Encounters: TNG & DS9 Eras
Burton was right, the Galaxy class doesn’t handle quite as well as the Constitution class but the firepower is impressive. The Defiant has Klingon-style targeting in that you have to manually aim but the pulse cannons are so powerful you don’t mind. This doesn’t quite line up with cannon as the pulse cannons are forward-only with regular phasers covering the rest of the firing radius but I think this is one of those compromises against cannon that make the game more fun.
In the first DS9 mission you’re told to stay cloaked and avoid patrols, instead I just challenged every ship I saw, destroying them AND their reinforcements. TNG & DS9 both do fine jobs sticking to cannon.
