RE: Escorts and frigates

I just started playing an I have found escorts to be a fairly good option.
they deal with pirates easy enough and let me send of my actual fleets without really worrying about leaving my home systems completely undefended.
true... they are weak but their cost is so low I don't really notice it.
true... an enemy raid can take out 10 of them like its nothing but I just que up another 10 to replace them. Letting my escorts harass enemy ships gives me more time to get my fleet there and stops anything IMPORTANT or EXPENSIVE from getting trashed.
ALL of my escorts are just set to AI control, its kinda fun to watch them fly about.
