10 Space left

The addition of a third shuttle bay on the underside of the fantail seems to be a standard up grade for this class. I would think that class 4 sensors would be one too.

Traits: Small for size (-5 space) I made this one up from compairing models of the two ships. The Ambassador just doesn't have the volume that a Galaxy does, but it is way bigger than an Excelisior. So I figured it was Size 8 but a little small for it's size class.

Close to what I came up with.

I think the small for size thing should go; if you think it should be smaller, go with a size 7. There's a size RANGE for each size.
