Escorts Nerfed?

I'm talking on Teamspeak last night with Fleet Members from around he world.
We all have different escorts, builds, and BOFF layouts .
Many of these players before season 7 were the STF Elites of the Elites.
Now they don't even want to do a STF and looking for the easy missions.
Why they just blow up over and over and complain that nothing's the same.

Myself I paid hard cash for Lobi so I could get a M?bius it was exciting and fun.
Now I feel like I got ripped off, I saw the release note and thought it was just the destroyers.

But talking to everyone we have concluded its all escorts, science abilities, and the Borg plasma is vicious now.


All of us paid money to get a escort so why even bother upgrading your ship if later its not what you paid for.

    That's because borg plasma torps can be fired in any direction now. Deal with it like everyone has that decides to take them head on.

    Also, Escorts != tanks, if they've finally gotten a tanking nerf, Thank God. It's been an extremely long time coming.

    On the plus side, switch in scatter volley, torp spread and you'll be getting top spots in SB24, for dil and purples.

    Sure, it's facerolling-easy, but escorts are sure to win number 1, considering the nature of the scoring mechanism.

    You shouldn't have bothered, unfortunately.

    Cryptic have taken a boardroom decision not to offer value for money (via longevity) on their products.

    You must now spend and buy Zen for a different ship. Yes, it's extremely unethical, but that's just the way they've decided to remodel their business. It's technically not theft, just a minor infraction on your wallet. Get used to it, as they will now never stop.

    Can I ask someone to quote the relevant part of the release notes, because I am not seeing it...

    Updated Mobius and Krenn Weapon power and default Defense.
    Both ships were getting double inherent defense bonus and an extra +15 weapon power. This is now corrected.
    Its the 2nd item in the system changes

    Probably referring to the following line in the latest release notes under Systems:

    Updated Mobius and Krenn Weapon power and default Defense.

    Escorts seeming weaker may not nessacarily be a nerf, but a result of some of the alterations to the gear...

    And you know... Tribble has been with theese changes for a while... Been metioned several times as well... You guys could have pitched in.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Working as intended. Escorts are not designed to sit still in space and take all kinds of damage. What you're seeing is a return to what escorts were in the past and are supposed to be. Either they need to learn to adapt or consider using a different ship type altogether.
