I have now, when will pugs learn, HAVE ONE TYPE OF WEAPON!!!!!!!

On my Fleet Patrol Escort, I run nothing but Plasma weapons, in fact my whole build is based my use of Plasma weapons. All my tactical consoles are geared towards my weapon type,so are 2 of my engineering consoles. I've count damage markers of between 800-1200 damage markers from my dual heavy plasma cannons alone, my torps have even scored hits of 6k and a heavy plasma torp registering 16k of damage.

If you build a ship right, you should have no problems.
I also run the full borg set on it
