T6 Sheshar worth it?

So i'm looking to buy any lockbox ship. The T6 Sheshar is pretty expensive.

Is it only this expensive cause you're not able to get it anymore or is it actually that good? It's currently 450M on the EC. I was wondering if I should get this or wait for the next lockbox.

And what's the difference between command and intel?

    450M is not really "expensive" for a big prize lockbox ship. Its more or less the same price any ship of that kind will cost you. The Voth Bulkbard is even more expensive, and it is not better. More or less. Dont think that because one ship is more expensive, it is better or worst. It is just the exclusivity what you are paying for. In my humble opinion, i will never waste so much ec in just a ship specially now that youave sooo many options. The Sheshar is only "cute" if yo u have already the elachi escort (i think, cant remember if it was an escort) so yo uhave the separation console. If you dont, it is just like any other ship, and we have a lot of em right now.

    If you really want the ship.. then yes, it's worth it.

    I know it sounds simple and obvious, but it really is true. The ship isn't expensive because it blows other ships out of the water or because it's an 'instant win.' It's an excellent ship, as are many other ships for a similar price. It's really just about if the ship appeals to you and facilitates the build you want to use. If it does, then it's worth the EC.

    It's not more powerful then any C-Store Ship, but it's a great ship. If you like the ship and it meets your needs, then yes.. it's worth 450M EC.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    It really depends on how much you want it and why you want it.

    It's a good ship.

    It's not worth the price on the exchange.

    That's all.

    No.

    Now that we've got these new Battlecruisers, they're close enough in capability to be the poor man's Seshar, with only a slight variance in BOff loadout.

    There are more than a "few" ships equal to the Seshar lol.

    Sheshar is currently the best ship in the game (IMO). If you can't afford it try the command battlecruisers. Both of these ships are extremely convenient to fly, with and extremely large margin for error.

    The T6 Sheshar, especially the "older" Intel version, are good ships. The console it has is actually a big game changer in how it behaves.

    But that said, they're overpriced. I would not pay 200m+ for any ship. Even breaking 120m is an iffy buy for me.

    it's cool, but mostly for a status thing, but it's difficult to use and the elite frigates may still be bugged, when it came out it was reported _and_ confirmed. weeks ago, someone said they were still bugged

    so, you get the most status and respect for making the darn thing work

    but, if you are a pvp guy and do HY torpedos or they are some integral part of your PVE playstyle -- it's a very very good ship trait. you generally need to be using a fast-firing torpedo though or multiple torpedos to make best use of it

    Thank you guys for your replies. I guess I will wait for the next lockbox ship and see what that is

    Does anyone know when the next lockbox will come? A rough estimate?

    I'll stand by what I said, just to add this

    w/r/t the consoles, personally, this is just my experience, but I found them to be unworkable. novelty items. while the pets do seem to have good behavior, the main problem is that they seem to get agro and insta-die, their defensive ability just isn't scaled up properly or something. and the cannon with the 7 (5?) second charge up is the weakest thing on the planet.

    I'd consider trying to make it go again if they fixed the frigate hanger pets, on paper they look great

    I love the elachi ships, just a "look" kind of thing. But there are problems. I post because I care.
