Defiant Class

posted on October 4th, 2004, 5:24 am

hi,

i think the defiant should have 2 quantum torpedo's as in the series, this would also be a balance fix since I think the feds are a bit weak in the offensive, the strong classes that can survive longer in a fight take ages to move across the map, the defiant is a ship a tad faster than the larger ships but they are easily destroyed and the pulse phaser takes to long to reload

perhaps instead of the quantum torpedo's add ablative armor wich has a, say, 15% chance of reflecting an attack

don't know what do you guys think?

the special quantum torpedos are present in fleetops as the critical shot ability

true, but they take to much energy

It is ok now I think

The answer is obvious ... decrease the recharge rate of the PPCs! They're useless against large ships anyway, so why not blow away enemy destroyers like there's no tomorrow? And yeah decrease energy usage on the critical shot and lengthen disable time to at least 10 sec. It is an awfully expensive ship, so why not get some bang for the buck?

Don't worry don't worry, I hear it will be fixed in V3. Everyone always concerned with the super ships

thats because the defiant needs to be shown in it's true power!!

just like you dang romulans have this uber destroyer with its damned upgrades and refits, the feds should have the uber defiant

The Defiant is a screwed up design. It's pretty ugly, small and shouldn't be able to power it's guns with a 4 deck tall warp core. Thats just me tho

actually according to ex astris scientia and others warp core size is more for sheilds and warp propulsion than weapon power, also the PPCs are mounted directly on the nacelles so very high efficiency. In fact on a Sovereign I think about 2% of the warp capacity is used for full weapons fire, so really the warp size doesn't matter, it's more what you have room to mount on the spaceframe and EPS tubing from the core. So no whining!

Hey Doca Cola what in the world is in your signature? It looks rather traumatic, whatever it is : )
