Question: Do I need to buy the Patrol Escort for 2500 ZEN and then buy the Fleet Patrol Escort for 20k Fleet Credits in order to unlock the new patrol escort skin on the fleet patrol escort?
The Patrol Escort Refit comes with the new Tempest class costume by default. As a Patrol Escort, it can also use costume parts from the Dervish, Gryphon and Hermes class costumes. If you have already unlocked the Maelstrom costume, it will also be available to you. Purchasing the Patrol Escort Refit: Tempest Class will unlock the Tempest costume for all Patrol Escorts.
Not sure which get TRIBBLE more over, KDF for not having anything new, or Fed requiring to rebuy their old ship, mtwice if they want fleet version.
At Captain Oblivious: You're correct. I had to buy the ship for 2500 C-coins (zen) inside the Customization Tailor. Then I had to dismiss it. I thought I'd get around that part but no can do. I had to go back to the ship tailor and redo my custom look after buying a fleet console. So I paid 3000 Zen and 20,000 fleet credits to get the new patrol escort look and the fixed aft cannons.

Also if you already had a FPE, it won't be upgraded. You have to buy the FPE v2 in order to get that layout.
