Hello everyone! I am almost a lvl 30 and I am in a dilemma. I can't decide which Tier 4 ship I want. The Galaxy class, Defiant class, Intrepid class, I don't know... I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions or anything that might make my decision easier.

The Defiant class would be the ship you want for leveling. You will do more DPS and that will help you get to Rear Admiral faster.

There isn't a bad ship out of those choices but the Defiant is definitely the best ship to level quickly in as you will do a lot more damage in it. If you go for the Galaxy say good bye to turning.

It's a good looking science ship. Science ships are nice at endgame, but horrible for leveling.

It's not a bad ship. Nice manoeuvrability and good shields, you won't deal much damage in it though so fights will take longer.

If you want to get to the next rank a bit more quickly, probably pick the Defiant, otherwise, it's not really a big deal which you pick at that stage

You can't really make a bad choice out of those 3, they are all perfectly viable so if you have a personal preference I would go for that one but I think most people will suggest the Defiant to you.

Well, I am now a level 30 and have decided after hearing your suggestions and doing a bit of research myself. I have chosen... *moment of dramatic silence followed by a drumroll* Defiant! Although, the Intrepid was really close to getting picked. The ultimate decider was I prefer fire power and speed, also I really enjoyed the Deep Space Nine series. Voyager was good too, but as said previously, I should save the Intrepid for the endgame. Anyways, thanks for all the great suggestion and discussion!
