Not only that, but it goes up to warp factor 22. Since there's no specification that the scale is readjusted, the ship apparently goes much faster than infinity...
And how can you go 119% of full impulse? Full impulse is, by definition, the fastest impulse speed you can do. So the ship goes faster than it's fastest speed?

Unless you define full impluse as an acceleration constant for all ships or something.

Oh, I'd agree that this ship is on overkill. Is it me, or is it implying that the Federation in the future becomes well...paranoid? I mean what kind of ship carries about 16,000 quantum torpedoes? Even the USS Defiant and the USS Enterprise-E doesn't carry maybe over over 300, well maybe 300 is max but over 300 much else 16,000 is too much. What if all of the defensive and offensive systems suffer a major system wide shutdown or failure? An enemy ship would just target the torpedo magazines with a few shots or the launchers themselves and that's it for the ship (That would happen if all the topedoes in the storage area are ready to be launched at anytime). That or target the warp drive system, such as the M/ARA core or the antimatter pods.

Um, guys, according to Captain Stark this info is replicated on a web site that sponsors a role-playing game.

Siegfried: I play Role Playing games. These are the ones you sit at a table with dice & rules, friends and pizza and spend and entertaining evening. SIMs seem to be for those who try to chaoticly boost their egos via email or chatrooms with hardly any rules or order. This is what I have observed on various internet and AOL SIM groups. When I saw these stats my first thoughts was "Yeup its a SIM group all right, these guys wouldn't know real roleplaying if it came up and bit them in the gagh." I guess what I'm trying to say is don't confuse real RPGs or RolePlaying with SIMs.
