What about main deflectors?
Son of Technobabble:
Umm yeah we also saw an intrepid beat a borg cube... not everything in the show can be added to a game. If it could, the show would suck

I am not talking about using it as a heavy weapon. But we see in the series that the ships doesnīt have any problems to fire a tachyon or antitachyon pulse or another beam. We could use it just to prevent warp without damaging or to create some distortion to lower shields. And i remember the Enterprise in the series using its deflector against the borg. Sorry but i donīt remember the episode.

As I see it, the deflector is what's going to be used if all else fails. And it's such a wondrous piece of technology that can be converted to do ANYTHING: From detecting cloaked ships to emitting anti-graviton pusles, to opening trans-warp fields to firing weapons etc etc etc. I never really understood what the deflector was NORMALLY SUPPOSED to do, besides being a tool (for the scriptwriter) to use when everything else failed and doom was imminent.
By the way, do other races have delfectors? Or are we talking about adding more capabilities to Fed ships? (I understand that they need more stuff, they are terribly weak as it is right now)

Isn't it there to deflect micro-debris from the ship's path?

Do you reeeeeeaaallllly want to turn the game into the TV show?
Think about that for a minute.
MarianoDT:
Ok, i donīt reeeealy want, but you must accept that there are a lot of interesting stuff in the series. Didnīt you never wanted to target your own photon torpedo with a phaser and make them blow to damage a nearby ship?
I think this is the kind of stuff that will make the game more fun.
