    New Federation Starship: Expedition Class

    A few days ago I recieved the Narrator's Guide and the Player's Guide. I have been reading the NG trying to get the game i would like to host together, and went to the starship chatper to build the ship that the players would have. This is my first 'rough draft' of the Expedition class ships.

    I don't really want to use the ships already established, I wanted to give my players something new to work with, hoping to add to the excitement of the game.

    All Comments are welcome, since i have really no clue what i am doing yet.

    could someone please tell me what all the numbers mean and how they are used? that would be a big help.

    A little side note info:

    The Expedition is a 24th century remake of the Enterprise NX-01. I really like the design of the NX-01 and so i wanted to make a 24th century version. I guess its like the Nova Class ships, but sleek on the bottom ( best way i know how to describe it). the Expedition is a support vessel for a starbase. please all comments are welcome! thank you

    Looks more like the Defiant by any other name!

    If its a 2375 ship the nx/uss number should be higher. Something in the 70000 range at least.

    Its packs a bit of punch for a SB support vessel. Although it looks like your using the defiant as a base fram to work with.

    Sounds great! I like the idea of an upgraded NX-class too... that class is my favorite Star Trek ship design. The class sounds like it could be a replacement/support vehicle for the Defiant class. Definitely falls into the "escort" category.
    This ship would be on a war footing obviously, so you might have to find a good excuse to have a PC ship continually getting into battle... not much "exploration" involved with this one it seems.
