Defaint class

because it was the defiant that had the cloak in ds9, i think i may see  your point why not somthing small, idk but the cloak fits defiant i think, and think about it, you come with your romulan allies for an attack, and your defiants drop out of cloak, fire there weapon disrupter thingys and then the romulans do there special thing and you can wreak havok

the defiant class had nevah a cloak ... exept the one the U.S.S. Defiant did get from the romulans just for a scout flight in dominion space. And this Ship got destroyed in the Dominonwar and replaced by the defiant-class ship U.S.S. Sau Paulo , which got renamed. So there is no defiant-class ship left that has a cloak.

OK but in the fleet ops universe when your allies are the romulans, doesn't it make sense that they would share they're cloaks with the feds, or alternately your enemies with the romulans and you steal the cloak but only find it compatible with the defiant.

I think that the defiant should have all her 4 pulse phasers in FO as well. Nerf them for balance issues but I think they will look a lot cooler with 4 pulse phasers firing instead of 2

It does, zoom in on the ship when firing. It has two weapons but each one appears as two.

That's just the sprite not the number of pulse phasers. The pulse phasers use one hardpoint each. That's why the armament reads 2x pulse phaser and not 4x pulse phaser. When you reach rank four you get quantums. The quanutms use the same hardpoints as the pulse phasers so you have 2x pulse phaser and 2x quantum.

Actually, I think I got that wrong. I think I mistook it for the Defiant from my stock game.

Even so, if it was like that it should still read 4x because 2 weapons that each use a sprite showing 2 shots are technically 4 shots.

What makes me a bit sad is that the defiant is so weak. I love her for rapid attacks against Cubes or Stations with their special abillity it's the perfect fleet to send in before taking everything out with you phalanx ships. Butfor this tasks, the Defiant is definitly to weak on shields and she could even use some extra points in attack.

The Defiants shields are actualy not that strong, she does however have ablative armor, i think if that was implemented into the game, then that could make her stronger but stay iun balance.
