Jem'Hadar escort carrier or Dreadnought?

tostrek2012

I just received a Jem'Hadar escort carrier. Previously, all of my ships are cruisers plus an escort.

I am an Engineer without an attack bug ship. I understand that if you have an attack bug ship then you get an advanced hanger bay for the carrier. Some players said the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought was a better ship than the escort carrier. I am thinking of trading the escort with the dreadnought. What is your opinion on this?

If you want a tank, I say go for the Dread. It should be a very hard nut to crack backed up with Engineering Captain abilities.

The Jem'hadar Bug ship lets you get Jem'hadar Bug pet hangars, hangars that are 'Advanced' in name are from the Dilithium Store. If you don't have a Bug, you can still get Advanced Jem'Hadar fighter hangars.

Not hearing good things about the Bug ship fighters. There is a thread discussing how much they suck. As of right now for pure damage, the consensus seems to be the Elite Scorpion Fighters.

My feelings on Escort Carriers and Carriers is that Carriers are to support the fighters while the Escort Carriers are to fight with the fighters.

I'm still betting on the bug fighter pets getting buffed/fixed. The origional ones seem too suck, but the advanced ones from what people have said have extremely good items but the AI is broken currently. I highly doubt such an end game item will stay broken for long, not with cryptics track record...
