this escort is very good ship, i use it well, but one thing bugs me.. the 3rd tact station ensign .... why is it even there lol.For cannon build its completely useless lol .it should be removed, and make the second station lt commander. that will make it so much better and way worth cryptic points that would mean we'd be able to have torp spread 3 and HY 3 which would help a great deal in dps .

Have you tried the MVAM console on the original Advanced escort? It has higher level tac stations.

i'm talking about the actual bridge officer stations. not consoles

So was he... The Advanced Escort and the MVAE are the same ship except that their Bridge Officer stations are re-arranged a bit.

However, I agree... Ensign Tactical is a waste. It would be far better off with an Ensign Sci or Engineering if it MUST have an Ensign.

Ahhh the useless ensign tactical station. Also known as the "Wheaton Seat" .

I usualy use it for a second tac team. Rotating two tac teams is effective. The third i put a HY 1 or BO3...

For a cannon/torp build, the HY 1, TT1, TT1, APB 1, CRF1, crf2 ,APO3 is a nice layout for mvam, Although i sometimes swap the beta for a hy2. i find the beta usally is better, even with the omega conflict.

That ensign tac is really annoying indeed. Should be eng or sci. Preferably sci. Like advanced escort.

a waste? i think not. i put in Tac Team there, so that i can run two on the engisn slots, and for the their ensign slot i run torp spread. that way i can keep tac team going with a short intermission between the two while the one cools down.

hmm, well i have tact team 1 twice, i have torp spread 2 &3 cannon scatter vollet 1 & 3 (for my mvam escort, and my 3rd tact has beam skills for when using cruiser. it is a waste costhey're isn't much skills for that slot that u dont already have espically for cannon builds

I use it for my 3rd tac team.

I can't remember for sure, but isn't there attack pattern's for Ensigns???
