Honestly, the Deflectors plus the maneuverability make this one of the toughest ships we've ever built, and the phasers give it enough teeth to deter low level threats.

All in all, a success story I think. The cost is only marginally higher than a block two Stingray to boot, while being much faster at Warp. The only area where Stingrays beat this design is in alpha strike and coverage.

Shields are op.

[X] UES Pliny

Not only did Pliny the Elder sorta originate the encyclopedia format, but he supposedly died trying to rescue a friend from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

A hero and a scholar.

Lets hope curiosity doesn't bump into any cat folk.

Pity we can't name them after notable sci-fi authors.

Save the philosophers for the eventual Project Socrates.

[X] UES Newton. Named after philosophers of the natural sciences.

If we go with this, an obvious pick for the second name of the class would be the UES Darwin - so I don't see as much point naming the class after him. That, and I'd be a little concerned about the name potentially having negative impacts on the morale of crews assigned to it later in the timeline.

Sounds like with current warp technology we're limited to a 'baseline' maximum of warp 6.8, so we'll need to keep that in mind for the workhorse.

Imagine what could have been if we had gone with the vertical nacelles 😞 alas the anti orbists where also anti vertical.

Look, we all have our silly hills to die on, and Salva Veritate is a perfectly respectable Starfleet ship motto.

This is a revolutionary design. We have a science capability double that of our current explorer generation, firepower equivalent to a Stingray-class frigate, and defenses almost equivalent to our present explorers. This ship is also 3 times faster than our previous generation at sprint and more than twice as fast at cruise. I think we should be very, very happy with this ship, which crams all of this into a package only 75% the size of the Enterprise-class explorers.

Aw, too bad that the parallel nacelles didn't work out that well.
