My targeting priority is Voyager, the Norexans, Ent-E, then Ent-D and the Defiant. The Defiant would be a real pain in the ass to kill.

Aye, same here. The E-D is about as maneouverable as a beached whale. Taking into account the many, many problems with the ship, taking it out should be no bother once the shields are breached.

That's actually why I leave her for last. I'd rather hit the E-E while I'm still relatively potent. The Ent-D is the weakest ship in the engagement aside from Voyager and while that would normally mean take her out quick she's just so weak that I'd rather save her for last and take the E-E while my ship is better off.

Ok, whatever you feel like calling the GCS.

Actually, since she'd be so weak once the shields were down, she's be the one to take out first, since she may have some problems with Warp Core breaches, but she can dish out a hell of a pounding, as she's shown against the Husnock vessel and in some other episodes...
Voyager, on the other hand, is weak, and has weak weapons when compared to the other three ships.

Yeah but Voyager is fairly nimble and has decent torpedo coverage, I wouldnt want it on my tail if I could avoid it.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Perhaps, but I don't want to save the E-E for last after taking the hits from it all fight. I'd rather knock out a few of the lightweights like Voyager and the Norexans, then kill the E-E and save the powder puff GCS for last. The Defiant I'd kill when I got the shot but I can't afford to chase it all around.

Voyager is a lot more nimble, much smaller and doesn't hit as hard as a GCS.
You would have better chances of taking care of the GCS first, since it would take out a powerful ship, which would then allow you to concentrate on the other "weak" ships, like the Norexians.
They don't hit as hard, so are less threatening then the GCS...

But, in any case, even using just the 4 Federation ships in combination vs the Scimitar means the Scimitar gets destroyed, with Voyager gone and the GCS disabled.
The Sovereign will be damaged, but still battle capable, and the Defiant should get out relatively unscathed...

You guys are thinking too simply. Remember, most ships have full weapons coverage. But you can't hit a ship in front of you with aft weapons. So you should be able to hit more than one ship at a time without losing firepower.

Sure, as long as your targets agree to file neatly into your fields of fire.

Debatable, that's assuming that said ship has power to fire all it's weapons at once. I'm not saying the Scimitar can't, but damn that thing is already sucking up the juice between it's cloak and shields and just firing weapons along a single arc.
