Defaint class

is it only me or does the big slow galaxy class turn faster and move faster than a small fast defaint class ship(which seems to act like a battlecruiser or something) ?

im just curios if it only looks so or if this is intended

Most likely intentional for balance reasons. The same as the Defiant costing alot and building slowly, which is the complete opposite of canon but balanced. Speaking of the Defiant, why does it have a crew of 80? The crew was about 40-50.

If it a had a crew of 40-50 it was a easy assmilate target for the Borg.

And an additional 30 is much better protection?

I think the weapons of the Defiant class are a little big weak. Whats about  quantum torpedoes?

It gets Quantum Torpedoes when it reaches level 4.

1 gold bar, 1 silver bar. Do you know about the rank system?

I don't know. What is the rank system?
Can you tell me how to use it in the game.

Opposite of canon? I believe it's cost and build-time was never mentioned in the show...

Are you implying that a tiny midget of a ship could take longer to build than an enormous dreadnought?

There's canon, and then there's balance. This is for balance reasons.

If the defiant costed a small amount and built exceptionally quick people would just spam them and the feds would be horribly unbalanced.

EDIT - And you're whining about THIS being canon when you want entirely non-canon repainted romulan wannabees in the game?

Did you my previous posts? One said the following:

Hardly whining about the cost, is it?

And the Romulans are Vulcan wanabees, same as the Mintakan's.
