[X] Type-12 Phasers (Prototype)
[X] Quantum Torpedoes (Prototype)

Both systems are Canon for the Sovereign. Neither system is brand new, and the Quantums can always be ditched for Photons just like was done with the Ushaan years ago.

SDB Sovereign shows up

Cardassians: "we probably can't take starfleet"
That depends on how well things run out, we have a lot of rolls for things to not work and if enough of them dont we might end up with a ship lacking in areas or that cant be produced in enough numbers to make a difference

We are going to be rolling so many Prototype dice for this ship. :confused:

The Type-12 has seen use in Starbases, so that might help in making it less of a prototype, and I hoped that the troubles in the Quantum Torpedoes have been ironed out, but who knows.

Was originally going to go for the Type-10 Phasers to try to cut down on prototypes, but it is a major upgrade.

And after the Prometheus, merely 'fitting' starbase-level weapons on a ship sounds downright reasonable.

This build is going to be fiendishly complex.

It's why i said as long as it's cheap to maintain. As long as a refit package is on the table then I can see it going longer. Eventually it will get scrapped or aold.
Problem is even with refit they were still getting outperformed and Federation built them as combat ships anyways. Frankly getting into a Peregrine had a higher life expectancy than a Miranda crewmate in a fight. Which is frankly pathetic.
... what role does the Miranda even occupy?
What kind of ship would we have to make to replace it?
Twenty years ago it was as @LunaMoth said. Now? It's a ship that's still around due to inertia and numbers. But due to the march of time it's getting outcompeted by fighter craft. It's basically Starfleet's freighter now. Except we could probably build one that carried just as much, faster and less likely to get one shot by a Runabout shuttle.

Maximum boom. Maximum beam. Maximum maximum.
