Hey Guys,

I have the Blockade Runner Escort Retrofit and wanted your thoughts on it.

What do you guys think of it, and if you like it, what are some build recommendations?

Thanks!

    PvP, since what works for PvP works for PvE.......you think it's a good ship? I have been flying it around and miss my defiant.

    From what I hear it's a pretty darn good ship. Okay engi slotting makes it plenty durable, and the tac slotting is nice. Only downside is you're pretty much locked into Hazard Emitters I on your sci boff.

    As for builds? http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/search.php?faction=Federation&career=&ship=Blockade+Runner+Escort+Retrofit&action=Search

    I own one. Very good ship for^ the price, but outclassed by the Hunter Escort and others but those ships are very expensive. Someone up here ^ posted a link to some bulids.

    I really like the steamy, got it very cheap in the steam sale so a lot of my alts use it.

    Fleet level account wide escort with a cool console and a nice boff set up.

    I will say that for me it's lost its shine a little to the new fleet patrol refit.

    That is not the kind of ship you want to bring into pvp...

    I think a single aux2bat build would be most viable...but dang it doesn't look to good.
