Yesterday I was looking up the Bajoran Sourcebook to flip through and discovered the Think tank PDF as well. I looked at it and thought that it looked great in basic and wondered what it would look like as a Spacedock ship. I used the basic ICON as a template and then began working out its look in spacedock and that is where I got carried away. This version has weapons that I figured that the Borg assimilated from other species and they were originated by the crew of the Think Tank as well as integrated into their ship. After a while it was clear that the Think Tank was a little too elaborate. I knew that I needed to make drastic cuts to the ship. I find it hard to call it a ship and see it more as a mobile space station much like the Death Star’s. Even the liter version is still a handful in a fight with plenty of power to run the cloak or engage in a battle with another vessel or multiple vessels, which I will post here after words. Either of these ships/mobile stations are useable in game play. The only difference I would make that I have not was to give it a better means of travel other than just a Warp Drive system, something like Transwarp or Quantum Slipstream Drives this would allow them to get around the Delta Quadrant faster and cause more trouble here and there. I would say the Transwarp something else that the Borg have assimilated from another species that they developed it for. I would not lose the Warp Drive either I would like to have both making it a bigger ship in abilities.

Notes: There are technologies that are taken strait from a Borg Cube but in actuality they are technology that the think tank developed for races that were attempting to fight the Borg. They saw that the tech was integrated into their own ship as they are the originators of the technology the systems are quite compatible ton their systems. The Neutronium hull plating that is used as armor is basically tight out of the TOS spacedock book with a little change as you can see. Like the Borg the Think Tank can modulate their shields to increase their protection doubling or even tripling their defensive capabilities in a battle with little change to the power being used roll for difficulty in generating the increase 10 for double and 15 for triple and just for the heck of it 18 for quadrupled the protection the GM’s call.
The slimed down or revised cut down version here is the economy version just the basics that I could squeeze to lower the SU’s down. I had to lose some of the best parts but keep what would make’s the Think Tank, the Think Tank.

"Slimed down"? Have Dr. Venkman and crew invaded the Think Tank? I remember a time not-so-long-ago when "economy version" meant bigger and better for the same price, as opposed to today's meaning od smaller and more efficient. Time change...
