    Modified Ambassador Class

    Modified Ambassador Class

    Here is something I fussed with on Thanksgiving Day. I made modifications to the Ambassador mostly to the Phaser Array.

    This re-envisioned version of the Ambassador-class changes little in overall design with the exception of the Phasers and Warp Core. This version allows the Ambassador-class to fire multiple shot with it Phaser Arrays where the original version fired once from all the phasers. The ship now has five multiple Phaser Arrays instead of eight single shot arrays with nearly double the fire power being fire if there is enough power available. The upgrade to the warp engine is to a give the ship a touch more power to work with. Much of the ship is the same as before but I was mainly concerned with the lack of weapons fire and power generation for a combat vessel. I could also see the modifications of the shields, sensor and warp drive generating a new complete vessels but this is just an updating to the old Ambassador-class starship.

    Personally, I think that if the Enterprise-C was more like this version, the battle of Nerendra III would have turned out different. The impressive fire power could put out more fire on the Romulan Starship from a single weapons array than firing from multiple arrays. This Ambassador-class has even more ability to produce power to fire the weapons targeting the aggressive vessels. I would have increased the ships shields up to 1000 protection but maybe a future version I will upgrade the Phaser Arrays to Type IX and shields to protection 1000 and give it an armor coating.

    The Ambassador-class has retained the classic looks of the Constitution-class starships. The future version of the line of vessel would increase the vessel to a similar length version of the Galaxy-class. I would like to install the vessel with Quantum torpedoes and a faster warp drive system, even more powerful shielding and armor for a vessel circa 2390’s or 2440’s. The vessel would also have an increased crew compacity by ten to twenty percent. Of course this is a future project I have to think some more on.

    Its quite nice but I would reduce the saucer phaser arrays to three shots and give some rear phaser coverage back. The Ambassador is supposes to be the first class to have arrays verses the old phaser bank style so I cant see it having 5 shot arrays so soon.

    That's a thought but I generated the upgrades off of a hand drawn sketch I did sitting in a dinner with my girlfriend. It was just off the head then typed it up without really looking it over. In reality it is just a ruff sketch to the upgrade and when I get done with the Star Wars RPG Pre Campaign work of generating the ship into Spacedock out of the Wizard of the Cost and West Coast designs and have 95 ships converted.

    Thank you. It is one of those things that pop into your head when you least think about it. Even as a rough sketch it is still a playable vessel that if someone wanted could change the name of the class and use it. I would have called it the Franklin Class after America's Continental congress's first Ambassador, but that is just me.
