DESIGN NOTES:

This is one of two amazing designs by Brad that is beautiful to look at, well written and quite capable of being thrown into most any scenario. His original has a single design line, with this variant turning directly into the MK II. However – there was a different enough look, coupled with the class change that I think a new version is appropriate. I also find it hard to think that the Feds would launch a ship without SOME kind of torpedo, but it’s such a good design that I didn’t try and modify it at all. Currently, I have not copied the text over as well – although hopefully Brad won’t mind if I do. We went with Archer II as there is a nice little scout called the Archer class. Enjoy!
