Equipment
Weaponry
Each ship comes with a fixed armament. Every Federation ship has phaser arrays and photon torpedo launchers. The number and effectiveness of each of these weapons per ship is based on the ship's primary function and when the ship was commissioned.
Outfits
Since Starfleet ships are not customizable, the way to alter your vessel's performance is to assemble the right crew. The Requisition area is where you not only restock your ship's supply of torpedos, but also where officers make themselves available to transfer to your ship. Their descriptions, rank and departments will give a general, vague idea of what their specialities, strengths and weaknesses are.
