Do the Feds really need more pulse ships?

Some have said that the Feds lack a healthy dose of pulse weapon ships. I would agree with them that the Feds could use a true mainline(cheaper than Defiant that is and first yard chassis 2) pulse weapon vessel. The best two choices off the top of my head would be the Courageous and the Tiburon.

What do you all think about this?

The Courageous as in the mod from BC? That ship is stronger then the defiant, just not as maneuverable.

I would agree that they could use some more.  Perhaps avalons could carry fighters with pulse.  Or the monsoon seems like a fair choice for pulses.

I thought the fighters did have pulses?

Fighters do have pulses. They're also avatar-specific and in the advanced shipyard.

I wasn't suggesting that it was enough to satisfy the OP, just that I thought they did have pulses.
Maybe a combat refit of the venture to make it more like the mission scout ship in insurrection? Give it a torp and pulses? Also avatar specific?

about the question: do the feds need more pulses, i dont think so. you may not be able to canav spam, but they come with ec3m for free, so you can use them in combat, and work well with sabres.

I would personally like some Fed's ships to get pulses, as in remove a weapon they already have on a few ships, and give them a pulse.

Then finally Specters will be useful vs Feds

EDIT: Actually I have no idea why I posted this cos I know people will just poop all over it. =/
Whatever, just somehow make it so Feds have pulses chassis level 1, but not in an OP way, and please, no new bloody ships, they already have enough candy lol.

yea i agree with above post

give all warpins a pulse weapon that fires once every 20 seconds, does 10 damage and the ship hull/shields is weaker than it is now... then i'll be happy


fed warpin is overpowered!

I'm kinda lost here: WHY do they need more ships with pulse weapons?
That's like demanding klingon / romulan ships with less distruptors... i really don't get it.

I agree with beserene. Pulses are mainly used by Romulans and klingons canonwise, I don't see the use for Feds having them, too. They got Phasers which always hit to get smaller targets. And they got the Canaveral already with pulses. They should be happy to not have many weapons that do decreased damage to anything but small ships(of which FO doesn't have many).

Edit: Put in the Miranda as warp in and you have pulses
