My Engineer has been 'scoring' first place, multiple times, with a tac odyessey in both events. And I heal anyone in range of me!
I go places where escorts just don't dare. I don't have to line up my shots. I can survive having 15 klingon/gorn warships firing upon me with careful use of my skills and the right armor consoles.
I have a tact/escort I play too. Both class's have their strength's and weaknesses; and I honestly believe flying into a zergfest is best handled by an engineer/cruiser.
I'd argue that it's not favoring one ship type, though I would not argue that these events are dps races. My KDF engineer in a tor'khat pulls 1st most runs with an occasional 2nd. Builds do more for dps than ships do. Ships simply have some bonuses to certain power levels. Doesn't mean a lack of that particular bonus can't be more-than-compensated for by player skills, BOff skills, and consoles.
