2369: Project Intrepid (Certification)
[X] USS Endeavour. Exploration can sometimes be challenging, but the rewards are worth the effort.
Endeavour-class Mission Certification
The Endeavour design specification is for a long range science ship capable of exploratory duty.
It is the judgement of this report that the Endeavour meets these requirements. Details follow.
The Endeavour has a long operational range at a cruise of Warp 8.6 with a maximum speed of Warp 9.9. As such the Endeavour is certified to operate four years from the nearest refuelling depot at standard cruise. Crew lodgings are noted to be standard and the Endeavour has a forward lounge and two holodecks for recreational purposes. Standard complement of 160 crew.
The Endeavour is equipped with a Type-7 shield matrix, nine Type-10 phaser strips, and rapid-fire photon launchers forward and aft. It utilizes the Type-6 torpedo standard. Its weapon systems are acceptable per the new anti-Borg tactical framework.
The Endeavour is equipped with a downsized Type-8 impulse thruster, mounted along the midline at the aft of the primary hull. It shows high acceleration for its mass and acceptable manoeuvrability.
The Endeavour is equipped with a secondary deflector dish with integrated scanners. Her isolinear computer system is capable of standard computation and data storage, supported by subnodes with bioneural gelpacks. The Endeavour has an extremely sophisticated set of forward and lateral sensor palettes and laboratory facilities for onboard analysis and research.
The Endeavour has a shuttle bay and a standard complement of four Type-8 shuttles and four Class-2 shuttles. The Endeavour is equipped with two large cargo bays and a large industrial replicator. The Endeavour is therefore certified to carry out medium to high-capacity bulk cargo deliveries and repair missions.
The Endeavour has a standard sickbay with sixteen biobeds and a basic surgical suite. It is also equipped with the experimental Emergency Medical Hologram program. It is not equipped to act as a hospital ship or emergency relief. It has two transporter rooms and is capable of 36 transports per minute under optimal conditions.
The Endeavour utilises a number of novel technologies that are expected to become standard in the next decade. The primary shortcoming is the requirement for the manufacture of the flawed nacelle coils, which is expected to be corrected in the event of a second tranche.
In concordance with the findings of this review and in consultation with Starfleet Command, Supervisor Utopia Planitia authorises one (1) production run of eight vessels, further orders to be reviewed after a performance analysis in five years.

Tom Paris and Kathryn Janeway test a transwarp drive built into the Delta Flyer. It works. It evolves them into lizards. They have lizard babies and leave them on a random planet. They never speak of it again. I forget how they turn back into people.
You joke but the Voyager-J's warp nacelles are literally disconnected from the rest of the ship.
honestly I understand why it has a role in terms of the game system, but I admit I struggle a bit to see why Starfleet would build eight ships with a critical flaw in their nacelles rather than simply waiting until a new material was in production.
Also, I'd hoped that the sensor palettes and new computer core would let us be A+ in Science, c'est la vie I suppose.
The Cerritos is my favourite ugly duckling of a starship. Don't you be mean about my little oomfie!
Also Memory Alpha once again reveals itself to be a hive of madness where nerds are drawn in like moths to a candle flame, then go insane trying to make random snippests of episode dialogue make sense. In the same paragraph, it states that:
This seems to me to misunderstand what the words "sustainable" and "cruise" mean.

It's a good thing the antimatter storage won.
Damn we got an 8 ship frist production run. Nice
I support this
Sweet! Solid mid-line vessel, though I still believe we should have done the Type XII Phasers and bumped that up to an A or S for tactical. Really would have pushed it into an all rounder I think.
I suspect they're quoting the episode and it's the writers who are to blame for the mismatched verbiage.The Cerritos is my favourite ugly duckling of a starship. Don't you be mean about my little oomfie!

Damn, the Endeavor is a chonky boy. Hope Janeway enjoys cruising through the Delta Quadrant with this heavily armed behemoth of a "peaceful science ship."
EDIT:
And it got three full runs. Damn, we did good with this one.

As far as I'm concerned, warp dynamics go something like this:
You've got the place where you get the most speed vs unit of fuel at standard cruise. Then you have most speed you can get without damaging your engine at max cruise. Then you have maximum warp, which is pumping as much antimatter into the warp core as possible, and eventually the coils are on the verge of actual physical damage so you have to lower your speed.

I think this is my favourite Ship this quest has designed so far, the long Hull and Nacelles fit the Voyager saucer really well.
The original Intrepid always felt like they stretched the saucer and squashed all the rest of the ship.
Definitely either the Endeavour or Ushaan.

I decided that I didn't really care for it as a measurement. By TNG it felt like everything was complicated rather than rugged because it needed to be just to perform what it was being asked to do, and the crews had just adapted. Whereas early on with the Constitution or Excelsior it felt like something you could take cadets on for on-the-job training.

They noted the lenght it can stay away from base as one of its best features.Should have gone for that secondary computer core damn it.
It's a long range science ship, its still excellent at science.
Surprisingly it's basically Voyager's canon armament: type-6 torpedoes and type-10 phasers.
Well they either adapted or got killed by an exploding console

She can always ram the enemy if all else fails. With a ship this big the worst damage it would take is probably just killing Harry Kim again.
Should have gone for the type 12 phasers
Nice Scores

Yeah... Honestly I don't thing adding Explosive Reactive Armor to the consoles was the best idea the SDB ever had.

Will next ship have the option for the tetryon engine Harry Kim was a part of designing?
