Long-time casual player - SEVERAL campaign 'Premium Ship' tokens... no idea what to spend them on.
As the title stated, I am very-long-time (decade+) casual player with a LT account but no real sense of what kinds of 'metas' there are in this game. I do my daily event TFOs regularly but that's about it, so I have nearly every event reward for the last 5-6 years. I'm able to glean some info about stats and builds from threads here on STOBuilds... but it's a lot to take in all at once. I imagine, over time, it'll start to feel more coherent as I become more familiar with it.
I currently have Campaign rewards III - VIII still sitting in my bank. I assume the 'premium ship' option would be better than getting x1 (or x2) standard T6 Coupon(s)
* Campaigns 3,4, and 5 were straight "Premium Ship" vouchers (with no apparent date limitations?) * Campaign 6 'Premium Ship' voucher is limited to anything prior to Dec 31, 2023 * Campaign 7 'Premium Ship' voucher is limited to anything prior to Dec 31, 2024 * Campaign 8 'Premium Ship' voucher is limited to anything prior to Jan 9, 2026 * Plus a handful of normal T6 vouchers
I recently obtained the Ahwahnee Carrier *(I wanted the phaser-type hangar pets, which apparently are also pretty strong on their own)* before I realized I probably could've used one of the several T6 vouchers I have on a bank mule. Not wanting to waste Zen on things I should probably be using vouchers on, I figured I would try to get an idea of what would be the best ROI on those exclusive reward vouchers.
I currently have T6:
* 31st century Temporal 'trio' unlocked *(waaaaay back when, I wanted to try out a carrier, and the dreadnought had x2 bays, which apparently was a bit of a big deal back then for something that strong and the bundle happened to be on sale)* so the Dreadnought has pretty much been a staple of all my characters ever since, regardless of career. *It has since been re-branded as the 'Temporal Special Agent Pack' and the price has gone up considerably with the re-brand since then* * The aforementioned Ahwahnee Command Carrier * And for whatever reason, I appear to have the 4 ships from the 15 Anniversary Bundle unlocked... no idea why, as the Consoles and Masteries appear to be fairly mundane and I don't remember purchasing that bundle...? * Ark Royal Science Carrier * Kerala Temporal BC * Pioneer II Pilot HC * Shangri-La Warship
All of that to ask this...
Aside from maybe the obvious 'Atlas Prototype' and the 'Constitution/D7 Miracle Worker' options, are there any other meta-defining Ships/Consoles/Traits I should be looking for to use the time/date restricted bonuses?
I don't have any specific build types in mind, but I assume there's some really good all-purpose and otherwise build-agnostic acquisitions directly related to the set of reward tokens I have yet-unopened above. *Possibly a suggestion or two to supplement the new Hangar pets I just got -or- for my Cnidarian build (yes, I know they're not that good anymore, but I have a character invested in it already, so I might as well run with it)* but mostly just all-purpose things to supplement many different builds... unless there's 1 or 2 items I should absolutely need to have for specific beam/torp/Sci builds that are meta-defining themsevles.
Thanks in advance!
