I just purchased a Fleet Escort and i'm not sure if I like it that much, I really liked my Defiant class ship. It seems that once I was promoted to RA i have major issues killing NPC's i killed easily as a captain using my fleet escort. I guess im asking what weapons should i be using for the fleet escort or does that class of ship just suck.

    The fleet escort is in every way superior to the Defiant type, numerically speaking. I'm guessing you need to tweak yer loadout some.

    The other thing to consider is are your BOff skills, i had to change mine around a bit between captain and admiral. It took me a bit of time to nail down, but (until i respec to take advantage of my Sovereign) my fleet escort became a bit of a beast. I can't stand the look of the T5 escorts - even the prometheus bugs me so that's why i'll be moving to a sovereign on my tactical officer.

    Give me a refit option for my t4 ships and i'll be back in my defiant faster than you can say all over it like a fat kid on cake :D

    I dislike the looks of the T5 escorts, i hope they bring in a refit.

    Fleet escorts are great. The important question is what weapons and skills you're using now? Did you transfer everything from your Defiant or have you already upgraded weaponry, bridge officers and consoles?

    Stats-wise, I agree. If they looked even as good (IMHO) as the Advanced Escorts, I'd be in one. But they don't; they're (again IMHO) ugly as sin, so I'll suffer with one less Eng console and BO slot.

    And it will be suffering after the patch...I'm generally in favor of nearly everything in it, but the EPS nerf is gonna hurt.
