    USS Talon

    Am I wrong (more then likely) or was the Talon class used in Insurrection? Wasn't it a Talon that Picard and Worf used to go in and get Data in the beginning of the Movie?

    Been a while so I can't really remember.

    In the movie its pretty much just a scout ship.

    I believe its LUG that made the Talon class around the scout.

    Just the other way round I think.
    AFAIR Data's ship was the one that served as the basis for the LUG Talon-class, while the thing Picard and Worf used was just a big shuttle (for which I haven't seen any specific game stats).

    A while back I wrote some ICON Stats for the Shuttles 8, 9, 10 and 11, and shuttlepod type 18. Upgrades from the basics given in the rulebook. I will try and post them here eventually.

    In the meantime, SRM1 covers ALL the starfleet shuttles towards the back.

    Yeah, but SRM1 makes specific mention of the types of shuttles this entry covers and I can't identifiy this specific shuttle as one of these models.

    AFAIK we have never seen this kind of shuttle ever before or after. Somehow I feel the standard shuttle stats as found in SRM1 don't do this ship justice. It seems larger (maybe 2x the length of a Type 7, 8 or 9) and looks very sleek.
    This, of course, is just my personal sentiment and not based on any real need for specific game-stats covering this kind of shuttle.

    Maybe if I have the time for it I will make up some stats over the weekend and post them here.
