kilngon players i am used to getting 5 or 6 kills off of r killing me in 2 seconds where i can,t even get them to half damage dropping a tricobalt on there ship from point black with there shields down. matter of fact playing pvp sive patch i might have got one kill in. why are escorts so easy to pop all energy weapons but 2 only do 40 percent damage because of different armor consoles i use
Tricobalt? On an ESCORT?!!! Leave those to the cruisers.
But seriously, have you ever heard "The best defense is a good offense?" Well, invert that. If you're getting focus fired, then say something to your teammates, and do something to prevent it. Or, even better: Respec with getting focus-fired in mind.
And, finally, Escorts are flying with /godmode off now. Wither suck it up, or learn what a truly inferior class feels like. Basically, try flying a Runabout, like I did when I felt like my Escort was useless. You'll find out just how useful even the smallest addition of firepower/cannon fodder is. Good cannon fodder keeps the others alive, and tough cannon fodder is even better than weak cannon fodder. And, try using your explosion to break up the enemy ranks. You'll see what they do if that happens. And use Ramming Speed. A LOT.

Well the next nerf call will be our bop universal stations I'm sure... they took our big gun powers and put in big heal powers. Well guess what the bop can run either. The only way my bop goes down now is if 3 or more good feds focus on me... or I get board and ram a cruiser that won't die. Now in cap matches instead of going 40 and 6 kill ratio I'm going 15 and 0. Everyone who has adappted is much harder to kill. The poor Fed Escort is stuck with too many tac slots.
Yes...yes you are.Was a pleasure being on your team a few times during capture and holds finally.:D
I am loving the new changes. My escort seems to take a hit a bit better than it did before. I may be getting lucky lately being surrounded by some cruisers and sci. ships that are on the ball with the heals but I think over all the fights are lasting longer giving healers time to spread the life saving goodness. That might have a lot to do with my survivability but I still don't think I go pop as fast as before the patch.

This is not a good thing.
RS shouldn't be a firstline attack.
but... but... what if my captain's inner child has a tendency to play bumper cars with huge space ships that hold the lives of hundreds of fellow sentient beings?

You know you want to open up that FvK PvP with everyone ramming the carrier. I mean, c'mon, how can you resist?

Why are so many of you saying Escorts suck? I don't get it. I pwn in mine. Almost always top damage and kills. I am really thinking many of you need to either go back to the drawing board on your set up (your skills and BO skills) or play a diff class of ship. It also could be you are in a bad group pvping.
I find escorts a bit less in damage now but..... really folks escorts are fine.
PWN (verb) 1. An act of dominating an opponent. 2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects. Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned". Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games. 1. "I pwn these guys on battlenet"
"pwn" was around years before Warcraft on the IRC. I saw it often. When I asked what it meant (like asking about "LOL", "brb" and "afk"... yea...everything was fresh at one time) it was explained to me that someone misspelled "Owned" (Slipped a key typing it) while pointing out someone just got verbally (textingly?) dogged, and it stuck. It was used frequently from '91 on through the earlier popularity of IRC (was using IRC in 91 on my screaming new 80486).
Whoever made urban dictionary was probably too young, because that explanation of the origin is flatly false. I am sure the Warcraft devs probably used IRC back then.

I could still use a bit more durability so my cortie doesn't pop so easily. It would be fun if we could hang in a fight a bit longer, other than that - I have no complaints.
I've found that I do quite well in my escort during pvp.
My strategy: sneek up on the fight. Wait for the fight to get going then coast into just within weapons range of some enemies who are engaged with another fed ship. Slow engines and let loose with all your fire power. No one usually notices me untill I've done some serious damaage. Once I get noticed and start getting attacked I throw emergency power to shields, hit speed buffs, maybe jam sensors, and make my getaway! :eek:

i think the problem is that Escorts are prime targets after 1.2 even more then before.... Lets see, 2 cruiser, no 3 cruiser, all RSP on, oh wait.....there is an Escort who thinks he can kill that Carrier, okay, APO, APA, HY III, BO II, RF II, DEM I...decloack....and....boom, hit evasive and bye.......:cool:
So you do nothing then?
Fed escorts are still better than raptors though
Look at what you've added to this post. You must be one bright guy. Why don't you add something constructive....or maybe your brain can't process something so complex.
And by the way almost always end up with the most damage at the end of the round.

It's time to get that number changed. Or at least block the caller.
Too many nerf calls lately.
