Welcome Stu 
In essence, it's not *really* that different, but glad you enjoyed yourself Hope you come back and save the day again soon.
If your channels aren't full, feel free to join DefiantEvents or Defiant Badgers. Good way to keep up with what's happening on the server
Good to hear you enjoyed it - if your ever looking for teams I wander the defiant server alot with my SG mates and were always teaming all different levels and times
Had my first real experience on Defiant yesterday, always played on Union till now. Just wanted to say that it was an enjoyable bit of gaming. No lag compared to Union, probably easier to find a team, even being a low lvl Arrows/Devices blaster hehe
Thanks Defiant Heroes
