i noticed on v2 that the defiant has the same turning and acceleration rate as the other battle ships. i thought the defiant was supposed to be a small, quick & very agile ship. should it not have the same physics as the saber/monsoon classes???

also posted new weapon for the defiant maybe linked to this in "weapon idea" :shuriken:

No it's not really that fast.

but he's right defiant should be agile, not extremelly fast but agile

why? what is the use of being agile? to doge phasers? well phasers lock on ships and don't miss

dodging torpedoes can really do your health wonders

and i meant fast as in impulse speed, but that does bring up the question of warp.....where is it????

Defiant isn't very agile, or very speedy.

Hm, not agile? Ever watched DS9?

Every chance I get, but essentially, if you put every ship at full speed, they all turn at about the same speed. Nothing special with defiant.

the defiant is already declared as a medium sized vessel, which gives it some chance to avoid torpedos besides that its movement speed got slightly improved in v3. I hope everybody is happy with that ^_^

Well Optec I appreciate us getting them, since I chose to believe you have them planned. You could have said that awhile ago though.
