    Bad point is the useless tactical slot.

    Doffs can fix the issue but I would rather use my doffs in other fields.

    It'll be an aux2bat boat
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    This may be the Prime era of the A2B build. I shudder to think what future build will dethrown the A2B build. If its even possible.

    The only way I ever see it happening is through the addition of new doffs. Something like, when using a Sci ability the Next sci abilitys damage output is trippled. Anyways it could be done with some crafty doffs. Only problem is this does nothing for the PVE of the game because theres never any new challengeing content. It could only influence PVP.

    I don't think so.

    TT, CRF1, CRF2, APO3
    TT, APB1
    TS1
    EPTE1, RSP1, EPTS3
    HE1, TSS2

    So 2 zemoks, 3 damage control, and a keel'el?

    30 second cd on a weak torp skill...even in pvp, that sounds a bit low end.

    Tt, apd1, apo1, crf3
    Tt,
    Epte1, a2b1, rsp
    Epts1, a2b1,
    St1, HE1

    Depending how bad TRIBBLE those new xindi boffs are, you might be able to get away with just 1 a2b and get dem in there.

    Wouldn't it be so much better in both of our builds I'd that tactical was a sci or an engineer?

    Honestly

    (i wont be making mine an aux2bat ship...just making a point of the near worthless ensign slot)

    I'd throw a torp or something in the aft slot looking for a set bonus somewhere and a 3rd SRO...

    Any derived damage from it would just be gravy or spam clearer.

    A third/second sro, good point. But we are in agreement that it's wasted potential

    certainly the best AtB pug stomp escort. 5 fore weapons continues to be the most damage buffing factor on cannon ships, i cant believe how hard i can hit with 5 DHC on my mogh and avenger, and this is an escort platform. that ENS tac is the only letdown, assuming an AtB build.

    17 turn rate, 3 eng consoles, it wont break any mobility records, and the survivability enhancements wile not losing tac skill uptime from an AtB build will only be relevant if no healer is around. if there is, it wont be much of an improvement over an andorian, and still wont be able to keep up with a well flown bug.


    im just surprised how quickly the hunter and patrol refit was downgraded

    Why even debate this, we all know 98% of people who get it will IMMEDIATELY slap A2B on it and never think about it again.

    Well, off the topic of A2B, does the console spawn a mobile turret that follows you around, or does it sit in one place?

    TS1 or BFAW (depending on what you put in aft slot)
    EPTE1, RSP1, EPTS3
    HE1, TSS2

    RSP and EPtS3 means TSS2 is wholly unnecessary. Use that for HE2 to improve your lone hull repair. Then in the ensign sci you can do whatever, ST1 or maybe TB1, or use MES1 and they wont see you coming. So ridiculous putting that much engi on these ships, it lets you do crazy stuff that you have no business doing on an escort.

    And that hull/shield is crazy.

    I've been real stubborn with the Defiant. The Tempest though was a killer against it. Then this new Escort comes out...

    Well... If everybody would look back and think about this for a moment... The defiant is the first of this ship type, looking at a perspective of keeping the star trek world alive within the game ( which I personally don't believe is happening very much anymore) the defiant is a vintage ship, the first of the escorts, so don't knock it, just respect it. She is a rough tough scrapper built for nothing but straight firepower exchange, and well... Not much else... Especially since the ship is suppose to fall apart because of its design, only being held together by overcharged SIF generators, what could you possibly expect?

    The Escort is the Lobi Store ship. The Carrier, is the Lockbox ship.

    Well now you can use Nukara rep trait with higher Aux power.

    As for potential it really depends on the situation. 1v1, 5v5, PvE, CnHs, team play v pugging. ..

    EPTS3 makes you damn tanky in an escort with 1.1 shield mod.


    Throw in a high shield power of 125, TSS2, the undine reputation traits
    Nanoprobe Field Generator + Bio-Molecular Shield Generator, Pattern Recognition: Each stack grants +2% Defense and +2% Hardened Shields
    •Momentum: Each stack grants +3% Flight Speed and +3% Turn Rate, •Shields & Arrays ◦Activating a Shield Heal gives the target 99% Shield DR for 1 second, and aux2id doffed + armor or fleet eng console, and •Engineering ◦Activating any Engineering Bridge Officer ability gives 20% Damage Reduction for 3 seconds.

    Heck the list can go on, and you can make for some serious tankiness, but don't forget there are also those traits, that are there to try and negate all of this tankiness goodness.

    It's kinda disturbing to know I can't fly that little canon beauty like a pure escort because it is outdated. Just give it ensign universal, 0.99 shield modifier, battle cloak device. That'd do wonders for it.

    I'm thinking 5x DBBs with TT + Conns, 2xFAW, 2xAPs (depending on choice of APs, possibly with AP doffs if you are outlandishly rich), with Aux2Damp.

    Then see if you can get someone to yell at you for Aux2batting anyway.

    maybe wont be able to keep up with a well flown bug but can punch much harder..this Xindi have 17 turn rate but on 21 impulse modifier compared to the hirogen - 0.19 and s'golth - 0.20 and u have it on 5 fore ship..

    but yea it's basically super buffed A2B ready andorian with good shield/impulse

    Cryptic...update our beloved Defiant, immediately! We Feds players loving the REAL Star Trek Universe are sad to see too powerful vessels from minor civilizations!

    i dont think u can pass xindi as "minor civilizations"

    in the show u see reptilians as very aggressive spartan racist culture..
    so strictly form startreks pov it may be heresy lol but i don't think Defiant suppose to be on the same level of an elite xindi escort..
