Very nice indeed. Can you do specs on the new Deep Space Nine? I would like to see specs on that. :D

A new DS9 will be a while coming. For now we're concentrating on the Titan and Destiny series. As discussed upthread, there's just too many books to try and include everything.

I'll also suggest, once that is done of course, moving on to the Typhon Pact and The Fall novels. ... If only to see peoples reactions to the bombshells produced in some of them. :happydevil:

Maybe that's why Pluto was consumed, to end the debate once and for all.

Hey that's nice! But I am surprised. The Luna class phasers are so weak in books? An "old" New Orleans frigate, the Voyager and the Stargazer all appears to have better phaser output.

According to the model there are only five phaser arrays. As compared to 13 on the Intrepid class. And the Luna class notes say it's much less optimised for combat and more for science than most ships. Hence the low phaser score. Though it's partially offset by the use of quantum torpedoes.

Agreed for Intrepid vs Luna but the New Orleans has more firepower with 4 phasers. a lot more. And the same type VIII.

I dont think the modernity of phasers matter much, its the size of the Warp Core that matters.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yeah but do we know New Orleans warpcore size?

we just know a New Orleans is smaller. In fact the small Luna is closer to a Nebula than a New Orleans in size (but a lot smaller despite of being longer)

The "100" for Beam Firepower caught my eye as well... but just as a surprise, not something that I agree or disagree with. While I would expect more due to experiences in fighting the Dominion and Borg, it makes sense to have less due to the mission statement of the class. Also, as mentioned, the torp power is quite high so it is not like it is lacking all fight ability.
Ugh... do not thump the Book of G'Quan...
