the best thing about the QC is the fact it uses engine power split power so ur weapons and engines have the most of the power that way the qc can fire at full power doing more dmg and ur other forward cannonc are fire at full power too.
i have 125 weapon power and 45+ to engines no counting bonus power n stuff unless u put the extra power to engines id pass on QC
but i prefer to run my escorts with QC it look so perdy
So again, the quad cannons use double the power, ten weapons power and ten engine power, and are still no where near better than the fleet weaponry... so much for being "the most powerful cannons in the game." False advertizing.

they may not be the most powerful but they can pump out some of the best DPS around my quad disruptors spit out about 281 DPS which out paces even the mk 12 dual cannon variant by a bit.

Technically speaking , this cannon was introduced much earlier -- before any Fleet weapons were in game .
Realistically -- I believe that even before the Fleet weapons were introduced into the game , these canons were proven as not the most powerful ones in game .
Take the Defiant for what it is ... -- a ship that you have to pay 3-4 times to get the best/prettiest/complete version .
If i could get the disruptor version for my Fed Breen warship that would be nice, also being limited to only one per ship....lame:mad: Right now I have the fleet DHC disruptor's the red matter console the rommie plasma buff and stacked disruptor consoles...Perhaps i'm better off as I am right now
If only there was more incentive to buying the ship I'd think about it...like taking the cloak and fitting it to the breenship? lol
I tend to buy it soon as my Tac. Capt. gets up to level to use it (lv 30). I see it a good buy since its cheaper than the Fleet purchase, the weapon levels as you level, and I get the ship skin. Plus looking at the Defiant vs the C store, it is slightly better. As it comes with an additional slot. What what I can remember from viewing it a while back. So this will help out my Capt. at lv30.
Later as I hit lv50. I plan on using the Defiant Class as my primary ship. So those cannons will be on it as well. And make a good option to use other than the Prometheus and Andorian ship I will have as well at that level. I usually try to have around 3 ships to pick from at times, and to rotate. I will keep the QCs on the Defiant since I have plans on making each ship different from each others as well.

Okay, so I've been level 50 for a while and not too long ago I saved up and bought the Sao Paulo class for the Quad Phaser Cannons [Dmgx4]; and now I recently got the Advanced Fleet Dual Heavy Cannons [Acc, Dmgx3] and I'm looking at the DPS and there is only a 1.9 difference?!?
The whole endeavor seems like a rip off now. Why would anyone bother to buy an entire ship for 1500 ZEN when 10000 Dilithium (roughly 63 Zen at 160 per) will get you a weapon with just 1.9 Damage Per Second less (out of hundreds or .3% less) with higher accuracy and a higher critical damage bonus that doesn't drain your engine power?
Quad Cannons need a major DPS increase (or SOMETHING) to be worth the expense. Am I wrong?

You are most certainly right.
When you pay for a Quad cannon the bugger had better fire, and do the damage of, 4 of something!
You should be looking at over twice the damage of the Fleet DHC...that's kind of depressing.

I was actually thinking of getting these...but after reading this thread im not so sure...but im just getting tired of DHC always being in use and I see so many people flying around using quads. yes they are phaser...but its just more insenive to use them with my andorian ships to combine with the phaser wing cannons (which are insane dmg compared to the quads -_-)
I find this line of replies sadly hilarious. We put a lot of work into the massive list of fixes/changes above, and ya'll are hung up on the ability to skip our content. =p

Mainly so they could get the ship and fly that ship. The extra weapons are just fluff.
1.9 DPS difference is about what one DMG modifier equals out to.
