Finished the event campaign today and find myself faced with "The Choice".
Find myself hovering between the Connie III /Titan-A while keeping an Eye on the Excelsior II and HurQ ships.
Connie would be awesome for my EPG style builds, E2 for raw DPS due to a certain console en the HurQ ships for my tanking/support builds.
Various youtube channels seem to point to ships like the World Razer, Gorn Raider.
What will be you pick?
Edit: Added ship list.

This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

I like the Protostar, but the Dauntless II has a nice console for one of my torpedo characters.
The Shrike also looks interesting, if a bit monstrous for the average Starfleet captain.
And the best part about the Connie III is that she fits my playstyle and preferred BOff abilities. For a LONG time I flew the Command Assault Cruiser, then got the Walker, then Temporal Connie, then Legendary Avenger. All fit my playstyle perfectly. But only one has had the distinction of taking the name I used for my Sovy. Only one got to be the next USS Lexington. And that was the Connie III.
The ship you could actually hear when it was cloaked, even when it activated absolutely nothing.

Brought a smile, forgot about this ship.

Yeah, it was one of the Nakuhl ships.
Fun little blast from the past.
As this is most probs my last meta event anyway I'm glad to of been able to complete it.
Been looking for the list of campaign VI, but all i could find was last year's choice.
I don't think those old ones get updated though. Don't quote me on it, but I think they retain the same selection pools they had when they were released initially. So any lockbox/promo ships that came out after those would be unavailable.
clicking on the premium ship reward in game brings up the most up to date list.
When a ship performs this well even when equipped with an old omega force set then there is no doubt about the quality of the ship.
With the amount of Lobi i can purchase both the missing HurQ ships when the next lobi store sale arrives.
Had to google that one.
Haven't seen SNW yet so this one was new to me.
So I went with the Protostar on my alternate account. Haven't picked anything yet on my main.
It's a nice ship, though I haven't used it to its fullest yet, as I decided to create a new character for it. My first Rigellian ever.
Its console is an interesting addition if you like summoning your own small fleet. The ships are pretty powerful and it adds a firing speed bonus when activated. It also has a 1m30s cooldown instead of 2m.
I've combined it with the console from the Rex (Elite Alliance Squadron Beacon) and the Athan Prime Fleet Museum consoles.
Add the trait from the Deimos and a few distress call beacons and you can have 9 ships (or 10, as there are 2 F's with the Premonition's console) fighting alongside you, on top of whatever gets called in by the distress beacons.
And that's probably not even the limit. Could even expand that fleet by using traits from the Luna and one of the Cardassian ships.
C-Store 1: Resolute-class cruiser (The T6-XX system finally gives me a reliable Excelsior via the fleet.)
C-Store 2: Terran Lexington-class dreadnought
Lobi 1: Undine Kiwavi-class bio-cruiser (I had the urge to set up an Eldritch starship.)
Lobi 2: Xindi-Primate Ateleth-class dreadnought
And yes, that's two lobi ships. Previous event combined with the campaign rewards and some otherwise-fruitless lock boxes has me at just shy of 2200 lobi. Haven't claimed them yet; waiting for a lobi sale so I can snag a couple other odds and ends at the same time.
Put the T6 box on a character and upload that character to the tribble server. Then you can open it on the test server and try it out.
Yeah, I could create another character, but I'm not much of an altitis-addled player. My main is my Fed which uses a Credence, my KDF recently got the Typhon to replace the Mars but I play her much less than my Fed, my Reman has a Valkis and I play her even much less than the first two.
So a premium ship on another character I'd barely use would be a waste.
But even with testing on Tribble, I still can't decide.
Tried the Excelsior II console on my phaser build on Tribble but, despite everyone saying how awesome it is, I found it "meh" for my playstyle.
I had high hopes for the Shrike's portal console, but not only is the 15km range too short to make a real difference, but now the Vovin's console is much better and makes it completely obsolete.
So maybe I'll get the Connie III console since it's a multi-mob annihilator that is fun to use and useful for a speed and power boost, even if my ships already have speed boosters.
Or the Ba'ul console, which could be nice for my AP-based Typhon, but doesn't really fit an escort maneuverability.
Definitely a good choice. I snagged it in last year's campaign, and am quite happy with it. Powerful on its own, and the Section 31 drones (especially if you go beyond the default) can set up a downright murderous crossfire.
Utterly agree, brilliant ship.
