It is said that this class is supposed to replace the Oberth Class ships. The main thing I found wrong with was its size. Too much metal wasted on such a ship for science missions. Medical missions I can believe, if such a ship was to take on a lot of casualties of war. And besides, the Oberth Class does a good job on such science missions, and ANY ship can be designated as a medical ship, such as the Miranda, Excelsior, Centaur, etc.<p>Ugly ship.
