I don't have my NG with me tonight, but she looks pretty good on spec.

Nice sizing.

I think the Torps are a bit undergunned for such a big ship, but that's just me

I noticed one thing right off. For your transporters, I noticed you had 5, 4 and 4 for your transporters, and I don't know how many, if any, points you spent on that.

If you paid a point for additional transporters, you receive your standard allotment for it. Meaning, instead of 5, 4, 4, you would actually have 8, 8, 8.

My only other nit on this is the classification of the ship, compared to its mission. Personally, I'd classify the Excalibur, as you've presented it, as more of an explorer than a heavy cruiser...especially if it's a post-DW design.

Thanks Sea Tyger. I did put a point in transporters but I didnt realize the rule worked like that. I have changed the number of transporters.

The reason for the classification is that in my campaign I intend for thier to be a philosophical conflict going on in the Federation governement. The "hawks" vs the "explorers". This ship represents a victory for the hawks who want the ship in a high profile position. Thank you for your observations.
