    First time I saw this video, "The changing face of evil" had yet to be shown where I live...

    Seeing the defiant destroyed... Horrible back then.

    The video was originally on a page called "Maximumdefiant", a site dedicated to the ship... You had to download it through a ISDN connection to even see it...

    Frack this!
    This video is unavailable
    Unfortunately, this SME-music-content is not available in Germany because GEMA has not granted the respective music publishing rights.

    Is the ISDN version still available? GEMA and youtube need to get their sh*t together...

    Hell yeah man what he said, excellent video.

    I absolutely cannot wait to make Captain this weekend and buy me a 'Sao Paulo' class starship and start tearing into some Reman as@#$le!


    :D

    Just got the San Paulo!!! Wonderful ship, but it's a Defiant! No cloak! C'mon!

    And it's so tiny..... But when I zoom in, it's too big.... But overall, great ship!:D

    Well... It is after all a Tier 4 ship... If you want a cloak (wich you will remove anyways), you will need the Defiant retrofit.

    Also: name one thing in STO that isnt oversized.

    If you use the quad canon (which is phaser based) make sure all your other weapon are also phaser.
    Dual heavy canons and dual beam array. (turrets or beams in the trunk)

    And of course don't forget 3 phaser relay consoles!

    Remove the cloak? Surly you jest. I've been using it for several weeks in STFs, and that 15% DMG boost is a tactical nuke when you drop it.:)

    You probably have only the T4 variant... If you want a cloak, you need to rank up to T5, and start opening your vallet.

    Flying my Defiant is/was the only thing that I truely loved in STO. It was almost as good as flying it in SFC3.

    So let me get this right -

    If I want to have a "Defiant looking, cannons blazing, just like TV", version of the Defiant, I can -

    Get the retrofit (which I have), get the Sao and then take the cannons off this?

    What else would I need to do to get the "effect"? Not bothered about dmg or gimping etc, just want the look.

    Can you help please m8?

    Cheers.

    Yes, The quads even have the same ping-ping sound as the canon cannons(ugh did I just make a bad pun) my weapon loadout is forward-quad cannons,2x Dual heavy phaser cannons(borg)1 Quantum torpedo(borg) Aft I use 3x phaser turrets(borg). The quads only do 198 Dmg, but 360 dps so they still pack a decent punch(dont quote me on the quads numbers..its close, but Im not logged in on it..and I havent had my coffee yet.) In my opinion, they dont hit as hard as the heavys, but they shoot more, and faster, which compensates for it.I still use the quads in endgame, and I still chew up borg and spit them out.Im sure others would dissagree with my choice of weapons for maximum punishment, but I want the DS-9 Defiant feel.It gets the job done.

    You are da man m8.

    Cheers.

    I cannot believe I am going to do this but I am going to trade in my C-store points that I have had for donkey years and actually get something.

    Hmmm, do all my other hate filled, negative posts now make a massive hypocrite:(

    Probably... But think of it this way... Kids look to their parents to see how to behave... STO wise this is no diffrent.

    The Tier 4 variant does not have the cloak... Remember, only the defiant, and not the Defiant class itself had a cloak in the series.

    This is reflected into the game.

    Indeed. And the Sao Paulo takes that Up To Eleven, including a very Badass Hull Shape. :D

    Just remember this when you think that STO and its lockbox and C-Store scheme will fail:

    Even you bought something from them.

    But to be fair - if you already did this a while ago, you were either already a hypocrite before, or you saw the errors of your ways only later.
