    Any suggestions?

    I'm considering getting the Kelvin Einstein destroyer or Mirror Warship. I'm leaning more towards the Kelvin though as I have the Legendary Carrier Connie already, though the mirror one does look cool.
    Are there any recommended ships for DPS, or anything super cool or unique instead?

    The other question is which captain should this go on?
    My main has had the most 'spent' on it over the last decade, including Lobi consoles and a plethora of special/reward/event ships (which are all mothballed). I tend to bounce between the Inquiry, Universe, or a couple of the Legendary ships.
    I have a Fed aligned Romulan Tactical alt (not an alien though) which so far only has account unlocks and reputation gear, but also a DPRM console.

    I'm in two minds about keeping all the space barbie on my main and use currently purchased Legendary ships on my Rom alt if I want to start chasing DPS.
    Talk about first world problems, so trivial but I've been unable to make a decision about this since campaign 3 finished last year Unamused

    I have a ship. Would you like to hear about my ship? It is a nice ship. It is a pretty ship. And it is all mine. There is not another ship exactly like it in the entire Universe. I like my ship a lot.

    But if you want construction advice? Yeah, I am NOT the guy to be asking for advice about DeePS. Man, I run Antiproton beam arrays. That's how far off track I am. How far out of the groove. How bent over backward with my pants around my knees and my boxers giving me a wedgie. I run Superior Area Denial on ships with no hangars.

    Now, armed with that knowledge about me, I must tell you this:

    Get a Valkis. Oh, snap! You have a Universe already. Well. . . Then I really got nothing for you.

    Get the pair of free T6 coupons and go nuts. Grab a Nobel and a Mercury. Do something stupid. I do it all the time, and it's fun.

    The Einstein is a fun ship, just like in the movie when it goes into combat you can see the turrets popping out of the saucer and its experimental weapon fires from them.

    The 32nd Century ships tend to divide opinion though I quite like most of them (except for the Courage Class, that thing is hideous to look at) and a lot of them are science focused, but the 32nd Constitution is a personal favourite.

    Like Taku, I'm also not the person to be asking about DPS. I just shoot until something blows up and don't really give 2 hoots about the numbers.

    Deimos is an interesting idea, it's not a ship I've ever given much thought to honestly. Its trait looks useless but the experimental weapon has an added weapon hast buff. Might buy the ship from the exchange as it's cheaper than the others I've looked at.

    I have a too many spare T6 coupons already 😅
    Love the Universe, it's huge and imposing, but definitely not meta. I was tempted to get a Valkis for my Rom alt though.
    Those two are an absolute joy to fly. I mean, if you like playing dead while the beams go pew pew pew pew!

    I had to get a Valkis. I could have gotten an Universe or whatever the Klingon version is. But the Valkis is just the best looking, most imposing, the biggest middle finger of any of the ships out there. They're flying starbases after all.

    But I don't really USE the Valkis (R.R.W. CHUNCHUNMARU) for much more than sitting in orbit and making other players feel inadequate. I do that a LOT. If I'm going out into the shooty bit of the game, I take my brand new Mars Pilot Escort. (picture 1, picture 2 - It was named BABAYAGA, it has been renamed PIMPHAND because BITCHSLAP isn't allowed.) I'm not a fan of the magic nacelles, but when I do Pilot maneuvers in it, the nacelles lag behind the main hull and it makes me smile. Plus, it's a full Pilot Escort with a cloak. And any time I can put Broadside Emitters on a Pilot Escort, I am a happy Reman.

    But don't discount the usefulness of acquiring stupid things. I acquire stupid things all the time, and I keep them. WHY do I have so many REP Vanity Shields? I have no idea, but I have more than all of them. Why do I have 15 of the 16 Khellids? Because there's an Accolade for having all 16.

    Not everything has to be done for a reason. Not everything has a purpose.

    Get the pair of free T6 coupons and go nuts. Grab a Nobel and a Mercury. Do something stupid. I do it all the time, and it's fun.
    Hey now, I got myself the Nobel and love it! Didn't think I'd like the Nobel "skin" but ended up using it on the Fleet version Smile
