It’s great to see you so regular on TH-cam. I was put onto your channel after watching STU1701 and Casual build vids. You are great at explaining builds and this video on ships allows us players to pick the right ships for specific builds
Great job on your content creation. I just came across your page about a day ago and I am enjoying everything I am seeing. I have been playing on console since 2 days after its release, and I am always learning new things on here. Thank you for all that you do man. Keep it up
With the change in the yearly event, the Connie 3 is top of the list for me. It looks good, nice trait, even if I despise how in Picard they _had_ to call it a Connie just because they wanted to make an Enterprise G. They should have just left it the Shangri-La class. And not thrown in that whole former Titan rigmarole.
There's no need to be self-conscious about saying 'Guys' a lot. You do say it more than most people, but its honestly not at all annoying or anything, its just a filler word - and is a much better than the 'Errr' that most people default to - its actually helps centre the focus of the conversation back to your audience (which is a very good thing in videos like this where you are providing information and advice). Its honestly not a flaw or anything - its just a personal style: like Spock saying 'Fascinating' or Tealc saying 'Indeed', or other Aussies saying 'Mate'.
One thing I’m liking the most, is that a good chunk of the trending ships off this list are around a year old. Give or take. The World Razer, the Gorn Raider, the Connie III, are all semi recent ships. When I got back into STO just after the 12th anniversary, the bulk of the ships mentioned were the Atlas, the Deimos, etc. With the Crossfield refit being the new kid on the block.
Basically,you take everything off the Gorn Hunter (trait/quad cannon/console) and put it on the Dhailkhina for plasma build. So for that build you need 2 premium ships to make1,plus getting the ISO's and everything else lol. But it seems to be worth the hassle.
About a year ago I bought one lockbox on a whim. One key. And got a Dhailkina. I could play for the next 20 years knowing that will _never_ happen again. I was thinking of the Excelsior II for the console for my FAW tank I'm working on. And I'll probably get the Gorn Hunter as my reward for this years event.
Great vid, ty ty. As a F2P, I've had to focus all my efforts into 1 character and 1 type of build (mostly). So as a Fed Tact player, I generally tend towards DEW builds, so whenever the Campaign Event comes around, I have to really think about what can benefit the path I've chosen. Right now I'm looking at the Kelvin Dreadnought, Inquiry and Deimos. I picked up the Connie Flight Deck Miracle Worker last year and it's a great platform, but still lost to think about for this year's event. Great break down, cheers o7
Great choices, I have most of them except the GHP and the Delkina. Yea the Mirror Warship is a bit dated but man is it fun to fly (plus Terran Goodbye is great) . Its kinda like the joke that flames on a car make it go faster lol. Awesome vid!
You mentioned a special thing of the Dhailkhina is, that it has the most isomag slots while still having an Exp weapon. Same goes for the Deimos. Lt Cdr Intel + Cdr Tac/Pilot is a very powerful combo, and it has Destroyer mastery.
Great info Nic, thanks for the content. It might be worth mentioning which of the lockbox ship are available in the Zen store for account unlock. So people can balance the cost of Master keys vs buying in a zen pack e.g. a Mudds pack etc.
I’ll get the Connie 3 for this year’s Event Campaign mainly for the shangri la look. The Connie 3 has a lot of problems but the role and package is great.
Yeah me too! Last event I got the temporal light cruiser Connie for my temporal recruit and he loves it lol This year I'm getting the Enterprise G for my engineering captain.... Who happens to be a DSC toon lol
All flight deck carriers have attract fire and 2 hanger bays, there are about 11 not including fleet varients. The Voth Rampart Command Flight Deck Carrier maybe a one to look at again with the new debuffing pets from the Ahwahnee.
I'm going to get Friendship Command Flight Deck Carrier to turn into a science carrier, plus I already have the Crossfield Refit I only use the console for Miracle worker ship it boost MW abilities.
The Dhailkina may be a strong platform because of isomag slots and EW, but the Lexington has a hangar which can take the new Type 7 shuttles, giving it some serious debuffing power and greatly raising its DPS potential in elite content.
@@QseftJohn Ah ok, if the Dhailkhina also has a hangar bay, then it's definitely the stronger platform of the two. And naturally it has one since it's a strike wing warbird. So basically it has the best of all worlds layout wise.
@@lino222 True, the D7 MW FDC is a proper beast, same as the Connie temp FDC. Both get a full 5/3 weapons layout plus hangar bays, but not experimental weapon. But now with all the recent new stuff, they should be the most potent and versatile carriers in the game.
I have to question his aesthetic sense :). The Excelsior 2 looks "meh" at best if not outright ugly. How come they never manage to "update" the Excelsior without making it look ridiculous and the whole "we made the frame bigger just so you can't use the classic skins" makes it an easy skip for me.
My favorite premium ship is the Verne. Best EPG ship in the game. Even though the Chekov in the C-store (14th bundle) is really good now too. I just wish they had made it Temporal Primary and Intelligence Secondary instead of the way it is. But then they wouldn't still make money of the Verne I guess.
Personally i love that ship, i love all big ships, i like that it isn't the most popular but each to there own and the more people hate on it the more i like it. On a CC comment the console trait and boff layout aren't amazing, but ive done everything on the higher end with that ship tanking HSE, 1mil plus dps runs as torps fire at will and csv and they have all been sufficiently good, so if you like and want to get one go for it :)
I'm sorry 😂 Didnt want to make this into a thing but I'm glad you it came across as a friendly nudge and nothing more. Tbh, every YT'er has his own filler word, so you're not alone in this. I mean Spencer uses the words "I love BO3 and the Parliament" as filler words a lot 😅 But this will fix itsself the more you create YT vids, so no need to focus on this, that was never my intention.
Really depends on what builds you generally run for max dps in thee current "meta" of the game the most powerful ship if the Legendary Avenger, not any of the premium ship. But that is also needing ships to fill in the traits and console to make it that good.
The guys thing is annoying. Some notes my viewers on my channel gave me were I said "so" and "really really" too much. The trick is to watch yourself after an edit and see WHY you're saying it so much. I think you're using it as a transition word and when you want to emphasize something. If you watch yourself more you'll see when you do it, you also do it a lot when you can just say the sentence without it. Take guys out every time you try to emphasize something and see how it works. Just a friendly recommendation to someone who also struggles with words like that.
The World Razer is from Season TWO (2) of Star Trek: Picard, NOT SEASON THREE (3) as you stated! The Constitution III-class is from Season THREE (3) of Star Trek: Picard! You thus really should pay attention to what you are saying and get your facts straight!
The introduction of ship traits was genius. Getting people to buy a ship they don't care about and have no intention of using. 💰
yep yes it is. not getting my money for a ship that I dont want just for a trait though

I love the shrike, amazing layout, looks awesome, probably in my top 3 in game. My other favourite is the dhailkhina, it's just so flexible.

It's certainly better than when people say "like" every few words lol

Yeah it one of the better ships in the game of the gear it provides all going towards the same builds.
As a newish player, I've been really enjoying the content. Great information. Keep it up.

that kelvin dreadnaught is a beautiful ship and one of my favorite ships. i got lucky and was given it as a bday gift from a dear friend last year.
Remember when the C-store was considered 'premium'. 🤣

Theseus can have 7 isomags. Gorn can have 8
Love the thumbnail. The World Razer's such a beast 😍

Gorn Hunter Pilot Raider...Period, that's the only one to get...I'll be getting that one for my Romulan character for her Plasma weapon build
The Immolating Phaser Lance is excellent on its own doing Large amounts of burst damage to damage or finish off enemy ships! 😁
I’ll get the Connie 3 for this year’s Event Campaign mainly for the shangri la look. The Connie 3 has a lot of problems but the role and package is great.
Yeah me too!

Nope all ships can use type 7

And naturally it has one since it's a strike wing warbird.
So basically it has the best of all worlds layout wise.
i prefer the D7 mw over the lexington, 8 slots for isomags and 2 hangar bays, not to mention it's trait...i'm kinda surprised it wasn't mentioned.

I wonder if we will get finally after all this time , The Borg Cube.....lockbox for certain if we do.
I hope so
Really enjoying your content 👍🏽
the cony 3 I have great Razer had but could get used to flying it trying to get the exc.
Gorn hunter was a game changer for me
the legendary galaxy dreadnought is a good ship even though people take or leave the look of the thing its about 50/50
Can you do a mudds bundle guide. I would want to pick one up during a 50% sale. Which is also the time all the bundles are available.
I’ll add it to the list
Nic dearie....mother calling....you also say 'you know' quite a lot too! We don't know...so do tell us!😜

Thanks for this great video, could you please make the same video about Lobi ships? Would be awesome 😊
i'll add it to the list :)
@@Nic_NB thanks! 😀
What are your thoughts on the Universe class?

All good man i like when people mention these sort of things in a nice way like you did, so thank you :)
Personally I want to know whatever the most powerful ship is in combat
Really depends on what builds you generally run for max dps in thee current "meta" of the game the most powerful ship if the Legendary Avenger, not any of the premium ship. But that is also needing ships to fill in the traits and console to make it that good.
The game has severe power creep though some traits from 6 years ago are still meta.
Isnt it cheaper to buy them on exchange than using keys
Depends on your luck when opening with keys
Vengeance is fun.
The Ford fiesta of STO. Everyone has one...

Title is totally off Nic, should be my favourite infinity box ships.
Shame about the shitty traits and console on the Dhailkhina, also the singularity core ruins it for me.
Yeah, would almost be to good to be true then
Eh follow the bot farming gambling fiend our FleetGodfather himself Spence and use the term folks 😁
The World Razer is from Season TWO (2) of Star Trek: Picard, NOT SEASON THREE (3) as you stated! The Constitution III-class is from Season THREE (3) of Star Trek: Picard!
