The other day I got lucky and I have an Infinity Prize Pack T6 ship waiting. Which one do you like? I would love your experienced recommendations.
My general preferences:
Beam arrays
Turn rate 8 or higher
At least Lt Commander Tactical (or universal)
These apply no matter what "class" of ship (cruisers, science ships, carriers, etc.)
At the very least it might make a good discussion. Thanks!

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

> Depends on your playstyle as well, and your faction.
Playstyle solo PVE. I play all factions, but Fed much more often. For this ship, Fed.
I own most of the standard C-store ships, and also the smaller legendary bundles (Terran dread, scimitar, DD, Walker, and Miranda). But I don't own any of the ones that come in the $300 packs. I buy zen but usually 2000-4000 at a time.
Hope that helps

Look through that list, copy your character with the prize to tribble, run some solo elite patrols or whatever other test scenario you can think of for a ship, eliminate all the ones you don't like or that don't seem special except for that one you can't do without.
From experience playing this game, I've learned personal preferences can also shift with time, so beware of suddenly taking interest of a different species, aesthetic, and play style.
It's also perfectly reasonable to select whichever one sells the highest, fill in the difference by selling other stuff, and look at promo ships.
As far as your requirements go, I would recommend a TOS Dreadnought like the Atlas class. You will likely get people recommending this ship just for the console, and yes.. the console is the best in the game, but don't sleep on the ship itself. The Atlas is actually a great ship.. it's a really great ship. The Bridge Officer layout is versatile, it has a 5/3 layout which is great for Beams or front facing weapons like Cannons. It has an excellent console layout and if you like the TOS aesthetic it's honestly a very cool looking ship. Turn comes in right at your threshold (8) but there are ways to boost that if you need more. The only strike against the Atlas is the trait is laughably sub par, you will never use it.. but the amazing console makes up for it. With your ship roster, it doesn't sound like you're desperate for traits.
Give the Atlas some consideration, it's more then just a top notch console.. it's a very good ship.
> Normally, my recommendation would be the Terran Styx, but sadly it falls just under your required turn rate of 8. Still, if you can look past it, that is one incredibly versatile ship, I use it in both a DPS as well as a Tank setup and it performs fantastic in each role.

Thank you! I really appreciate everyone's questions and attempts to narrow down my parameters, but my point is to leave them pretty wide so I get a lot of different suggestions.
I've actually had my eye on the Atlas for a while, thought it looked great on paper. It's nice to hear from someone who's used it. I've also considered the Styx. The 8 turn rate isn't a deal breaker, so I'll take a closer look at that one too!

This is also a good pick, excellent ship with a nice Trait.

I actually got this one as the grand prize for the multi event. I love it!

This is great advice. I could definitely wait for a while and see what comes out next.

D.O.M.I.N.O. console is from an event ship, you can't get it with the T6 Infinity Box.
You might be confusing it with the Dynamic Power Redistributor Module on the Atlas as suggested above. Both are good consoles, but DPRM is the top console overall for DEW builds.
Domino comes from an Epic Pheonix Store token. The Bajoran Interceptor. Not the T6 Infinity box.
