Well ok taking part in Mirror Mirror has now given me the chance to fly a few fed ships and in the last three days I have spent more time in a fed Captains Chair then I did in 6 years of ladder matches..
OBSERVATIONS..
Fed ships turn like Garbage Scows
Fed ships might not be able to HET
Fed ships have limited transporters
Fed ships have SLOW ass loading times
Now all that is offset by a very nice CRUNCH punch when you do a close range alpa strike.
Bottom Line....
When do I get back in my D5L?

(drones -- drones -- we dont need no stinking drones were flying FED {Crew looks at the captain with terror in their eyes..})
*shakes his finger slowly*
Think about this next time you hear a non-fed pilot bashing fed pilots.
Grrrr. *holds in long withheld evil rant!* :rant:
Many Feds would really miss the photon crunch power -- and would learn to adjust their flying style to "saber dance" ..etc etc

But FED pilots choose this. WE were DRAFTED!!!.:popcorn:
ROFL -- I could write a whole page on every races strong and weak points (well maybe not a page on ISC weak points) -- I think what makes the Klingon vs FED matchup the "classic matchup" ..is that Fed strongpoints balance the Klingon weakpoints -- etc .....

Not trying to create a debate here just commenting on what this old warrior misses with his ships.

*lashes out with Force lightning* KZZOT! Get back in that CC+ and move that phaser capacitor like your life depended on it!!
:P
Interesting -- I considered the CC+ over the CF myself -- but figured the cf was more of a klingon style ship == however I was wondering if the old CC+ cant use its extra photons to beat a CF == mind you it would have to castle to do to it --
Interesting debate to hear what old fed players would say on this topic..

CC+? I'm in a F-DDL+ you insensitive clod!:popcorn:
Yep Paladin, that was me. And while I love the H-THR I'm not a big fan of the F-CF. I'll keep the Majestik Moose. I like the two extra photons. ;)
Fed ships turn like Garbage ScowsNah, Fed ships are nimble.

Fed ships have limited transporters

(PS: The Gorn War Department would like to purchase a few of those BCJ thingys, OK? )

Capt Jeff offered:Yousa weirdo! :P
Have as many New Jersey's are you want......worst of the four BCH's (yes, I would rather fly a Excelsior)
mmmmm BCF . . .
F torp, no holding cost.
Who'd trade a photon for an F torp? Personally, I think you guys are just jealous of my big plasma launcher.

I knew there was a real pilot out there somewhere. Flown correctly the DDL+ is one of the best Fed buddy ships in the early Mid Era.

Lets see, at range 5 it does more than an OL Photon,
at range 10 it does one less than an OL Photon (and can hit at range 10),Quote
See notes on range 5. At range 10, you aren't going to hit anything that hasn't decided it wants to be hit. (Which can happen, since the target knows you are going to take a while in reloading.) And if he really has decided he wants to be hit, maybe you should wait for him to finish closing to a lot less than 10.QuoteThe only advantage to the Photon is faster arming and range on the Proxies.
And the ability to hit a departing target, and the ability to hit a target regardless of his speed, and the ability to hit when a weasel is out. And the ability to (seldom) hit without a lock.

Only on a stationary target. At range 5, it often ends up doing zero damage to target.Quoteat range 10 it does one less than an OL Photon (and can hit at range 10),Quote

If you already have 4 photons, you'd be happy to take the F-torps.
If all you have is plasma, you'd kill for some photons.
Seems simple enough to me.
