What do you all think about the Kumari class ships?
I have been tending towards blowing some zen on the Odyssey class ('cause it is so perty and beams are what I remember about Star Trek), but with Morlen being a tactical, I am not sure. Should I get the Kumari set instead? Point of reference, my current dps ship is a Chimera that I am working on improving. I enjoy playing that since reacting dynamically is interesting.
Also, I want to beat Shane in PVP some day. ;-) OK beat ANYbody in PVP some day...
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

If you want to beat someone in PvP, then avoid the Oddy. I love the ship but it is a pve ship and I can't kill anyone in the fleet with it. I think your chimera is pretty good. I'm loving the new Andorian ship.

I did hear the other day in ESD chat that the Kumari is not so good if you are soloing - it is pure DPS and needs some distractors/healers to survive. What do you think? Vast majority of time I spend in game is solo PVE, so I am leaning towards that now. Also thinking about getting the point defense module - that seems like a really useful console. And I found Star Trek Online for $10 at Wal-Mart, so I have that on the way, along with a Red Matter console. Trying to catch up with you veterans here...

The point defense console has a cool down but I like it. It is great for killing fighters.
I do mostly PvE. I only really do PvP with people from the fleet.

Thanks for the input Dy'zen. I took advantage of the 15% bonus zen, so maybe I'll be buying those Odysseys soon...

Ran into Kumaris in PVP pretty often since release. Silly DPS with 5 forward guns and 5 tac console slots, well built ones can kill my Regent in one pass, but I'd agree that (like most escorts) they're a little lacking in survivability unless well supported. About equal to the Fleet/Patrol Escorts in that respect I'd say (from observation only).

I have fun with it on STFs because most of the time no one is shooting at me and when they do I'm out of range and my healing keeps me going. I have no idea if mine is properly constructed, though. I have the wings cannons, a quad phased, a dual heavy phaser, a fleet transphasic torp, and the breen transphasic cluster torp in the front. In the back I have some transphasic mines and a phaser turret. I've got the three consoles you get with the bundle so my drones are good. They tend to die a lot, though.
