The advantages of the defiant are nullified if you don't PvP such as turn rate, cloak attacks with 5 tac consoles, tighter turning circles.
You're fine with the Charal.
the charal turns pretty well and can easily keep enemies in its front arc. charal doesnt get 5 tac consoles, but the difference between 4 and 5 isnt that major, since tac consoles boost the BASE damage of the weapon only, and not overall damage.
