    So, 'twas my birthday this week and I'm at the age where people just give me money 'cause no one wants to figure out what book I want Smile

    Since getting back into STO, decided to spend some of it on Zen and got some keys and did well, getting two T5 boxes and a T6.

    Building a new toon, a Sci one, my first real Science toon ever. Don't know that much about them so looking for some advice.

    I was going to use the Eternal Temporal Multi-Mission Science Vessel, upgraded to T6-X. But now wondering if there is a better Sci ship in either the T5 or T6 box? Or a great console I should use?

    For some reason, this one is jumping out at me a bit: Section 31 Intel Science Destroyer

    Also got a ton of Lobi so anything I should grab there?

    Thanks in advance!

    I've been putting together a sci ship myself these past few weeks, and the ship I hear over and over again is the Verne. It also comes with the Enhanced Cylinder console which is great for science as well.

    For a Verne or Eternal, there is that temporal set from Lobi store, I strongly recommend it. The tachyokinetic converter comes in very handy for handling and boosts crit. I use it myself

    Hi, out of my personal experience, I highly recommend that you trade in your T6 box for a Verne-class science ship.
    One advantage of this ship is that she can carry up to 4 science boff and two of the positions can use Temporal skills.
    This is very good for a science ship, especially if you carry the "Spore-Infused Anomalies" of the Somerville Intel Science Vessel, and when you activate the Science or Intelligence's BOFF skill, your anomalies will release a 5km range spore blast, which can deal a lot of damage to hordes of enemies in PVE. So the more Science or Intelligence skills you have, the more AOE damage you can deal.
    Among these visions that can release shockwaves are "Chronometric Inversion Field" and "Timeline Collapse", both anomalies are Temporal skills.
    The Enhanced Tipler Cylinder, a console that comes with the Varna class, is also a good item. When you find that your starship's hull is at a low level, you can choose to activate this console, which will give you a short period of inability to be attacked and restore a certain amount of hull, while reducing some of the CDs for your skills. The most interesting thing is that if the starship is destroyed after you activate this console, that is, before you enter the unattackable state, this console will let you directly resurrect.(。•ᴗ-)
    If you are interested you can also try to trade for a Lukari Dranuur Scout Ship (jokingly called a boomerang by me and my friends), which is so far the only T6 science ship I know of that is allowed to carry five science BOFFs and use Temporal skills.|ω•̀ )

    I love the look of the Lukari ship, I tend to keep it in the saucer format and pretend it's for abducting people Smile

    I think I'll go with the Verne, same idea as the Eternal but a bit more oomph and speed. And I have other drones, don't need a hangar pet.
