I would not be happy in an escort, they're TOO stupidly powerful

With a engineer in a Escort with a Engineer build and a engineers play style there FUN LOL

You do about 2X maybe times the damage as a cruiser maybe more but less than a dedicated escort with your beams and your very confusing to other players who see 6 beams comming from your defiant and maybe 1 torp

so instead of spending all your time trying to line up cannons your watching shields and the battle using broadsides, you dont die like the other escorts because of your engineering skills and movement and battlefield awareness

Its fun try it

I have a tac/scort and I despise it, i hate the damage output, I hate the play style and I hate the lacking survivability

Put your Tac I'n the Galaxy class and have some fun then

I did it made all the difference I'n that ship

The heavy engineering Boffs help you survive
The Tac skills give you maneuverability and
Damage

Oh yeah, which is why I maintain that tacs are overpowered, they can make slow cruisers that deal laughable damage into something worth having, which also annoys me, why shouldn't engineers power management skills do the same damn thing?
