I'm kinda leaning for the akira...because CANNONS. Picked up some nice klingon disruptor cannons.
But heavy cruiser...4 nacelles. Bonus power to all systems...
That said, Cryptic is indeed devious. You only got 4 bridge officer slots and various ships have different bridge officer posts. So you HAVE to buy new slots in order to fill those.
I got 1 tactical, 2 engiener, 1 science officer....any my current ship has 2 science slots. Which I cannot fill.
Akira has 2 tacticals..which I won't be able to fill.
Good move Cryptic..good move. If only your micro-transactions actually were micro..
