What would you say is the best KDF T6 Ship, and why? Let's say the:
- Best dreadnought like ship (except the Qugh Miracle Worker Battlecruiser).
- Best 1 hangar bay ship
- Best full on carrier
- Best Escort or Destroyer
Any of your top ships have to look Klingon. I would like to know what KDF fans like to use

The Fek'iri ships are rather meh for the most part, they are not unusable by any stretch and have their own good points, but I would take a T5u Kar'fi over either of them (and actually have done so in several cases).
Really? The Batlh? Looks like a medical ship LOL. As for the Kurak, I have used that one until I got myself the the Ty'Gokor. But, I then opted for the bulkier Antaak. Looks pretty cool. The miracle ships are fairly sturdy imo.
My go to in the escort/destroyer class is the Chargh warship. 5/3 weapon loadout with no experimental weapon slot so you can max out. Good stats, great trait and the crit chance and severity bonus. I fly the fleet variant.
For battlecruisers I use the Vor'ral. Nice little broadsider with great space barbie options. I fly the fleet variant aswell.
I still run the flet B'rel for TRIBBLE and giggles, I have a silly spiral wave turret build.
Other notable mentions: Qib, it's an Eclipse with battlecloak and a better console, looks very interesting. Mat'ha Raptor, really fun console and quite powerful. Kurak, I used to really hate the front section but it's grown on me, it's style is just incredible, Mogh alternate skin is interesting, can be very tough and powerful. Martok, 5 tac console slots, cool appearance like the starcraft ship, DHC access since I dislike being forced to use beams like most fed cruisers, and standard built-in cloak for ambushes that most fed ships don't have or require consoles or sets or MES eating up precious boff slots.

Actually seems to be a decent ship, but I agree it is indeed butt-ugly. I saw it in the store and was so repulsed by it's appearance that I didn't even look at the stats until now.
Nose cannon: WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! :: ships explode ::
I see why you would fly the Vor'ral. It's a good compromise between a science ship and say, the Ty'Gokor. Looks like a ship that could trick the Federation if they switched out the signature to a Federation signature.
I didn't really pay attention to the Qib in the past. Looks cool and a fair compromise between power and speed. I would like to take a look at the Martok. I don't have it, but that one looks pretty cool. I would suggest you try the Antaak Science Miracle Worker Cruiser, or any of the other variants. Better ships imo, plus better Bonus Powers.
I heard good things about the Mat'ha Raptor, but I don't have it. Maybe in the future.
Anyways...
Of the ships that haven't already been mentioned...
For full carrier, I'd have to give it to the Sarcophagus, despite her being a lockbox ship. The Command seating allows for some pretty good use of FAW and Suppression Barrage on a beam build.
Destroyer... I give it to the Kelvin D7. Iconic lines, battle cloak, Command and Pilot seats with 2 universals for many options.
Single Hanger, I'm partial to the Qa'Tel Raptor.

To answer your question: Since I said "dreadnought like ship", so not necessarily a dreadnought (I didn't wanna list 10 types of ships lol). I personally hate that ship, and it's nothing we have ever seen the Klingons create. For me, I consider it to be an outcast reject ship, that somehow made it into the game.
I can respect your choices though. Seems like pretty good ships you got there. Can't beat an escort with a hangar bay!
But to each their own.
And yea, the Qa'tel is fun with that one hanger. Slap an Elite Slaver hanger in there and you're having some piracy fun.
I admit I'm a fan of Elite Slavers. The things they bring back means ECs.

-Sarcophagus, but i am biased towards carriers (always have been).
-B'Rel BoP, if available with only one hangar, a frigate is going to be a prime choice, and none are more iconic than a Bird of Prey.
-Sarcophagus, again.
-KoR for function, I mean, it is a T6. If i had to go for just looks, then it would be the Koloth.
There are only two Klingon-looking T6 carriers - the already mentioned Sarcophagus and the new Vo'devwl Support Carrier. Sarcophagus out of those two gets my vote, though you need a speed, turnrate and Inertia fixing strategy to get the thing to move well (Competitive Reputation - Fortified Engines did it for me). Vo'devvwl is pretty far back behind other KDF available carriers like the Orion Blackguard or Cardassian Ghemor Intel Flight Deck Carrier, unfortunately making it only really worthwhile if you love the looks.
I know, right? I had a ship (might be on my Jem'Hadar), and I loved having them pirates! Thought it was just me. Glad to know I am not the only one!
I love carriers too. The only thing which irks me if the belief that 2 hangar bay can replace two ship weapons. Don't get me wrong, the hangar bay ships can do nifty things, but I think only one weapon should have been subtracted. Otherwise, I would have a carrier on every character lol.
Agreed. However, in terms of the turn rate, I have developed a fairly decent beam strategy which compensates for the lack of turn. That and consoles that do XYZ, but as a bonus add some turn rate.
Personally, I think it looks in between. Not as bad as the Qoj. That's for sure!
isn't very exciting gameplay to me.
Qugh is clearly superior to the older Martok battlecruiser with 5/3, 4 tac slots plus uni slot, battle cloak, and full miracle worker. I just find it the ugliest ship in game along with too many "KDF" Disco-era styles, so am saving zen for whenever they return to traditional proper KDF designs like the new Vo'Quv.
I don't know what ship would qualify as "the best" KDF ship. I know I lean towards cruisers or dreadnoughts because I like being able to wade into battle without getting cracked like an egg every 5 seconds. My current favorite KDF cruiser that I actually own is probably the newest T6 Vorcha.
But if they'd release a C-store T6 D7, I'd get that in a heart beat. You can get pretty solid performance out of just about anything in this game, pve wise. I have one character using the T5-U Fleet D7 that does just fine. I'm sure competitive players have their own opinions, but if they were going to fly objectively better ships they probably wouldn't be KDF, they'd be lockbox power creep ships if they were serious hardcore players.
If you're looking for ship reviews if Timber Wolf is still around he's reviewed quite most, if not all ships and equipment on Youtube. He's informative and typically does budget builds and high end all gold equipment builds so you get an idea of how ships do at both ends of the spectrum. Hell, I've played this game since beta and I still learned quite a bit from his videos.
Still praying for a Legendary D7 for zen like the recent Rom deal.
Ah... but which variant? TOS? DSC? Kelvin? There are three variants.

Toss in all the options. The T'Liss we got lets you use parts and skins from all the Romulan bird of preys in game.
I confess I've got a soft spot for the Tac Bortasqu/Martok(loved running the ship back in the pre-Legacy of Romulus days), although the Klothos is a much better ship for that playstyle now.
I ran the Ty'gokor for several years as well; Durgath is kind of a bigger cousin to it, in terms of playstyle. The MWFDC D7 is also in the same genre(battle-carrier) of ship, but a bit more aggressive.
For 'classic' Battlecruisers, the Vor'ral and Qib are both a lot of fun. The former still retains its 'powerslideyness' while the latter gives you a fun battlecloaking BC that still looks the part. Mogh/Kurak are very good for a slightly more offensive style, but the Qugh is superior.
The Qugh and M'chla are also pretty excellent ships, but I don't really like the visual style of the pre-Unified Klingon vessels.
There aren't really any single-hangar Klingon ships that I find particularly stand-out. The Raptor is decent, but not remarkable(and the MMSV is Gorn).

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Problem is... they're not sized to fit each other. Just like the Connie's can't mix and match between TOS, Kelvin, and Disco. Different meshes.

Thank you! I think the same as well. Hopefully they will!
I assume you mean the Vor'ral Support Battlecruiser? Looks fairly decent. Feel more like a T5 ship imo though. Then again, T5U ships can do pretty well.
