I've noticed the each addition of T6 ships that escorts have been getting the shaft.
When we got the first of the T6 ships in delta rising we got 2 Cruiser, 2 Science vessels, and 1 Escort. Science would then get a 3 T6 ship, The Pathfinder.
Now we have the T6 Command ships and once again Escorts are getting the shaft with Cruisers getting 3 variants of the same ship.
My questions is when will Escorts get their major lime light with T6 ships?
Is that really getting the shaft? Be glad you don't have to rebuy already for the next OP ship.
Of course, that is ignoring the Escorts that are part of the recent Lobi/Lockbox releases.

Kinda nice that we're not getting swamped with Escorts, so we're moving away from teh "Escorts Online" tag people use to use. Cruisers are gaining relevance again, and with the recent Secondary Deflector addition, Science ships as well.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

If there's one thing I'm tired of, it's eng heavy escorts. Recent escorts in the game have all been loaded with lt cmdr eng seats. I'd like to see more with lt cmdr tac or sci seats.
Getting the shaft is also getting a T6 Intel Escort just to find out the T5 (not T5U) Defiant (not fleet) has stronger shields and hull strength. Yet they are almost the same ship. Intel has a built in cloak and intel bridge officer slot. Not to mention it is larger and comes with a passive trait... Yay

You also get Intel abilities and a Phaser Lance that synergizes well with the Intel abilities, and is way more user-friendly than any previous "lance" abilities.

At least you feds got an escort, a couple cruisers and a few science ships. Where is my T6 BOP or KDF science ship or rom science ship? Quit your whining.

I was very surprised that I can't even T5-U my Heavy BOP.
