well in 2 days my fleet should be getting its shipyard so we can try out the fleet patrol escort
it should be interesting because i was flying a old fleet escort now blockade escort before i switched to armitage it will be fun to see how it handles especially with both pointdefense systems.. cant wait to check out fleet weapons too

The beauty of Com Eng and LtCom Eng is that you can chain Emergency Power to Shields 3 which is great for super tanking....I can wade into battle surrounded by mobs of enemies and survive. Of course I do supplement with Tactical Team, Transfer Shield Strength and even Reverse shield polarity if things get rough. With both Com ENG and LtCom ENG, supplemented by LT Sci, you can do some extreme shield tanking and some hull tanking (depending how you set up your Sovereign). So I have a whole arsenal of shield and hull tanking abilities for all situations. Of course often I don't use it all but it has enough to handle almost any situation.

That is the playstyle many of us love with the current sovereign setup. Of course, the new tactical boff setup will be interesting to try, but I'd like the option to stay with the current setup as well. Hope they give us a fleet variant with the current setup.

I thank you very much for revealing that, still, there are a couple ways how you can maintain cycling just one EPtS III thanks to doffs. Also, the fleet version has better shields. So, I maintain this: In any PVE, the loss in tankability for the fleet version is minimal, if not negligeable (or just nonexistant altogether), while the gain in offense is grandiose.

Hope you're ready to spend a lot of money.

Whats up with the fleet sovy?

There isn't one anymore.

this is old news, it been removed a while back i think.

Because not removes the Fleet Heavy Escort Carrier...?!
