At tmutant's suggestion in my thread below about designing a new class of Federation starship, I went to http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/ to check out the Advanced Starship Design Bureau, looking at the Bradbury-class starship for use in a post-Dominion era campaign, as a potential testbed for a quantum slipstream drive.
However, looking at what they had, I noticed it came into conflict with the stats Sea Tyger posted here some time back on the forums. While I liked Sea Tyger's take on the Bradbury-class, I figured perhaps it wouldn't hurt to take a stab at it myself, and stat up the variant shown in the Advanced Starship Design Bureau as best as I could. So, without further ado...

==============================
There are, if you compare, several differences between my stats and Sea Tyger's, notably the size difference (which means that atmospheric landing is no longer an option unless you use Unique System or something of that kin to allow it), as well as the lack of a separation system, so I'll explain my reasons below:
1) Size/Atmosphere Capable Changes: The stats at the ASDB showed the Bradbury-class to be a heavy cruiser rather than a heavy frigate, and given their interpretation of the length/height/beam dimensions, required some changing. The length meant an increase from size 6 to size 8 (although perhaps I might could make a case for a size 7 spaceframe, given the height and beam dimensions fit within the parameters set in Starships). Even so, the change in size removes the possibility of atmospheric landing capability, and so I removed it.
2) Separation System: Looking at the 3D images, as well as the layout of the Bradbury-class as interpreted by the ASDB, I have some difficulty trying to figure out how a separation system would function on the Bradbury-class spaceframe, unless it has something to do with having a separate warp system and impulse system, since the ASDB Bradbury interpretation makes the ship one of redundancies (notably, the twin navigational deflectors on the ventral side of the spaceframe). Rather than try to figure out a logical way for it to work (since I'm not really a fan of single-nacelle ships), I decided to just say no to having a separation system.
Those two factors aside, I think the design is still fairly workable. The structure is higher than normal, but I used 5 space to up the structure by the same amount. Even with 3 Type X phaser arrays and 3 Mk 90 DF torpedo launchers, as well as twin impulse/warp systems and some additional cargo space, my total space cost is 107 of 119 available, which means there's 12 space to play with.
Hopefully you'll like this variant stats interpretation. I think I've done all the calculations correctly on this (unlike my poor Odyssey-class design that I'm still trying to iron out all the problems in my thread below), but I admit there might be a mistake here or there. By all means, however, enjoy.
Edit: I changed the missile penetration values, as Sea Tyger pointed out that the combat system doesn't differentiate between separate firing arcs. Thanks for the heads up, Sea Tyger.
