Agreed, that is why you fire plasma AND drones at them with the F-BCF or F-NAL (which is actually quite a nice ship, is there a CL version of that? ie with .67 move rate?)

Nope.

Nope.

Even if there was, I wouldn't fly it. I can't imagine an NAL (a ship that I flew alot on LB5) without the third warp (an NCL with plasma) working very well. Feel free to correct if I'm wrong

You wouldn't fly a F-CLC with 2 photon & 2 plasma F's?

[SSCF-LeRoy]

I may just do a shiplist mod of that and see how it works...

[FPF-DieHard]

The 4 Photons are more useful.

If you're closing in? Having something to suck up phaser fire will help reduce damage to you IMO.

[FPF-DieHard]

Depends on who you are fighting.  4 Proxies are much more useful than 2 for the distance game.

As far as getting up close and personal goes (klingons), leave the CLC at home.

F torps!!  You're getting excited over F torps.   Please.

You Feds need to learn how to use your own weapons, and not the ones you ripped off from other races.   Sure the F torp may be good for increasing your alpha on an AI mission, but you won't get close with that thing vs a player.    Well, not unless they are a starcastling twit. 

For those Feds that fly their traditional photon/phaser/drone ships, I salute you.

LMAO!! 

[SSCF-LeRoy]

DH is right; the ability to fire four proxies would be much more useful. Outside of short range, NALs and CLCs w/plasma would be all but useless. Now if one could somehow shoehorn in a couple plasma S in place of the F's...maybe with the addition of turret arcs...

Ya might as well fly Bruce sonny!

Well, I am somewhat partial to the BF...

Don't let Kroma hear you say that!!

He's been looking for a new "cabinboy"

*Digs out the keys to the F-BCF*

No plasma, hm? We'll see about that...

hmmm would we even see the fred BCF? that ship was at the romulan border I thought. not a sfc trekke here but had plenty of discusions on the bfc, should'nt the freds be flying the BCG instead?(better ship IMHO) or the freds addicted to two plasma F's?

No idea if a F-BCF was ever assigned to the klink front... but I feel it makes the ship more versitile and dangerous.

Besides, I like being in close when I can...

Let's examine this post in detail, shall we...

Something tells me the "F" in F-torp means built by Feds, just like the "R" stands for Romulan and "G" stands for Gorn...
Silly Feds, they think they invented everything...

Saluting "Real" Feds in Photon / Drone / Phaser boats:  Are you sure you want to salute silly Mirak-wanna-be's that fly Fed Drone ships?  I view a real Fed ship as one who's heavy weapon is predominately the Photon Torpedo, even though it may have a few, maybe even a lot, of drones...

And you Gorn being "real plasma chuckers", that's a laugh.  It is a well-known fact that you need a trick to make plasma effective, like the Romulan Cloak or the PPD, in order to get the Plasma to hit.  Otherwise, you're just a big "plasma hucker", as you huck the plasma, praying that you've got enough distance on the throw to make it hit...

[SSCF-LeRoy]

Speakin' of Fed plasma ships, I was muckin' around on a sparcely populated stock EAW server a couple years back (in those days I didn't know about any of the forums and opperated under the handle "Douglas"), and through a client-side shiplist tweak I managed to replace my F-DNF's PlasF with a PlasR. Then on the maiden voyage, a planet assault, I crashed the ship into a planet, the first time I hit any sorta rock I guess that's what I git fer cheatin'

[FPF-AJTK]

Agave, I agree with you, I dont fly BCF (Rather have the 2 more drone racks for SPs on the BCG) or the NAL (Dont fly any warcrusier/new heavy) as the shield regen rates suck.

As for YOU, Julin da Frog, you guys stole the Plasma S AND plas F, all you guys ever invented was the PPD, I.E. "The Ronco CheeseWhiz Dispenser?" 

The Freds use all types of weapons as they fight all the types of weapons, basic SFB history. And yes, the BCG was Klink front, BCF was Romulan front.  Kinda would make sense to reverse that tho eh? Klink AMD wont stop a F, and most rommies dont have Plasd-D to stop drones, but thats not how they were operated.

Just a brief SFB history reminder, the Freds got Phas-G from the Hydrans in exchange for help during the General War, and the Gorn traded Plas-F for Federation Ships and FIGHTERS! Yes, thats right sports fans, in SFB, the Gorns had Fed CVL's (IIRC the ones made from GSC) and F-18 fighters.

Fed drone fighters and PF's with plasmas... Ummm, get me some crackers for all this cheese!

Hey Diehard, lets see if we can bribe J'inn into putting those "Conjectural" Fed PF's into GW3!
