It sounds like you enjoy it, which is always good to hear. Let me ask you, have you used any of the "OG" Pilot Escorts, and if so, how does it compare to them? Obviously losing CMDR spec capability will sting some, but sometimes it can be worth it if the ship otherwise scratches some particular itch.
Thanks for the writeup!

I haven't had the chance to fly any of the other pilot escorts yet personally. I'm actually relatively recently getting back into the game after a long time out, even though I've played since launch, so I never got around to trying the specialized ships like this until now. The abilities I have had a chance to mess around with are Intelligence and Temporal Agent, and now Miracle Worker and Pilot. The pilot bridge officer abilities seem a bit niche, but I've been using Pilot Team and enjoying that well enough so far. Miracle Worker seems to have room for a few useful options, even though the seat is only a Lieutenant seat. I'm not sure how that compares to having a Command seat, but I do like it!
I've always preferred flying escorts in general the entire time I've played. Way back years ago though, I did also play around with a carrier and found that pretty fun too. I haven't gotten a chance to try a strike wing escort yet, but the Rex's wingmates are great and kind of carrier-like. So for me, it fills a nice spot of giving a nimble, speedy escort that also has some pets and more survivability.
Thanks for reading!

Nice read! I'm glad you like the ship. Ever since they introduced the Jem'Hadar to the game, I've always been fond of the ships. My Jem'Hadar toon flies the Vanguard Warships, and it's a very fun and powerful ship to pilot.
If I were you, I would focus on Command and Miracle Worker and leave Pilot until last. It's indeed a fun ship, but apart from mastering it, I haven't used it much myself yet.

Keval,
So far I feel there are two things Pilot ships do well. 1) Trigger the Cold-Hearted trait without using A2B build (this might not apply to you if youu don't have access to that Trait). 2) If you want to try a single-target build, Reroute Reserves to Weapons can feel like a real buzzsaw, if you make sure your Engine power stays high enough to use it. I'm trying that one these days on a Legendary Bugship, and it's pretty fun.
If you want to try more Miracle Worker, in an Escort package, may I recommend the DaVinci (T6 Saber)? Fun in a beautiful design (I like the classic Saber, and the refit Gladius looks myself).
Jestersmith, excellent taste in ships! I do love the JHV Warship. It's the ride of choice for my main Jem'Hadar character.

Thank you for the input and recommendations! I'm hoping to complete the event campaign that's going on to get my hands on the prizes and try out some other ships too. It'll be a while yet before that can be completed, but I'll definitely keep these in mind!

My main, ZenMasterChip likes his Miracle Worker Escort picked up early in the game because he returned to STO wanting to buzz around in a little escort and explore how tough it could be if someone loved it enough to deck it out with anything that glitters. This ship falls into the same category as an Escort, and by your description, it appears to be the kind of ship Master Zen would like! Since he (ok, enough of that...) I like flying my little buzz bomb, and, being reasonably early in gameplay, shoved all my best into it as I got it. aka a mishmash of stuff, but a beam boat. Loads of fun and zippy. Because of this article, I am looking forward to throwing all my junk into this ship, or at least as much as will fit and also let me use what came with it; I will do that as soon as the current event is over so I can try it out on a few patrols. I expect I will enjoy the Rex very much! I love being the wingman!
So far, my game plan is to fly any ship that let's me become little fly that posters and irritates the big ships and makes them want to swat me. I love to irritate the heck out of the enemy! :-) So far, so Good. I don't know if my ship build is any good; but, I only died once in the last week! Woo Hoo :-) I see advanced gameplay around the corner!
