Upgraded Excelsior Class from DS9

[Capt_Adam]

Hello everybody,

I am looking for the Upgraded Excelsior Class stats for the USS Lakota that were posted on the old Trek-rpg site. If anybody has them, I'd really appreciate a copy.

Thanks

And does anybody have the stats for the Enterprise B Excelsior variant? I believe the USS Lakota was the same model as the Enterprise B from Generations, wasn't it?

Which game system are you guys using, ICON or CODA?

[Tobian]

Well for a non game specific set of data, the DITL website details all three - the Excelsior, the Enteprise B and the lakota, from their three respective era's of technology.

Since in most systems the technical specifications tends to be abstracted (well especially in the case of the CODA system) , you can take what you want it all to mean in terms of game mechanics, but that give you a basic idea to begin with.

[ edit ]

The site seems to be suffeing from some glitchiness. to find it go to http://www.ditl.org - and hit Fed Ships > Excelsior

I'm using CODA. Great link (well, it didn't take me straight to the page, but some clicking got me there), thanks very much!

I've done up stats for it, if you want a peek? I can post it here or send it by email.

[Mazza]

Post it here by all means, so everyone can see!

Thankyou kind sir, even if you are talking to the person who wanted the USS Lakota instead of me.

I want to apologize for not posting the Excelsior upgrade. RL got in the way and I simply forgot

I was reading BouncyCatian's Excelsior and it hit me that I had completely forgotten.

My fist impression was that she's way overpowered weaponery-wise but then I figured it makes sense. In that DS9 ep she gave the Defiant a very hard time and I clearly remember O'Brian expressing his amazement at her capabilities; saying something like there was no Excelsior class ship with that kind of firepower. What I like here is that on the defensive side she's also a tough ship but only reasonably so. She could dish out almost as much as a Sovereign class but she wouldn't be able to take as strong a beating. All in all very interesting design.
