Does anyone actually use the Phaser "refit" for the Federation turret? It seems rather pointless considering you have to build the base station anyway and the Pulse Phaser refit is better for ~little cost.
So, here's what I'd like to see:
- The Phaser refit is replaced with a Torpedo station that both avatars get.
- The default version (Risner) gets 2x Photon Torpedo and no Organize Defense. The offensive value is reduced compared to the current Mayson Torpedo Platform.
- Mayson replaces the Photon Torpedoes with a single Quantum Torpedo and gets Organize Defense - basically, no change from the way it is now. This goes well with his theme as he is all about guided Quantum Torps (Excelsior II).
- The range for the Pulse Phaser refit is reduced and the offensive value increased a bit.
- Another possibility is to keep the pure Phaser station and do the previous changes. That way the Feds would have a short / medium (Pulse Phaser), long (Phaser), and Artillery (Torpedo) range defensive grid.
