I've been looking at the Scourge, both the Retrofit and the Fleet, and attempting to find any info from anyone on how they run. The problem is the only posts that I can find are about how you can't change it's look. Nothing on performance. So, anyone running one or that has run one...what did you think. What's it compare to? It reads like a fairly typical escort, but does it act like one.
I myself am looking to buy a Fleet Scourge. Obviously, I haven't flown one, but I can relay what I've heard and read about the ship's capabilities.
The Fleet Scourge is probably comparable to the Fleet Patrol Escort, although slightly less versatile (FPE has a universal ensign boffstation while the Scourge doesn't) and slightly more maneuverable (17 turnrate as opposed to the FPE's 16). It also has a slightly different console layout.
As far as I can tell, the Fleet Scourge is one of the best escort-level ships the KDF has (Krenn is probably better in certain respects). .99 shield modifier, excellent turnrate and inertia, decent boffstation layout. Tough and capable of dishing out damage. Good for PvP and PvE. It has no 'obvious' weaknesses that I know of. . .well-built and reliable.
I'd recommend getting it if you've got the resources to do so. It's a worthy buy.
