yeah defient is fun to play with so long as you are tracking your own uncloaked fleet or a uncloaked ship. I use defient as a primary destroyer of cardations. After that the only time it comes in handy is when I need the numbers for a mission and even then only if I am lucky can I use it. If however I am not then well. Usually if it aint needed I just let it die after the last cardation is dead. Another weird thing with stfc I notice is if I send a weaker ship that has basically nothing in to battle and a stronger ship it is good when its the weaker ship that cops it but not if its the strong ship. also if both get wasted then that really sucks.
