Hi Shaun, That is true. Defiant depends heavily on it's foward pulse phasers to destroy or damage enemy vessels. However, there is a disadvantage with the Defiant's pulse phasers. The standard Type X phaser has a range of 300000 KM where the Defiant's phasers have a max range of 150000 KM. However, short on range the pulse phaser has a heavier punch. As for cloaking devices you have a very good point. That is one reason I would like to drop Defiant out of STFC 2. It is cool playing with, but is very very tricky to program around since there is no way for the game to keep track of the ship while it is invisible. If enemy ships are also cloaked it is difficult to set a trigger to have you find them unless you show them up as a sensor emmission that would only happen if they are traveling over warp 6.
