hello fellow captains im looking for information on these 3 c-store ships.
defiant retrofit.
armitage escort carrier.
MVAM prometheus.
while i know flying these are of each players personal taste i would like a user review on the advantages/disadvantages to each one if possible

. the problem im running into is i particularly enjoy the design and techs of all 3 but can only afford 1 of them. so im looking for that last deciding factor on purchasing.

if you like to dish out the highest possible pure damage go with defiant.
If you want to have a bit more survivability, use the Armitage for the LC Engineering station.
If you like to have some fancy tricks to confuse or weaken your enemy, pick the MVAM and enjoy the LC Science station.
Prometheus would be my second favorite. Get a sci with TSS3 (rare boff skill, need to find it on exchange for a couple mil.) for STFs or survivability in general. Other good options for that slot are tractor repulsors/grav wells for PVE or Viral Matrix for PVP. Pets are less useful than Army but the extra turn rate when MVAMed is great.
Defiant is my least favorite, but still a good ship. Can be extremely maneuvorable with 2 copies of APO. But it is a glass cannon and has real problems in a PUG. It needs a good engineer in support with heals. Great for pre-made team play.
Very much not the same, but you could buy one of the other two and get two of the boff-layouts.
Other than that, do you have the advanced escort? If going for the MVAE you can use the separation console on that one too.
Just throwing these two things out there

It has fleet ship stats (10 console) very tanky boff layout, a nice special console and its account wide.
I got it when it was on sale tho.
