Walker Exploration or Walker Battlecruiser?

Looking at both the lobi procured Walker Exploration Light Cruiser and then the legendary Walker light battlecruiser, which one is the better ship.

At first glance, I want to say the lobi exploration version as it seems to have better seating, but then I noticed the Walker light BC actually has a slot for a secondary deflector.

Which do you feel is the better ship?

If it is a legitimate feature and not some mistake they go back and either eliminate or nerf in the near future I would say the battlecruiser with the secondary deflector. It is unique and quite interesting (though in my case totally out of reach cost wise).

The thing is, no other battlecruiser has a secondary deflector (normally they take the place of two weapon slots) so it is suspicious and the cost makes it a whale's gamble to see if they keep the deflector on the ship or not.

The way I see it the lobi versions advantage is only the full set of cruiser commands. Could be interesting if you know for certain you like to play as tank. But even there is is hardly needed as nobody uses threat at the moment anyway.

Otherwise I’d pick the legendary one. A tac console slot more is a tac console slot more. Commander command station also opens up some options.

I've looked, and there is no sec deflector on the description.

The news post does not list a secondary deflector, so it must have been a copy/paste mistake. Quelle Suprise.

The secondary deflector was a bug, if it isn't fixed already it will be in the near future.

I guess it depends on what you want to do...do you want to use cannons or beams?

The exploration cruiser can't use dual cannons...if you're planning on using beams and don't care about the extra skins I'd say go with the exploration cruiser

This is the deal breaker for me and why I don't have the Lobi Walker on any of my characters. The lack of ability to run Dual Cannons was a no-go for me. Even if I give the ship to a character that runs Beams, I always want that ability if I get it because I change things up on a regular basis.

Between the two, I would go with neither unless you just really like the Walker Class. If this is the class you want, you know you're just doing a beam, torp or single cannon build for a single character.. then the Lobi one is fairly cheap. If you want the versatility though and you want it account wide, the Legendary is the only call.

I would just say forget it to both and just buy the C-Store Gagarin on Black Friday. Better ship, less money.

Yo op think that should seal your decision. 900 Lobi.
