Dang I love you my dea... uh you're here! Sorry I was talking to my ship 
Hello PvPers!
First, I hate when Rylana's right. When you said "MVAE's still a solid ship"... you got me there, wanted to see if this was true. Bought the upgrade token, bought a DBB CrtDx3 and upgraded it, took the Pathfinder out and got its trait at last, re-thought the ship with Reciprocity in mind. Damn you it worked :P
Not joking, it blasted through a Contortrix in 1v1 (and no, the opponent is a friend of mine who's very good at it), a small perma-beta command speedfreak. Man if that ensign was engi... but! it worked even without it, as a result it sports three sup operatives, one sup subterfuge and a human.
Really gotta say that DR gave my MVAE new life. Bonus hull, mastery passives and Rock and Roll when RSP is not there. Drawback: it's expensive to build, but you should have a Fleet Multi Vector from days past... am I correct? :P

doffs: three EPTX cooldown, Emergency Conn Hologram, WC Engineer cleanse, Science Team CD and buff. You're not getting out of this setup: this or bust.
How to use it: First thing you do when you enter Arena is to hit Multi Vector Beta Command, and for no reason whatsoever you'll leave it. At most hit Gamma Command if you wanna go defensive. Forget Alpha Command, you'd be better with keeping the Prometheus united.
About Starship Traits: you must, must, must, must use Reciprocity. Then traits like Ablative Field Projector and/or Desperate Repairs would be useful, better than Battle Ready which will drive you crazy with FX and you'll only end up having one stack at most running.
How to fly it: there is only one rule, don't stop unless strictly needed for aiming, have an auxiliary battery ready to pop and use Hazard to get a massive hull heal at once. Usually when I do that I also pop all the three shield heals to have 9k bonus temporary hull and greater shield strength from TSS. If you don't have the Pathfinder trait feel free to load PH1 instead.
Loving this ship once again; I've let gio to have a go on it in Arena, as a result he said "**** this I'm buying a Prometheus". Eventually, you'll get to love it as well!
Still here? Have another go on yer Prometheus, you're free to steal my build
Now, Defiant, here I come... challenge accepted

Are you using phasers because of your Tempest?
A T6 MVAE with a Lt universal would be amazing. Because it's cryptic, I'm sure we'll see one before the KDF gets another ship.
Cryptic to the Feds: Here's 5 new ships, made with love, just for you
Cryptic to the KDF: NO SHIP FOR YOU!!! and quit complaining!!
anyway, your ship looks fun
Also, is your T5U channel active? If so I would like an invite. @RMY1081
About reciprocity, yes it's veery good. I wish there were other means to get it, but having acess to it is something you should really consider in your build
yep, but its also just about the best ship in the game too. an intel COM hybrid station on an escort chassis is incredibly powerful. as for the trait, each evaded shot lowers the cooldown of tac and intel powers. for a lot of ships, this all but eliminates the need for an AtB build, for the rest, a fed character with it would never need to use a second copy of AtB for acceptable tac skill uptime again. rom and kdf characters aren't worth post DR developing until they somehow get a hold of this trait too.
I thought you were talking to DAT trill girl
Btw, cryptic, make that ensign tac an unversal one for the fleet version of mvae, please!!!
If so how would you set it up ?
For a second, while writing it... I thought about... DAT... er...
and also the show's one lol.
Indeed, it screams for an ensign engi. If it could run AtD properly/RSP, gawd the lolz on this ship.
Mirror MVAE... I guess you mean the one with old Patrol's layout. It was my first escort back in the days.
Well, it's a 9 console ship, can't be upgraded... it wouldn't for one simple reason, at least in PvP: it can't get to have as much hull and shield strength as the FT5U does. Mirror ships aren't weak, they're worse than sheets of wet paper.
My advice would be to not bother seriously building it, just follow general escort ship builds. Have a look at Hilbert Guide (google it), you should find some basic builds to get started.
