Hi David, Actually, there are three different types of phasers in the Trek game. Older classes such as the Excelsior-Class Explorer have a type 8 phaser which only does about half the damage of the type 10. The newer classes like the Sovereign-Class and Intrepid-Class carry the type 10 which does double the damage of the type 8. Then, you have the type pulse phaser which doesn't have the range of the 8 and 10, but does considerably more damage in combat. As for the cloak the Defiant has it, and that is why I listed stealth as a specialty. Perhaps I should reword from stealth to can cloak, or something like that. As far as pointing out hard core shield power I do think Phil was right in saying that comparing specific stats like that could get confusing for non-techy types who want to only know if it is good or not. For example a shield rating of 2202 and 2302 are both pretty good and we are only talking 100 units of power. Not much of an advantage in a fight except it might ward off one extra disruptor shot. In that way I can just say they are both better than average or above average and be done with it. Smile.
