OOC:
I was thinking some time within the next month or so to make the move to Future Tech. I was going to go with Star Trek weaponry as my primary equipment. I was going to see if this was good enough for types of ships to use. I was going to make some modifications to these stats in a few days, so look for those updates in this first post.

CAPITAL SHIPS
Akira Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Aki_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Aki_anim.gif
Category: Heavy Cruiser
Length: 464.43 Meters
Width: 316.67 Meters
Height: 87.43 Meters
Mass: 3,055,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 19
Crew: 500 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 4,000

Phasers: 3 x Type X
Torpedo launchers: 15 x Pulse Fire Torpedo tube with 300 rounds

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9.3
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.8 (12 hours)

Notes : The USS Akira is one of the very few Starfleet vessels which is heavily biased toward the combat role. The ships carry an extremely heavy torpedo armament of no less than 15 photon torpedo tubes. Seven of these are mounted in the large roll bar pod, all facing forwards; the remaining eight are located in the saucer section, two of which face directly out to port and starboard - an unusual feature in a Starfleet vessel.

Another unusual feature of the Akira class is the hangar bay arrangements. There are two large shuttle bays in the saucer section, one at the forward edge of the saucer section and one at the rear. These are linked together through the centre of the ship, allowing large numbers of launch and landing operations to be handled simultaneously. During peacetime this allows the Akira to evacuate large numbers of small survey craft, or ferry evacuees on board at a high rate. During the Dominion war the ships often serve as fighter carriers; in this role they can carry up to one hundred attack fighters, although a load of thirty six fighters and a dozen utility craft is more usual.

The USS Akira entered service in 2363, and a rapid production run put nearly a hundred others into the fleet over the next twelve years. Most were assigned to units on the outer Federation territories, performing patrol and presence missions as well as the normal mapping and exploration duties which any Starfleet vessel is expected to handle.

More recently the escalation of tensions at the Federations core over the last few years has led to almost all of the Akiras being recalled to operate nearer to Earth; thirty five where assigned to the Typhon Sector Fleet in 2370, the remainder being assigned to the areas adjacent to the Cardassian, Klingon and Romulan borders. Akira class vessels featured prominently in the 2373 Borg attack on Earth; the Typhon Fleet, together with several reinforcement squadrons, fought a running battle with the Borg vessel from the Typhon sector to Earth. Many of the ships were destroyed during this battle. A notable participant was the USS Thunderchild, NCC 63549, which participated in the final assault which destroyed the Borg cube.


Galaxy Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Gal_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Gal_anim.gif
Category: Explorer
Length: 641 Meters
Width: 470 Meters
Height: 145 Meters
Mass: 4,960,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 42
Crew: 1014 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 13,986

Phasers: Type X
Torpedo Launchers: 3

Warp Reactor: W/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9.2
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.9 (12 hours)

Notes: The Galaxy class is Starfleet’s current flagship class. The Galaxy was designed to be a multi-purpose mission platform, intended to replace all older classes. The Galaxy class possesses the most advance general purpose scientific and exploration recourses of any Federation starship class; this makes the Galaxy ideal for long term exploration missions independent of Starfleet resources. The Galaxy class was also equipped with state of the art weapon and defensive systems when it was launched in the mid 24th century, along with saucer separation capability, which allowed the star drive section to serve as a mobile weapons platform when relieved of the bulk of its mass. Before the advent of the Federation battleships due to the Borg and Dominion threats, the Galaxy class was the choice class for defending the Federation borders and showing the flag as a deterrent for any hostile moves from neighboring species. Finally, the Galaxy class was also designed for diplomatic, evacuation, and first contact missions, fulfilling its role as the most capable Federation ship.


Galaxy Refit Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Galx_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Galx_anim.gif
Category: Warship
Length: 641 Meters
Width: 470 Meters
Height: 145 Meters
Mass: 5,160,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 42
Crew: 1014 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 13,986

Phasers: Type XII, Phaser Cannon
Torpedo Launchers: 3

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 9.993
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9.995
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.999

Notes: The aging Galaxy class ships were due to be retired as a ship of the line, but the Enterprise-D with its long service history was refitted with modern weaponry, defenses, and engines, at the behest of Admiral Riker. The Galaxy refit classes most prominent feature is the third nacelle on the secondary hull, this along with the improved engine designs allow the ship to reach speeds in excess of warp 9.993. The Galaxy Refit class also features a heavy beam cannon on the underside of the saucer section, this cannon is capable of piercing enemy shields and hulls with one blast. Along with the main cannon, sixteen new phaser arrays have been installed on the ship.


Nebula Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Neb_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Neb_anim.gif
Category: Explorer
Length: 442.23 Meters
Width: 318.11 Meters
Height: 130.43 Meters
Mass: 3,309,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 32
Crew: 70 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 9730

Phasers: Type X
Torpedo Launchers: 2

Warp Reactor: W/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.9 (12 hours)

Notes: The Nebula class was originally designed as a transport for a separated non-warp capable Galaxy saucer section that became separated form its star drive section. As the Galaxy and Nebula classes were being designed, the Nebula’s design was changed to include its own saucer section to make it a compete ship. The Nebula is intended to supplement the Galaxy class’ abilities and with its more compact design to be created in greater number then the Galaxy.


Norway Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Nor_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Nor_anim.gif
Category: Medium Cruiser
Length: 364.77 Meters

Mass: 622,000 Meters

Decks: 12
Crew: 190 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 310

Phasers: Type X
Torpedo Launchers: 2

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 8.4
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.7 (12 hours)

Notes: The Norway class is a heavily armed starship, which was designed to supplement the Akira, Steamrunner, and Saber generation of classes. Unlike the other three classes the Norway is not as heavily armed making it more capable of diplomatic and scientific missions.


Nova Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Nova_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Nova_anim.gif
Category: Science
Length: 165 Meters
Width: 85 Meters
Height: 34 Meters
Mass: 110,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 8
Crew: 80 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 0

Phasers: Type X
Torpedo Launchers: 0

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 7
Maximum Speed: Warp 8

Notes: The Nova class is a science vessel similar to the aging Oberth class, but with greater science capabilities and the ability to defend themselves in combat situations. The Nova is intended to replace the Oberth class as they go into large scale production.


Prometheus Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Pro_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Pro_anim.gif
Category: Multi-Vector Assault
Length: 415 Meters
Width: 163 Meters
Height: 64 Meters
Mass: 1,350,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 15
Crew: 175 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 0

Phasers: XII
Torpedo Launchers 2

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9.9
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.98

Notes: The Prometheus class was designed as a prototype for multi vector assault technology, as an outgrowth of the Sovereign and Defiant class projects. In designing this ship, Starfleet equipped it with all the latest technology tested with other classes including weapons, shields, and engines. The class also includes a new multi-vector assault design, where the ship is capable of separating into three components that can be coordinated to attack a single threat or act independently to fight multiple enemies. The Prometheus is also the fastest ship in the fleet, capable of reaching speeds greater then Warp 9.9.


Saber Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Sab_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Sab_anim.gif
Category: Light Cruiser
Length: 364.77 Meters
Width: 225.61 Meters
Height: 52.48 Meters
Mass: 310,000

Decks: 8
Crew: 40 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 160

Phasers: Type X
Torpedo Launchers: 2

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 8.8
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.7

Notes: The Saber class is a long range scout/combat vessel. Very little is known about this class.


Soverign Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Sov_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Sov_anim.gif
Category: Explorer Type II
Length: 685 Meters
Width: 250 Meters
Height: 88 Meters
Mass: 3,205,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 24
Crew: 130 Officers, 725 Enlisted
Marines: 3045

Phasers: Type XII
Torpedo Launchers: 3

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9.7
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.9 (12 hours)

Notes: The Sovereign class is Starfleet's newest and most technologically advance class of starship. When first conceived the Sovereign class was intended to carry out the same mission profile as the Ambassador and the Galaxy classes, with introduction coming late in the Galaxy class's life cycle. As new threats immerged in the mid-24th century, such as the return of the Romulan Empire and the Borg, the Sovereign class design was update to incorporate elements of a battleship, and lessening of the diplomatic and exploration roles. After the first Borg invasion the Sovereign class was rushed into service far earlier then planned. This allowed the class to play a pivotal role in the Dominion War and Reman incident.


Streamrunner Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Ste_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Ste_anim.gif
Category: Escort

CAPITAL SHIPS (Continued)
Defiant Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Def_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Def_anim.gif
Category: Escort
Length: 170.68 Meters
Width: 134.11 Meters
Height: 30.1 Meters
Mass: 355,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 4
Crew: 50 Officers and Enlisted
Marines: 100

Phasers: Pulse Phasers
Torpedo Launchers: 2 Cannons

Warp Reactor: M/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9.2
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.982 (12 hours)

Notes: The Defiant class is Starfleet’s first true warship, though officially designated as an escort class. The Defiant design project was started after the initial Borg invasion, which left the Federation feeling vulnerable to future attack, on an extremely accelerated schedule. Designed from the ground up as an extremely maneuverable weapons platform featuring quantum torpedoes and rapid fire pulse phasers, the Defiant class is Starfleet’s premier class. As thoughts of the Borg diminished, the Defiant program was scraped after the ship proved to have excessive power and weapons problems. With the coming of the Dominion threat the U.S.S Defiant was stationed at DS9 to hold the Dominion at bay until reinforcement could arrive.


Intrepid Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Int_main.jpg
Animated Image: http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrekAnimated/Int_anim.gif
Category: Explorer
Length: 342.5 Meters
Width: 144.8 Meters
Height: 55.42 Meters
Mass: 3,638,000 Metric Tons

Decks: 15
Crew: 40 Officers, 230 Enlisted
Marines: 2730

Phasers: Type X
Torpedo Launchers: 2

Warp Reactor: W/ARA
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 9
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.975 (12 hours)

Notes: The Intrepid class was designed to fulfill the roles of an exploration and science vessel along with a light combat capability; it is also one of the fastest and most agile ships in the fleet. As with many other recent ships classes, experience with loss of several of the initial multi-purpose Galaxy class ships alerted Starfleet that smaller ships with a more specific mission may be a better overall fleet strategy; thus the Intrepid class was designed to take on some of the Galaxy’s exploration and science missions. Unlike the Galaxy class ships, the Intrepid is not heavily armed but is equipped well enough to defend itself; this combined with its speed and maneuverability makes it ideal for border patrol against lightly armed forces such as raiders and the Marquis, in locations that a massive Galaxy class would not be able to operate.


Olympic Class
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/StarTrek/Oly_main.jpg

Notes: The Danube class is a warp capable personnel transport, larger and faster then the standard shuttle. Runabouts are also more heavily armed then a standard federation shuttle, with phasers and micro-torpedoes. It is commonly stationed at deep space stations as a supplement for missions away from the station. Although this class has also been assigned to other ships in the fleet as a supplemental defense/assault force.

You are placing too much emphasis on Capital Ship. AS I see it, and remember that the majority of my line ships are ST based, you need to choose one class, maybe two, which would serve as Capital Ships. And why both classes of Galaxy? I use the original, refitted with modern weaponry and so forth, but without the third nacelle.

Also, the Akira class. Careful with those stats - the 15 launchers is not canon, but is one of a variety of stated figures. In the SE Navy, we use Akira's in a similar many to aircraft carriers.

And the Yeager Type was introduced during the Dominion War to help plug the gaps, and made from a variety of hull forms, with an Intrepid-class main hull making up the bulk of it.

Ships currently in use with the SE Navy, as line ships, are: Sovereign, Galaxy, Akira, Prometheus, Defiant, Intrepid, and finally Nova (Science purposes)

No... in order to make shields useless you have to be at the correct frequency, not constantly changing. I mean, this might let you get a second or so through a shield, but that's it.

OOC:
The information is from roughly 3 different web sites. I'll try to figure out which ones are right and which ones are wrong. And i was just seperating them between the larger ships and the support ships. I was going to break them down to the sub groups at a later date.

(Errm, first of all I have to commend you for using an original canon... lots of Star Warsy people. But to be honest, ST is sorta the low end of future tech... tech. Also... frigates! Frigates protect capital ships, I have lots of them. Oh and... fighters! I mean you shouldn't have soap operalike fighter fights but... you need some sort of mini escort. Other then that um... have fun.)

Can ST tech truly compete in the NS universe? With ST ships having a lower weapons to surface area ratio than present day battleships, how can they hope to stand up to all the SW tech nations out there? I'm not even going to mention the 40K based nations because, lets face it, 40k is ri-friggin-diculous to begin with. ST ships' faster than light travel (warp) is a snail's pace compared to hyperdrive or custom FTLs. Then there's the odd multi-tasking done by ST ships. First of all, diplomatic duties? One does not negotiate from a warship for anything other than surrender, ceasefires, annexations, and other violent things. And then there is all the space inside these ships used for nonmilitant operations. Science labs, holodecks and whatnot. Things that warships don't need. Thentheir is what I consider ST's fatal flaw. After proving their worth in WW1, why would cease to use fighters/bombers once we went to space? And no, shuttles/runabout-things don't count.

Why do people always lambast ST so much? I don't get what people have against it. It's not designed to be realistic! It's designed for enjoyment! It shouldn't matter what you use, so long as you enjoy it. Oh, and there are fighters/bombers in the ST universe: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Peregrine_class.

Shazbotdom, take it from me, when you use ST, people slag you off all the time because they don't like it. AS for your information, try Memory Alpha, it's a Star Trek wiki, and although that means information can be flawed, it's one of the most comprehensive sites I have ever used.

Well. It's not like i'm going to take a June 06 (just started last month) nation's word for how all the different FT's work together as my definite answer. The main reason that i started this thread is to get a lot of people's oppinions, not just one persons.

Sorry if I don't seem experienced enough for you. I have a MT nation that's going on a year now, and my original FT nation kinda died while I was at boot.

FT is much more volatile than MT, and since you're using ST Tech, it's not going to match that well against the more...jacked up FT players.

I assume by jacked up you mean people who bump their populations to massive amounts?

Take a look at Mini Miehm. Everything he has seems to be on steroids.

That's an understatement if I've ever heard one.

Hey, if you want a good Near-Future Tech RP to get you started, my Burning Trail RP would be perfect for your intro, Shaz. No shields and big stuff, mainly just lasers and missiles, but it's turning out to be a high-quality character RP, plus it would give you some good skills for FT.

Ah, well I see what you mean.

Anyway, we seem to be drifting off topic. Shazbotdom, I congratulate you for choosing what many deem 'the lesser FT'. Any additional help on it, I'll be happy to provide.

Same here. With SE's and mine knowledge of ST combined, we could be a potent information source for you, Shaz.

I use the ST universe technology but in my own custom designs. Using the canon ST ships would be good to start, but as you advance you might want to make more customized designs, grounded in the ST universe of course.

I'm bad at designing my own ships. Unless you want to be my major contractor for any and all ship jobs that i need? ;)
