I had the fleet adv escort, mostly for the science slot for grav well. Not sure of the slots on the others, but at least for NWS, grav well helps. in ISA it helps also.

I don't fly it as much anymore, but I have the retrofit. I loved the look mostly and the cloak is fun. It's a tough little ship.

In order of preference and why:
- Fleet Patrol Escort. Wins because of best BO layout. Very tough. Very ugly tough.
- Fleet Advanced Escort. Very fun with the MVAM console. Best turn rate.
- Fleet Tac Escort. Nothing to say since it has nothing special except best looker of the three.

They are all really good ships. I loved flying them all!
But with all the new T6s coming in along with newer command ships and T6 fleet ships, please keep in mind that T5-Us will quickly be outclassed.

That is true, but you don't need T6 ships to play the game.
And then there's the money. At $30 a ship they are very expensive and I wonder how much the fleet versions will cost. More than the T5 Fleet ships, that is for sure.

Do you already have the fleet modules for a fleet ship?
are you a lifetime subscriber?
