Well i think that the HEC it's a great value regarding multirole fun, the hangar really adds a layer of complexity. I most drive carriers which have different roles than the HEC, I really think the HEC is really an escort and should be mostly played like that, think of it like an archer that can lure/stop/heal while carriers have to rely more heavily on pets to do dps.
I really find the higher turn rate the harder to control while flying, and stoping to fire feels like being a turret platform. I have used the fed Lv40 escort and while having uber dps is fun, having to stop to fire effectively its a huge turn off for me, specially when fighting a big hp mob where I'm gonna steal aggro.
For PvP I would go FHEC since the tractor beams from runabouts have the KDF swearing "WTF!"
PS: I really dislike the looks of the Defiant
