Well, guess what. The Molson-class is back! I spent my free time (and, man, is there a lot of it) doing some diagrams, writing specs, and such. So, I now present to you, the Molson-class, longer, louder, and uncut!

The Molson-class light cruiser was designed with scientific survey in mind. The ship has an impressive array of long- and short- range sensors, that can detect the heading on a NewsPADD from orbit. The Molson-class was based on the Olympic-class platform, using the command sphere and four warp nacelles. The ship is powered by a new type of M/ARA that will enhance engine efficency and fuel. Like many ships of it's lineage, the Molson can deactivate one pai of nacelles and operate off of the other pair. Once these are worn out, they are turned off and the ither pair are put into use. This gives the ship an impressive standard cruise speed of Warp Factor 9. In an emergency, all four nacelles can produce their maximum power output and power the ship ata a steady Warp Factor 9.95 for twenty hours. Another feature of the Molson-class is the pod. The pod that is generally in place is the sensor pod that gives the Molson it's impressive long-range sensor array. Other pods include a weapons pod and a hanger pod for carrying Peregrine-class couriers.
