Some of my other favorites are the escorts and battlecruisers with 5 forward weapon slots.
But really, with the right stuff you can make any T5 or T6 ship work. And some can even use ships of lower tiers.
Whatever ships you enjoy flying the most.
It's entirely up to you, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. There are ships that maybe don't work well with certain builds, but you can still have fun with them and to hell with what other people think. If it kills things and isn't a hindrance to the team ormission then its fair game in my books.
As someone who has both the vengeace and the annorax i will tell ya OP , they are seriously powerfull ships if you like sci attacks annorax is by far the best sci ship, if you want a powerhouse then vengenace.
agreed
but with the annorax its pretty close concerning sci ships
T6 Temporal Light Cruiser
You get the 3 best C-Store Ships for each faction. The amazing Arbiter for Feds, the powerful Kurak for KDF, and the king of all ships for Roumalans.. the Morrigu.
3 great ships, they all have consoles that are useful and come with one of the best Star Ship traits in the game. A must have.
Only the Traits from that pack is great, the ships arent that good at all. Highest dps ships atm are t6 flagships (for all factions), nandi, chel boalg, d7 (kdf only)
ingame: @Felisean
the ones you think youll enjoy the most... For me its Morrigu and Laeosa right now
Personally, my favs are: Scryer for Sci (nothing really on the same level on KDF and Rom side), Sheshar for Eng, Nandi for Tac.
Fed, Rom, or KDF?
Tacship, cruiser, carrier, or SCIENCE! ship?
Best for what? Having fun in PVE story content, trying to climb the DPS charts, PVP?
You can make most T6 ships into "good" ships, after that it depends on what you want to fly.
The Battle Cruisers are right up there with the Flagships, it's a small percentage point difference on the very highest end of the DPS scale. To say the ships 'aren't that good' is simply silly. The T6 Battle Cruisers are still considered at the very top end of the DPS spectrum for all factions.
Even if you went with one of those ships you mentioned, if you wanted top DPS you would still need the Emergency Weapon Cycle trait from the Battle Cruiser, so either way they're 'must have' ships.
the ones without any symbols on both sides of their titles.
And yet, it is what you see in game all day. Console has one mod which is only second best? It's garbage, it's TRIBBLE. That mostly you wouldn't even notice the difference when playing, that it behaves almost equal - no, it's trash.
For ships that use energy weapons, it is, indeed. And while it's not my favorite tac ship (that's still the Kumari
I just got the APU Cruiser from a dropbox and like it quite a bit due to its funkier appearance and a really nice bridge layout. The APU Cruiser's bridge is smaller (think starter Romulan layout) but it seems much more like a normal bridge option than many in-game that are frankly too large (in quite a few the Captain would have to yell across an arena size area to get his officers attention). In fact the only larger bridges that make any sense to me are on the Odyssey ships.
So not true.
The difference between first and second (and third and fourth...) may be small, and there are several possible overall strategies you might choose to pursue, each with it's own best, but STO is precisely NOT about balanced choices.
OP, you'll probably need to narrow down how you want to play before you can get the "best" answer possible, but there are some definite favorites within each category. Including "best choices on a modest budget". Because when you phrase it that way then The Vengeance (best directed energy weapon death dealing platform - 900 lobi) and the Annorax (best science-based death dealer - 1billion+ Ec) might no longer be the kind of "best" you are actually looking for.
Glad you got involved in this debate! - after months of debating which ship to go for have dived into a Fleet T6 Battlecruiser.
Your friends list ll increase a lot!!!
You won't be disappointed, the Battle Cruisers are absolutely fantastic.
Have fun crushing all those foolish enough to dare stand against you.

Fed side for everyday use : T6 Odyssey with the plasma consoles, and close 2nd Vengeance with all out CritD/Dmg setup. Both top the DPS charts at this time, respectively 1st and 2nd ranks on Fed side over 400kdps. 3rd choice would be the T6 Arbiter (trait and use).
Rom: Scimitar hands down.
Klingon : Who plays Klingon !
For Traits : Arbiter and Astika
Marcus does seem to have that Odyssey working :)
