Xbox- I have a choice of the Hestia class, phantom intel escort, tactical command battlecruiser presidio class, tactical escort valiant class or the Yamato....I haven't made a tac guy yet and want to be pointed in the right direction.

    Yamato or the command battlecruiser are probably the most bulky (and the trait on the Presidio is very useful for boosting survivability by increasing the speed of science abilities coming back online)

    (Also I can't believe I forgot this, all hands also reduces *captain skill* cooldowns. Keep attack pattern alpha and the like up longer)

    I'd have to agree. Cruisers are good for survivability as a tac. My main is a tac and mostly flies cruisers. Although I have not flown the Yamato or Presidio.

    I play on Xbox and bought the Presidio about a month ago. I really like the ship and have yet to get destroyed in it.
