referring to. It seems really overpriced for just the choice of normal ships
everyone else who mentioned the patrols thanks! I'm going to try them now to see how it goes
All of them are box ships, though, the kind that are normally very expensive and only unlock on a single character, while the bundle lets you have them for your entire account like any other cstore ship.
Like everything in Mudds shop, you should wait for a good sale, but the best one is probably the initial offering.
