How to change the weapons on Defiant-class?

How can I change the weapons of the defiant class to be more like in the tv show? What files must be "adjusted" to be more similar? I would like to have 4 torpedo lauchers and 2 phasers.

Wrong weapons; it has 4 Pulse Phasers, at least 2 Phasers and about 3 Torpedo launchers (2 fore, 1 aft).

Change the sprite entry in the Defiant's Pulse Phaser weapon odf's to the same dual sprite used by the Pulse Turret. It already has all the torps it needs, it gets 2 launchers at the first officer rank, before that the Critical shot happens to be 2 (presumably modified) Quantum torps.

Memory alpha says it has a total of 4: 2 fore, 2 aft. Well it says it has 4 one place and 6 another so i guess it can have however many you want. However I dont remember the aft ones from the show.

Sisko told Kira to fire aft torpedoes once, but all we saw of them is her pressing the button. I think it was when Defiant rescued Odo and Garak from the failed Tal Shiar/Obsidian Order attack.

I generally assume it only has one at the back because it isn't often they'd be needed, since the thing usually faces towards the target rather than away from it.

your correct, i watched the episode not to long ago.

and the defiant-class is a warship, it has a good amount of weapons whether they be in the front and/or back

Also in the episode where the Defiant does battle with the Lakota, Defiant is shown firing a aft torpedo I belive.

And how can I get a cloaking system like the romulan ones onboard? I know that the Defiant has one cause of a special aggrement to the fleet from the side of the romulans. And cause of no cloaking system on side of the federation it would be nice to have the definat class equipped with it.

Check the Federation/Romulan mixed-tech Defiant. That one is equipt with a Romulan-level Cloak.

if your playing single player instant action you can hit enter and type levelup and then hit enter and you will have leveled up the ships you have selected by one rank.

I personally can't also recommend to give it four pulse phasers.
It looks better than just a dual-sprite, but it overpowers the vessel extremely. I've tested it once, and... I had a lot defiants to choose veterans from and I soon had no enemies left <.<

How does 4 Pulse Phasers look better than dual sprite? 4 pulses all going in seperate directions instead of sticking together in 2s.

The single sprite four times more suits my personal taste than a dual sprite two times... that's all.
