[Reinhart]

Does the slower Maximum Speed take in account the dual warp core?

Everything else looks nice. I imagine you didn't change up much of the deck listings.

[Enmui Darkheart]

Hm, I think that the new maximum speed should take into account the heavier loading capacity, so this should be right. The dual core however would enable a lot more power to be dedicated towards weapons, especially since carriers are potentially sitting ducks once engaged.

Then again, I think the Director would have already taken that into account. (That is, hoping he did the energy calculations)

[Varela]

We seriously need to add more smilies...Thumbs up on teh class.

[Enmui Darkheart]

Just a quick thought if the ship can carry 10,000....why not increase the size of the normal compliment?

also....is it supposed to have two compliments of quantum torps.

[Blackcat]

The emergency capacity means the flight deck would be loaded with evacuees. The normal compliments are about right for a ship that size.

The 2 different sets of quantum torpedoes are tied to the particular launcher types.

[Enmui Darkheart]

Good points I wasn't thinking that way before.

[rikere]

I think it could go faster as we've seen some pretty big ships make some pretty high speeds... the Galaxy makes it past warp 9 when they fire-wall the warp core and this ship's got two. If both are pushed to the limit, I could see it making speeds more to warp 9.4 and 9.6... If I recall, even the Akira can reach 9.4...

[Enmui Darkheart]

Galaxy is made for exploration, it's designed to make maximum use of speed.

The Lex is a carrier, designed to carry things.

[rikere]

I wouldn't put the galaxy as high speed though, after a few days of high warp they had to sit for repairs... It was that episode where they found those DNA connections between all the species...
