Best Zen Store Ships - Star Trek Online

[@stue2298]

If you are on a budget pick T6 ships that have a good solid starship trait, cause these can make a huge difference in your survivability and damage. These traits may not be elite content 'Meta' but will make you STO experience so much better. Some of these ships will be good to fly others will be used just for thier starship trait and dry docked. If you are willing to spend dollars on this game the Legendary bundles are probably the best value, getting 2 decent Legendary ships with multiple traits and a T6 100% token is the best use of your money.

Gagarin's ETM can also be used to keep your torp spread going...my sci toon makes good use of it flying a torp/mine setup.

Honestly, the Bozeman is one of the best value ships in the C-store. It's a great Surgical Strikes platform and has plenty of space Barbie options. And its trait and console are extremely powerful and benefit almost every build for a significant damage boost, especially for new players which don't have their endeavors for higher CritH and CritD yet. Definitely recommended as a first purchase. Also high time Klingons and Romulans get something equivalent already.

100% agree

I bought a Gagarin for a free token this year for my new character. I am very pleased with it, a magnificent ship.

Temporal surge cool down can be 45 seconds using intel abilities cool it down it also makes you untargetable it is a deadly thing especially using intel abilities

[@matthewkeeling886]

If you are just flying for fun... any ship from the store is usable, as are the event ships. Use the one you both like the look of and enjoy flying. Just don't buy the Reliant, Kor, or Malem on their own if you are on PC. You can get the ship for 2/3 the price by buying the Elite Starter Packs for any character, the ship and costume in those are account wide, only the Liberated Borg officer is not.

So maybe in a minority but i always liked the Ambassador/Narendra class support cruiser. Both the zen store temporal and legendary intel versions. The ships are versatile, and the trait "History will Remember" (which is a staple on all my builds) are well-rounded platforms.

I also pronounce justicar with the K sound. It’s ok. (I think it might be an American pronunciation thing) : )

[@Nic_NB]

I hang around to many Americans starting to sound less Aussie by the day

Agree every ship on this list is great. Personally I think the avenger is the best ship you can purchase for Dew from the cstore, but it's all subjective, however the multi trait combo + the ship being amazing edges out any other option for me. Of course, it's significantly more expensive too, so if money is an issue and we are talking about non bundle 3000 zen ships, then yes, the lex is a good choice (though for me I would pick the Gagarin over the lex, since it's trait is fantastic for dew).

[@axelhopfinger533]

The Legendary Battlecruiser Bundle is actually well worth the money (at a 35% sale). Gives you two extremely strong and fun ships with a plethora of useful (if not meta) traits and universal consoles that will benefit many builds. The Legendary Avenger is indeed one of the toughest and most powerful MW cruisers in the game, slightly better than the Lexington.

[@psycho_chicken_9589]

Not only dew, at the moment i'm only using ETM with my sci toon in a torp/mines setup...torp spread 3 all the time. Also, with the gagarin you can get the fleet version for just one module.

[@roguephoenix]

i hope that's the uniform for all your bridge officers!

[@CaptainJasonC]

Gagarin is only fire at will 1 with entwined tactical matrices which is why it isnt used heavily. Not a true hundred percent up time if using faw3

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

Which will probably change in about a week with the 14thA bundle releasing ???

[@stue2298]

Yea, i have 3 T6 token holding of till i see the 14th bundle and whether to get the whole think or just use the tokens.

[@ModeKaioken]

I say this only because I used to make this mistake but I think some videos are better with out a cam. I think if your focus is on the content like a guide then you should go no cam and do B roll cuts to keep the video moving and show what your talking about and if its a commentary video like an opinion piece or a news video then you do a cam. This all speculation but watch a few video guides for yourself with a cam and without to see how you feel. I find Im almost always focused on the person, what they are doing, where they are, what they look like more then what they are actually saying lol. The Bozeman is nice I was going to get it with a coupon for pvp but it actually comes in a decent bundle that includes a t6 coupon. If you pick it up at 35% off it actually aint half bad of a deal for this game lol.. Because you dont get bundle discounts for ships you already own is the only reason I never got this yet. After this deca thing pans out and when I am confident to invest in the game again this bundle probably will be the first thing I get. What I mean though to be clear is don't buy ships single if you thing you may get the bundle at any point later.

[@Snip3rwolf22]

Love my Lex oddy i put it to t6x2

[@chrismills2439]

Id say add the endeavor just for its trait..... but I dont spend much

[@muga1701]

The Sexy Lexi is a 9/10. Its not a 10/10 because is 4/4. I wish it was 5/3 like the Inquiry, wich is a 8/10, because despite being 5/3, is ugly. Yes, I rant a lot, like the old man I am lol Bozeman: Tachyon Net Drones + Temporal Surge + CSV: things go boom FAST

[@axelhopfinger533]

The Legendary Avenger from the bundle is a 10/10 because it has the skins of both the Inquiry and the Avenger (which is sexy), it has 5/3 layout and is overall slightly better than the Lexington stats wise. Practically the perfect MW cruiser and an incredibly tough yet maneuverable ship.

[@muga1701]

@@axelhopfinger533 Yes, but Im poor and cant have it lol

[@axelhopfinger533]

@@muga1701 I'm mostly a F2P player too. I got me the 10th anniversary bundle and the leg battlecruiser bundle for free from just grinding Dil for Zen on a dozen alts. 100k Dil/day = 3 mil Dil/month = 6000 Zen/month. I got pretty much everything i need for free by just diligently playing the game. And you can do if you are willing to put in the time and effort. It's a commitment of around one hour per day, but it's doable.
