It seems like my defiant is doing more damage then my Jem attack ship with same set up?? any ideas? Same weapons, same layout.....no clue why

A small part might be the damage buff after un-cloaking

this has been during STF's with no cloak being used.don't use the console slot in stf's

Both weapons power levels are set right? Just trying to cover the bases, people forget to set their power levels all the time when they get a new ship.

The Defiant and the Bug (and the Fleet Multi Vector for that matter, to a slightly lesser degree) do the same damage under the same setup.

What makes the Bug different is its survivability, maneuverability, and more ideal boff setup. The Damage potential for both ships is the same.
