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! 
Oh yes, put out by ADB but ONLY as "Conjectural" as in Fed development designed them but they were never implemented...
Just imagine a flotilla of PF's with P-1 and photons, each one bascially a miniature FF/FFG (cant remember if they had drone racks or not)
DH is talking to someone (cant remember who) about running a server with the Fred PF's on it! <drool> A REAL Fred SCS! Fighters AND PF's! 'Scuse me, I gotta run to the bathroom for some alone time!
AJTK correction post:
1. Feds got gatling phasers from the only ship in the expedition that "reached" fed space, which IIRC was a Knight DD. It was a destroyed hulk in the neutral zone. However the gatlings were intact and they salvaged the design. The Kingdom got nothing. This is why gatling designs show up fairly late, because it was after the failed expedition.
2. The Gorn never operated federation ships. Their carrier designs are based off of their own hulls, mainly the BC hull for the CV (the largest gorn carrier in service until the BCS). Gorn however couldn't fit into single space sized fighters due to their size, so they used Skolean mercenaries (a federation world) to pilot their fighters. It is true that mostly the gorn operated federation fighters, and made plasma torps available to the federation in return (so to speak). Though the Gorn got many more fighters than the feds got plasma launchers. It should also be noted that the Gorn preferred different fighter designs than the feds used when they could get them from the feds (IE, the G-12 instead of the G-18 (F-18)). They did operate their own heavy fighters (2 space shuttles) of their own design, the G-30 and G-32. At no time did the gorn ever use drones on their carriers; Gorn fighters are armed with Plasma-F (BTW, for those that don't know, from the earliest versions of SFB, the F in plasma F stands for fighter - it was one of the original fighter weapons), Plasma-D, and Plasma-K. Heavy assault fighters (G-10, gorn version of the A-10) are armed with the plasma-F, while the dogfight type series (G-18, G-20, G-12) are armed with plasma-D and plasma-K.
3. As noted, federation PFs are conjectural. In module K, it notes that the federation never even considered them, no came up with a design. However, it speculates that if they had it would have looked similar to kzin PFs and they would have looked like XXX, etc. Federation instead operated heavy fighters, specifically the A-20 and F-111. The feds do have an SCS, and it's in the shiplist already (though without the correct fighter wing that made it what it is). The fed SCS had 12 F-14, 12 F-18, and 6 A-20 fighters (IE, 36 spaces of them). The A-20 was armed with photons while the F-111 was armed with drones; however, the F-111 had a bomb bay that could carry multiple configurations of weapons (drones, T-Bombs, ECM pods, etc). Both are very dangerous, though not as dangerous as a PF.
Edit: FYI, the movers are coming tomarrow for me, so I'll be gone for a bit until everything is completed. Don't start any interesting flame fests after saturday until I return
