With the current ship sale going on I'm thinking its time to vault my Fed Tac alt into a higher level of play since I'm going to start the serious rep grind with him.
My Main Rommie Engineer loves his Aux2Bat Scimi, what would be the comparable ship for my Fed Tac Captain?
I see a lot of Escorts in STOacademy - I'm not great at mario skills so I like the survivability that the scimi gives my rommie (although its not perfect.) At least that's where I want to take him for now, unless its a really bad mistake to do so.
Closest would probably be either the Avenger, Regent, or the new Tempest. 'Close' is the keyword though, since nothing Fed or KDF is going to fully match the Scimitard's laundry-list of bonus features.
The Avenger would be more agile than the Reagent, and is one of only two Federation ships (the other being the Andorian escort) capable of mounting five Dual Cannons.

Just out of curiosity, could you give that "laundry list" of "bonus features", that the Scimitar has and the Avenger (or Mogh) doesn't have?

Battle cloak, singularity powers, Romulan/Reman boffs, some of the better console bonuses along with the option for the Valdore console, hangar pets that are more useful than some players, 2 universal stations in locations that offer real choice, and being 10-console out of the box. Even taking away the first three as 'stuff all Romulans get,' thats still a lot of extras.

pointed ears................+ 7.5% crit chance from brige crew the Fed and klink officers are just lame
The broke valdore console which lets a tac scim tank like a Fed cruiser when used with the borg set..............its pretty sick
Singularity core from the spire
-40 power doesnt matter easily countered by plasmonic leach and aux to batt
Battlecloak
Elite drones the best pets in the game
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
5 Boff with superior operative (+10 Crit Chance, + 25 Crit Severity)
5 Tac Consoles from Spire (+8 Crit Chance)
Elite Romulan Drone Ship
You can easily get 30% crit chance. (Assimilated Module, Tachyokinetic Converter, Bioneural Infusion Circuits, Plasmonic Leech, Zero Point Energy Conduit/Shield Absorptive Frequency Generator)
Because of the turnrate, I prefer beam arrays. (FAW3, Beta3)
There is nothing equal to a scimitar. Nothing can make up the pet + Boffs.
Nicor, Fleet Avenger, Fleet Dreadnought Cruiser might be compareable.
My fleet is still growing, I assume I have to temporarily join a big fleet to purchase a ship? One advantage of a fleet shop is I would not have to worry about Zen sales, but its an alt without a lot of fleet credits yet...
Looking at all the great suggestions, I do like the Avenger, so far...but haven't looked at the Fleet Dreadnaught closely yet. These are all great ships! I bet I could do "ok" with any of 'em.
The Nicor looks nice, but its pretty pricy on the exchange, currently 187M.
(My Rommie runs beams because of the scimi turn rate, so itd be fun to run DHC's...)
Still haven't located the Regent...C-store isn't all that easily searchable!
Forget the Nicor. Take a look at the new patrol escort they just released if you want something similar but without having to spend stupid amounts of EC on it. It just has a more eng slant to it while the Nicor is more sci.
The Avenger is a monster of a ship as already mentioned. I love mine.
