would be nice tom. I also like defient and its highpulse cannons but the fact I have prity no missiles does still make me choose enterprise e, I'd also like defient, however its dificult to judge since in stfc1 if you lose shields you are basically dead. And I don't think defient has armour anyway. Sure its faster I'll grant you that. But in stfc1 you don't have auxiliry power. You just have main.
