Bah! Everyone's talking about FAW this, AtB that, DEM + EWP everywhere. Nobody's talking about the real potential of this new Fleet Patrol Escort: to be the first-ever healboat that turns faster than a dead cow!
Doffs: 2x Maint Eng, 2x Dev Lab Sci, 1x that new-fangled HE astrometrics doff.
Be amazed! The first-ever healboat to make a 360 in under a minute!
Be awed! It's small! It's fast(ish)! It's nimbler than a whale!
My dreams have finally come true! I can finally spin in circles AND heal people AND pew people in the face while running away! THANK YOU CRYPTIC!!! WE LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!1!

this was ether my 3rd or 4th thought after reading the station setup lol. like when i flew my hunter last, im spot healing as much as im attacking things, even with an AtB build. these AtB escorts and AtB cruisers tend to run the exact same heals, only the escorts move faster. guess which tends to survive better...
Here it is, updated Sao-Paulo with battle cloak, updated Defiant class with Quad cannons, now.... Solanne Heavy escort with; lets go for upgraded antiproton quads, dual warp cores with the special ability to warp core overload when the secondary core dumps all energy into a devestating energy weapon attack. followed with weapons offline (recoil) 5 sec?

Man if only the Nicor came with Quads.. :rolleyes:
I have mine build with a A2B beam boat, loving it so far, even if its an abomination of a ship that no alpha quadrant species should be able to fly.
I use to do 100K DPS, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
Your Ramming Speed III deals 242658 (243540) Kinetic Damage (Critical) to you.

I cant say the escorts survive better, my Galor runs an A2B build and is a beast. Takes more punishment than the Nicor. Then again I do not need to choose between RSP and DEM.
Dunno what it is about the Nicor, its shields seem to drop insanely fast. More so than other ships I have with a 1.0 modifier.

Could make the Defiant the most broken escort in the game if they wanted pretty easily.
BOFF Seating: Cmd Tac | Ltc Tac | Lt Eng | Lt Uni | Ens Sci
Consoles: 3 Eng; 1 Sci; 6 Tac
Bump Shield Mod to .99
Hull: 33333
Bump turn to 19
Integrate the cloak
Laugh all the way home.
-Only Ens Sci? Yeah, that ship never had or used much Sci; it wasn't an explorer, it was a destroyer.
-Integrate cloak? Yeah, I don't ever recal Sisko saying "Warf; to the Defiant in 5 mins, and grab that disgruntled Romulan lady and her cloak on your way."
-And yeah, leave it a 5 BOFF ship.
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot: Make the quad cannons equal to the fleet weapons. [ACC]x2 [DMG]x2 and get rid of the silly engine drain.
It still seems to work fine.
I wouldn't even call that broken in the context of space elves that use battlecloaks and singularity jumps every 11 seconds with decloak bonuses giving +30% dps and defence for the entirety of their *ambush* period.
After brief testing, with a2d/a2b vs pure a2b, a2b wins out (Duh, I know) but I am interested in trying some different layouts, lots of options hopefully. I'll be using a2Derp for pve as I rep and gear up, but will try some different things in pvp. This ship holds a special place in my heart and I couldnt help but get a goofy grin flying her last night. The USS Magua has finally been reborn
so as kdf im not sure what options i supposedly have any more.
there was nothing viable in the cstore, so i ran a bug. the bug eventually became ineffective and i moved on to a hunter. now the hunter is outclassed by a cstore ship and... really, are we making lockbox ships obsolete as a standard practice now? if so, can i at least get something in the cstore kdf-side?
this is a real turn off hey. faction made obsolete, every ship i choose to flay made obsolete, and there never seems to be a way out of it outside of deleting my toons and starting fresh feds/roms.
and we were once the pvp faction. how sad. starcitizen cant come soon enough.

LtC Sci: HE1, TSS2, ST3
Lt Sci: HE1, TSS2
Doffs: 2x Maint Eng, 2x Dev Lab Sci, 1x that new-fangled HE astrometrics doff.

I was out healing people in my BoP when your grandfather was still in diapers.
