I stick with the phaser cannons...but when I get my Defiant, I'll buy me some new ones.
Participating in the warzones ensure a nice Dilithium income.
Played some take and hold map yesterday, although we lost, it was real fun.
The Klinks always prowled the map in a huge pack, with one lone wolve scouting ahead, while my fellow feds were more like...bears, each fighting for himself.
At the end I bonded with a science cruiser, but it was too late.

Holy crap, I'm just reading about all these ship classes and wonder, if tactical officer ging for the promtheus or fleet escort was the best idea...

In all honesty, most team combat gets bogged down in a lack of DPS in my experience (ever tried an STF with all cruisers?), and nothing quite delivers DPS like a high-end escort and a Tactical captain.

I'm hoping the Odyssey gets at least a new costume for more visual customization, I don't like how it looks now. Though it isn't a bad ship to fly.

I'll be honest, I didn't like the Ody at  first, but I pulled her out after I set my Soverign up with a full array of AP and Quantum weapons, MACO Mk X equipement(I'm too lazy to work the STFs for MK XI), she's not a bad ship, once you get her some equipment.  Though she is squashy until you get something going(Borg is great).

You'll find yourself looking at beam arrays when you hit the 4 nacelle beasts in 6 levels, they just don't handle like the smaller ships.

And after that, the Galaxy-class handles like a slug. Oddly enough, after that, I feel that the assault cruiser handles nicely, for a cruiser.

[NGTM-1R]

I have fitted my Sovereign with enough RCS that it actually turns decently. Which was probably stupid.

Its turn rate is actually higher than the Explorer's, so that would explain that feeling.

At least one console wouldn't hurt, I think.

[NGTM-1R]

I have two, at least. Might be more, I'd have to look.

Worked my science officer up to captain with an Intrepid, which was pretty cool. Nice abilities, packed into a ship with reasonable maneuverability, great shielding, and generally nice to fly. Plus, I've got to say the Intrepid has a special place in my heart. Variable geometry nacelles are awesome.

But then, I started a tactical captain. Right now, I'm flying a Defiant-class armed with three dual heavy phaser cannons, a quantum torpedo launcher, and two phaser turrets. The forward firepower of this thing is so intense, it'd make Admieral Piett proud. Now, I'm finding it really hard to go back to leveling my science captain.

I know the feeling, I can't go back to my engineering officer now.

[crizza]

Made it to Captain last night, finally have my Defiant...
Outzfitted it with four double phaser cannons or were it heavy dual cannons?
Don't know, but while trying to get on the same map as uh...guess it was Luna, I realized that this thing has quite a punch.
Downside: My tactical officers are crap, the skills are bugged, so I guess I'll drop them as soon as I get new ones and skill them from the beginning.*sigh*

[Darius]

I got my Star Cruiser...I can die happy now.

I don't care how well they perform, they just look bloody awesome.

[SpardaSon21]

You guys are making me feel weak.  I just have a Lt. Commander Tactical Officer.

[Enzo03]

I just started last night.  Made 2 accounts, one to dick around with and learn the game and another to put forth a semi serious effort.

Can't wait to work up to get a Defiant - it was my favorite ship in a Starfleet Command 2 mod that threw in bunches and bunches of various canonical ships.

Of course, this is no Starfleet Command 2

[crizza]

My Officers realy worry me...but it is nice to put a torpedo heay yield 1 and 3 out short aftzer each other, when I stripped the target of its shield with rapid fire from four dual heavy cannons

BTW Darius: I could only add you after i removed the 0 behind your nick...

[Scotty]

Broke down and made an account.  Cruising around in my little podunk whatever I started with as an Engineering officer, having entirely too much fun torpedo boating around with my pair of forward launchers and a disruptor turret in the back.

What about SFC3? That one definitely had the Defiant, and lots of Borg to shoot at.

[General Battuta]

Yeah but it was bad

If I can't slap a tractor on some ratprick and pop scatterpacks while hiding under a two-point ECM shift it's not really SFC damn it

I have almost the opposite problem. Escorts are cool and all, but if I can't soak damage from 3-4 Klinks jumping me in a warzone until all of them give up in frustration and go away, I just feel vulnerable. Cruisers are so much fun. Plus I like to think mine puts out some pretty respectable damage when I have the chance.
