Ship question

[Hera]

I bought TOS bundle and uniforms and I got a class F shuttle with it.  I dont have the coins left to grab extra ship slots right now so Im wondering if the shuttle is better than my Miranda starting vessel.  

In a logical world this wouldnt even be a question but this is an MMO so... yea..

defiantly not but the constitution that you gain with the bundle is alot better.

And, as shuttle goes, you will be eventually able to craft for yourself the Delta Flyer (there is a mission to gain the blueprint to do that) which is one if not the top shuttlecraft available; at least, it works perfectly well in the few shuttle missions out there (in the Romulan and Dominion series).

The class F is cute for nostalgia's sake or for any "time story roleplay" but it is still a basic shuttle; gamewise, the same thing as the basic class 8 you get freely in the game.

The Delta is a c store item according to the Wiki as of season 5 the quest chain is obsolete :/

It is a bit better than the F

1k more hull
+1 Ensign Sci officer
+2 turn rate
+.04 Impulse modifier

All in all its really close and I'm fond enough of TOS that I doubt Ill ever buy a Delta.  :D

I did The Vault with a class 8 without problem so I guess the F should do fine also. It was a bit tougher with the Jem'Hadar series in a Delta Flyer but not sure a Class 8 (or F) would have done all that worse if properly equipped (like with the Aegis set and purple gear).

Like many things in STO, unless you PvP (in a shuttle... hehe) the little fractions of stats will not make much difference so, again as i said before, go with your heart and have fun!

I prefer a Danube runabout for The Vault and Dominion series mission myself...more durable than a shuttle and packs more of a punch.

Tried it... not impressed... but most of all, I hate those ugly space jeeps.

I do play with my heart.

Same. Thats why its F all the way for me.  2 360 turrets and the right consoles make short work of just about anything.  If Im hunting larger ships I use a topredo for the kinetic damage.  

I just about died laughing when I used transwarp in my shuttle.  I had to do it again to get an image of the Type F jumping to warp it was just way too silly.

The original Enterprise is a great starter ship.  As for the shuttles there are so many others out there I have actually never used my original shuttle at all.  I still use my delta flyer that I crafted the old fashion way.
