So what ship is better overall for PVE and PVP, I mostly do PVE.
I have enough lobi to get the Mobius the other time equipment and got lucky and unlocked the wells so i could transfer that gear over.
I heard that the Armitage was a solid ship so I'm not sure which ship to pick.
BTW i am a tac officer.

Armitage:
Pros:
+ C-store version can be distributed to all your alts
+ Cheaper than the Mobius (overall)
+ Torpedo console is fun to use
+ Plays like a patrol escort, which means it's durable
+ 5 skins, including Akira and Thunderchild (Heavy Escort Refit)
+ Pets!
+ Elite Rommie pets are BEAST at damage, Runabouts good for tractor, Debuffs
+ Fleet version has higher hull than mobius
+ More crew
+ Bigger
+ More power to weapons
Cons:
- Just 9 consoles (unless Fleet)
- Fleet version costs extra, is character-only, and with just a 10% boost to hull/shields, is just a plain upgrade
- No universal boffs
- Less durable than Mobius
- Useless ensign tac slot
Mobius:
Pros:
+ 10 Consoles
+ Better Boff slots (useless tac replaced by eng)
+ Universal boffs are very flexible, can be even tankier than Armitage if use Ltc consoles for Eng.
+ Unique look
+ Unique Bridge
+ Bonus if used with Temporal Warfare Set and/or Wells console
+ Mirror Univ. ship, so can use ISS prefix
+ Relatively rare
Cons:
- Character-bound only
- Lockbox/Lobi ship = rare/expensive
- No interior access (do everything from bridge)
- smaller crew
- less hull than Fleet HEC or Steamrunner or Bug
- Doesn't benefit as much from Temporal Warfare Set (Both DBB and torp not ideal on an escort)
- Using its unique console while in heavy combat is tantamount to SUICIDE
- Still not as good as the Bug (is that really something we need to say anymore?)
The z-store Armitage is ok, but ships really need 10 console slots now to fit in nice universal consoles and still have room for a armor console and field generator.
1. Wait, if you use the mobius' LtC Universal for Eng you can do the EPTS3/EPTA1 thing, at least. Also I meant the C-store armitage (not fleet) was less durable based on raw hull numbers.
2. Fair enough, but in PVE you're usually better off mounting 4 cannons than a 3+torp IMO.
Wouldn't that be a pro, rather than a con? I would much rather have access to all of my crew from a console, rather than having to run around the entire ship.
Depends on your perspective. Some folks like to run around their interiors and set trophies etc.
But yes, for the endgame player it's probably a plus.
Pesky Feds, always acting like they own the whole galaxy.
it should be noted that I'm not in a fleet so i could only get the C-store version.
Well there you go. If that's the case then the Mobius is categorically better than the Armitage, in raw numbers, and unless you're interested in having pets.
THAT SAID, you'll do FINE in either ship unless you're obsessed with PVP or Elite STFs. So long as you pay attention to your build and some basic rules of thumb you'll carry your weight in 90% of the game's content.
Fleet ships are for the hardcore.
What is a useless ensign tac slot to some, it can be useful to others (myself included) depending on your build.
In pve switching the quantum out for Romuloan plasma torp and with 3 purple doffs you can do the endless plasma torp spam thing which is also great for dps.
