[QUOTE]Originally posted by crobato: [QB] I had a fanfic that made the speculation of a Nova class patrol ship. I had it written at the end of April and started posting it early May. It's actually the second episode of my Athena fanfics (I only had posted the first episode in this board.) Here is the chapter: [URL=http://trekbbs.com/ubb/Forum14/HTML/000953.html]http://trekbbs.com/ubb/Forum14/HTML/000953.html[/URL] "He looked at the roster of ships. He recognized a few: �Butcher� Boussard�s Akira class USS Hiryu, Hoesch�s Aegis class USS Boise; Masako Maeda�s USS Vanguard, another Aegis ship. There is a flotilla of Spearhead class scouts, and one of the names he recognized was Tadeo Masaki�s USS John Glenn. The Spearhead class is a new improved Nova class scout, with enough changes that they decided to give it a new class name. Basically, it replaces the main hull with a new streamlined spearhead like design, with slightly longer and more powerful warp engines. The new hull, which gave it its name, could house more sensory equipment, personnel and armament than a standard Nova class ship. Along with the Spearheads were Nova class ships, both the original science ship and the A refit. along with Nova A class ships. Although the original Nova class was small it was expensive due to the being loaded to the gills with state of the art sensors and scientific equipment. Starfleet saw the potential of the design for a low cost escort frigate and police ship, but a lot of the equipment used on the Novas were useless for such work. So Starfleet commissioned a stripped down but heavier armed variant called the Nova A refit. They supplemented the Defiants and Sabres in escort and increasingly, in front line duties, but are best known for internal police duties, where their size and �friendlier� image proved more useful." Then the fanfic goes on, with the Novas along with Prometheus class ship, and other shipos like Sabres, Akiras, Steamrunners, Norways, to battle the Borg, including Cubes, Diamonds, Spheres and a Sphere of a new design, and a Diamond of a new design, in the midst of a Borg colony that includes Borg bases such as ship assembly matrix. The Aegis mentioned is my own invention, an Intrepid variant joined with a smaller scale Sovie type hull, swept back upward warp pylons, with nacelles similar to the Sovie/Promie/Nova design fashion. The idea is a hull that's fatter on the rear for more shuttles, no complicated adjusting warp pylons, and a commonality with the warp engine design with the nacelles of the Sovie/Promie/Nova---reflecting an updated engine design. Far from a super ship or a beauty queen, it's basically a recon scout that's cheaper to build than a standard Intrepid, offers more utility space and easier to maintain with less complexity. .
