Earlier in the year I asked what the best dps ship was, now I'd like to know what's everybody's opinion on which is the best tank ship in the C-Store. This ship is meant for a federation engineer character btw. I've heard the t6 operations star cruiser is a really good tank does anyone have a better ship in mind?

I heard that the Support Cruiser is a good tanky platform, mainly due to the trait it brings (History Will Remember). I am considering building a tank someday and I will probably use the Endeavour Tactical Star Cruiser. I also read the Chronos makes a decent tank.
You probably have more options than those

Well I've been experimenting recently on my Engineering character and currently flying a T6 Fleet Exploration Cruiser (Galaxy class) which so far, seems to be holding up pretty well as a decent tank.
I've been playing around with my current skill tree and loadouts and managed to pull a decent amount of aggro, dish out decent DPS and not have to rely on any hull heal consoles. I would definitely consider the Galaxy class as a decent aggro tank for sure.

+1 for the Endeavour. It is a perfect ship for a tank.

In the cstore, the best tanking ships would be the T6 Galaxy, T6 Odyssey (Science variant), T6 Support Cruiser and you could make a decent aggro tank with the T6 sovvie or Excelsior. Hope this helps!

True, but unfortunately Florian is not playing STO anymore
Guide should still be pretty much up to date though.

What about the Miracle Worker ships? Are they good tanks?
The tactical variant has been a decent tanking platform for me. However, I found the MW mechanic of the ship a little too random for my taste.
That being said, my current tank setup still uses the Tactical Star Cruiser. The build post is a bit outdated but still gives you the idea I think.
Odyssey basically because of the strong ship set and also for aesthetics. Therefore, I would go for the ship set rather than picking just one.
Other choices would be the Command Assault Cruiser if you want to fly a canon ship or the Sarcophagus if you would be Klingon. Also, something I would love to try as tanking platform is the Styx.
