Mirror escorts and science vessels a possibility?

It didn't take long for me to win a mirror assault cruiser from a lockbox, and decided to create an engineer character just to enjoy using it. I know that Eng-Cruisers aren't anything terribly special, but that's besides the point. I love flying around in it. Thanks to proper skill distribution, the EPS buff, and proper equipment, I can boost everything over 100, and they're already over 65 as is.

Is there any possibility that mirror versions of escorts and science vessels might make it in as well? I can understand arguments against escorts- take the same power boosts and extra console slot that the cruisers have and give them to the only vessels who can efficiently use Dual Heavy Cannons, and you'd be adding more power to what some consider to be OP as it is.

Science vessels have nothing to worry about though. Not like they'd get a fourth front or aft weapon slot ot anything.


What are your thoughts?

    Hmmm. rather unusual for a thread to not get at least one response. Nobody has any thoughts about it?

    Not sure you've noticed, but stat-wise the FED Mirror Universe Cruisers aren't that different from their base models.
    They just swapped the Skins and Crew values of the base ones.
    So, if they follow the same formula:
    SVs:
    - Mirror Luna that looks like a Trident and has 150 more Crew.
    - Mirror Trident that looks like a Luna and has 150 less Crew.

    Escorts:
    - Mirror Prometheus that looks like a Hermes and has 50 more Crew.
    - Mirror Hermes that looks like a Prometheus and has 50 less Crew.

    ...is what we'd get.

    Far from being potentially OP, they'd be as underwhelming as the existing Mirror Cruisers, hence the lack of interest in the thread.


    [KDF-side, the Mirror Vor'Cha provides a new option (well, the Bortasqu' obsoletes it, but that's another matter entirely), which is welcome.]
