Just going to say this.

Any ship that has a Fleet level version is obsolete once you get access to said fleet level version. Most, if not all ships under level 40 access are also obsolete, due to lower hull, shield mods, BOff ability slots, and console slots. And as stated before, most ships that have less than 10 console slots are either obsolete or significantly inefficient in comparison (only exceptions being Birds-of-Prey, which have fewer console and BOff slots than every other ship of equal level). For that matter, most ships that you cannot access below level 50 are obsolete.

Exceptions to that last statement are lock box ships, the Breen Chel'Gret, and the Jem'hadar Attack Ship (no, it's NOT a lockbox ship).

Patrol Escort
Rank: RA
Hull: 31k
Shield mod: .9
Console Count: 9
Universal BOffs: none

Fleet Patrol Escort
Rank: VA
Hull: 34100
Shield mod: .99
Console Count: 10
Universal BOffs: 1 Ensign

Fleet Patrol superior in every way.

Star Cruiser
Rank: RA
Hull: 39k
Shield mod: 1.0
Console Count: 9
Universal BOffs: none

Fleet Star Cruiser
Rank: VA
Hull: 42900
Shield mod: 1.1
Console Count: 10
Universal BOffs: none

Fleet Star Cruiser superior in every way.

I could do this all night with a ton more ships, but you get the idea.

P.S. It was stated earlier that RA ships with mk X white weapons could complete STFs and opts. It's true. They can. But it's not as efficient and is being a burden on your team-mates.
