Federation Argos-Type Heavy Transport Shuttlecraft

Here is a new version of the Argos-Type Heavy Transport from Star Trek Nemesis. I had generated a version a few years back but I never really liked how it had come out. I made it up from scratch yesterday while sitting around with little to do while Dave was running a session where the group was dealing with a character building exercise. This version l like better than the other version.

This version I gave phasers on all sides and better shields and greater shields. I would liked to have better phaser Arrays even thought they are Type VII Phaser Arrays I would like to upgrade the shields to even better defensive systems. One of the things that I did was give it a heavy hull resistance equal to a starship level hull resistance where it should be half as much. The warp drive is uprated to allow the ship to travel between star systems quickly as a personnel transport and cargo ferry.

The weapons and shields are strong and combat capable to inflict damage on most all other craft the same size as the Argos. Never the less the crafts speed is where the crafts real defense lies in battle.
