    I will unlock mine in a few hours and I'll be getting the Andorian Thozyn.

    I greatly prefer the Kuthar, which I already have, but I am getting the Thozyn for the Trait (Promise of Ferocity) and cosmetic unlocks for the Kuthar.

    hmmm... because of a missed day i wont actually get the coupon till next ftfo, but.. ATM my picks are(links probably not needed but...:

    1. Ketha- https://sto.gamepedia.com/Ketha_Recon_Raptor ... My KDF side is a little lacking in KDF t6's(cross-faction yeah but until a recent splurge(the t6 oddy megabundle and the negh'tev cross-faction bundle) i only had the Nas'Jov for KDF t6.
    2. Arbiter- https://sto.gamepedia.com/Arbiter_Battlecruiser ... I have plenty of FED t6 ships, but I've had the Avenger since it came out and the console set bonus would be nice.
    3. Hathos - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Hathos_Warbird ... I only have 2 ROMS, but the t6 picking for ROM ships is also slim. pretty much the same as the KDF side. I like the trait for this one too.

    Anyone have any ideas on my choices to help make the decision easier? I play more FED, but i have a KDF fleet i love, so i do stay active kdf side(both roms and jem'hadar are kdf...)

    All 3 are solid choices. Depends on what you want.
    KDF-recon is an awesome ship to fly. While i primarily use the Fed-recon the KDF version is a solid choice and fun.

    Arbiter is still one of the best fed battlecruisers and gives access to an awesome trait.

    Hathos is a fun ship to fly, but for me personally i lean more towards the T-Varo so the Hathos only gets taken out for a spin once in a while.

    So which T6 ship did you end up getting with your free token? I picked the Narendra-Class Support Cruiser T6 for it's starship trait History Will Remember.

    Nice ship. If i did not have it i probably would have gone for this one.
    While i still really like the https://sto.gamepedia.com/Negh'Tev_Heavy_Battlecruiser i will probably not use it often.
    My other choice is https://sto.gamepedia.com/Intel_Assault_Cruiser for the trait.

    Will get the coupon today but still haven't make a final decision. I may end up sitting on the coupon for a future T6 Nova

    TFW everyone got their coupons and I am just 200 short.

    Some of the runs I did probably didn't get credit towards progress or something. Well that just stinks but I can only blame myself for it or something.

    I'm still a hundred or so away too, even after doing runs before maint.

    I'm also still undecided about which ship to get.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    I'd bet its the annoying 20 hour limiter. That is absolutely miserable if you play after work during the week, and then want to play during the morning/day on the weekends, especially when there is no indicator to tell you how much longer till it rolls over.

    I really wish they would go to a daily reset like endeavors and other sensible games.

    If you open your TFO interface, there is a button at the bottom to click that tells you how much time you have before it rolls over.

    I am about 300 short, and I am fairly sure that it is because they do have it set up on a fixed daily timer like the endeavors instead of a floating 20 hour cooldown. At first I assumed it was synched with the FTFO cooldown but when I got more time to play this last week or so instead of dropping in to do the daily run for the ship and having to leave, I started keeping an actual track of how the numbers incremented I noticed that was not the case.

    It does make sense that they would do it using a variant of the endeavor system since it is already set up to be account-wide whereas the cooldowns are per character. It would make a lot more sense if they included the timer readout somewhere though.

    As for what ship to get, I am thinking of getting the Chronos Temporal Dreadnaught Cruiser, it looks interesting and I like the idea of the mode system, and it also works for every faction.

    The Chronos is an awesome ship. I fly it on a couple of my toons and although it isn't 'optimized' it does kill things fairly quickly.

    An optimized one would probably blow mine out of the water, but I'm happy with mine.

    So ended up using the coupon on the Archon, intel cruiser. Mostly for the trait.
    If the ship ends up having sufficient redeeming qualities while leveling i may use it, but i tend to lean more towards the classic TNG look instead of the Ent-E.

    If you like FAW Beam Boats.. it's a pretty good ship. Handles nice, looks great, has access to Intel seating and it's pretty tough to kill.

    Overall, a good pick.. hope you enjoy it.

    I'm not really sure. I already picked up all the ships in the c-store with good traits and have a lot of lockbox and lobi ships that are superior to the garbage in the c-store. I might just sit on them till something else comes out with a good trait.

    If you like a generic FAW boat i suppose it can be made to work, but it has a high focus on engineering and tanking while the intel specialization has little sync with engineering and tanking.

    The trait is good and the torpedo will also get some use, but i feel command specialization would have been a far better choice for the Archon.

      When I retired, one of the presents folks gave me was a Constitution Enterprise pizza cutter. The Saucer section being the cutter. It does work.

      The TOS communicator sounds like a nice gadget.
      I went for the Archon, what are you folks considering for/get with the coupon?

      I still think it'll be the daystrom variant of the MW cruisers. With ViL they reworked boarding parties (without much debate I think, I was quire surprised when I found out). The shuttles are now really fast again which sadly renders the doffs for arming and using them as auxilliary combat craft less useful as the shuttles reach their target before they can deal damage. The daystrom trait to beam them over lets me use BPs (I just like the ability fluffwise) and frees up my doff space 😉

      Well please un-find it again. It's one of the worst ones I made. Go to the Federation Playable Starship page and navigate to the fleet charts section for a less embarrassing version. It's still incomplete due to the removal of the Foundry but it's far better than that.

      @angrytarg
      Tried that trait, but with NPC having such a high subsystem repair i failed to notice any significant subsystem downtime. Theoretically it is a very nice trait though.

      Bought the MW pack a while ago. Using the tactical variant with a cannon build (SC/Turret). Loads of fun and scarily effective.

      The Jupiter Carrier is quite large. I have one and I've been flying my son in law's on his Andorian captain.

      They need some turning help, but they're not bad for a carrier.

      The Dreadnought is longer (only slightly) but the Carrier probably has more volume as it's lower hull mirrors the top whereas the Dreadnought's lower hull is much thinner than the top hull.​​

      Out of interest, where did those size comparisons come from? Side by side in game comparisons, or measurements of the models in the Foundry? Or something else?
