Am commander 9 using heavy cruiser , was looking at next tier ships ( tier 4 ) for the captain rank . Till now eng class ships were fine but the next tier eng ship seem slow turning which isn't good for my liking so was thinking to switch to science class , I also noticed many are using science class ships and started to wonder why ?

So any advice from anyone who tried both eng/sci tier 4 ships ? Thanks .

    T4 (Voyager) Science is a great ship.
    Nice shields, good turn rate. You will be satisfied.

    I did not like the turn rate of the T4 cruisers either, so I used my T3 ship till I hit Admiral and just updated the equipment on it.

    Strongest shields, good turn rate, and all of the Science BO slots.

    Without repeating what's already been said, you cannot go wrong with a T4 Science vessel! Best ship I've had in game!

    But do keep in mind that the turn rate has been boosted plus the new captain skill that also boosts turn rates.

    So keep that in mind when making the choice.

    I have been using the T4 Exploration Cruiser for some time (Capt 5). It is slow turning and that can cause you some problems especially when you are not used to it. However it does have the most weapon slots of all the Tier 4 ships. It is actually a pretty devastating combat ship.

    Science ships are nice I guess but my science BO's seem much less useful than my engineering BO's.

    Can you elaborate on which Engineering BO abilities you're using? Because truth be told, I haven't been able to find any Engineering abilities that I find useful, apart from maybe RSP. Maybe I'm missing out on something.
