Okay, I decided to do this topic since I have a bunch of ships up in another thread, and they just keep comming.

I'll move over the ships I haven't modified since posting them after this, but here I thought I'd list most of the major tech changes betwen my ST and cannon ST.

*Edit: The ship rankings will be off slightly because of the following information. The torpedo firepower will be lower than it should be as will the warp, however they will be a good general reference point for the stregnth of my ships.

Warp:

I developed a new warp scale, wich to fit better with cannon trek I describe as comming forth with the discovery of a new warp plane or a new way to warp the space around the ship. The new formula is:

V/c = WF ^ (log8760)

This will put a vessel moving at WF = 10 with a speed of 1 Light Year Per Hour (LYPH)

Wepons:

Torpedoes:

Although I can't pin it down in Cannon Trek here an Isoton is 10,800 TJ in stregnth

Photon Torpedo: Cannon + 25 Isotons
Quantom Torpedo: Cannon + 52.3 Isotons
Transphasic Torpedo: Cannon (unknown)

Teslic Torpedo: Uses a Quantom torpedo with a Magneton/Anti Magneton pre-detonator to create an EM rift that can destablize ship board power systems if the torpedoe is close enough. 48.3 Isotons

Alpha-Class (A-Class): In essence a Teslic Torpedo with Transphasic technology incorperated. 52.925 Isotons

Delta-Class (D-Class): Still working on this Torpedo, just know it's really really powerful and isn't carried by exploration/science vessels. It's going to start screwing up some fundimental stuff around your ship. 85.7 Isotons.

Those are the only major changes. I'll now start transferring over ships and updating them.

*EDIT: Because I've been getting into the politcal changes in the Galaxy during the turn of the century, I thought I'd post my own Galactic Map:



I'm not sure how clear the numbering will be but if you can see it here's the run down:
1. United Federation of Planets (UFP)
2. Bajoran-Cardassian Union (BCU)
3. Romulan Star Empire (RSE)
4. Klingon Empire (KE)
5. Disscuss Domain (DD)*
6. Jacorn Confederation (JC)
7. Kazon Imperium (KI)*
8. Deltic Union (DU)*
9. Voth
10. Borg
11. Dominion (D)

here's a close up on the major powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, same numbering system:

Adaptoid Class
The Adaptoid is a unique class of ship, in that the motivation for the program came from within the Admiralty. In 2384 William T. Riker was promoted to Admiral and took over Starfleet Intelligence, and the Intelligence Fleet. Unsatisfied with the reports, and the intelligence gathering method being deployed, Riker began pushing for a new starship program that would redefine the meaning of interstellar espionage. In 2386 he was finally rewarded with the approval to begin designs for a new Intelligence craft.
Riker enlisted the aid of Starfleet R&D, and kept the project very secretive. They remained in the designing stage for six months before finally coming to an agreement. After this, Riker gained access to an exclusive shipyard near Polaris to construct his ship. Huge shipments of supplies were shipped to the yard where construction began. It took almost nineteen months before the first prototype was ready, and before the ship made it out of the system, Riker slashed the ship and ordered it destroyed and the ship reconstructed, this time to work. After another two years in 2390 the final ship design came off the lines this one impressing all, including Riker.
The ship is just under 50% cargo space, and almost 90% of that is filled with high-density replicator material for use when reconfiguring the hull. The crew is compressed into a dozen rooms when transformations are occurring because the ship will move the hull, and on occasion use it as raw replicator material as well.
The ship construction time has dropped to just fewer than five a year. And there are now seventy-five ships in service. The construction yards were moved from Polaris in 2390 to a remote and unknown location.

Franklin Class
10 decks
368m x 288m x 50m
287 crew
43 officers

Type XI Phasers
1 x Pulse Fire Quantom Torpedoes

High Power SIF

Warp 22 Capability.

The Franklin Class was designed c. 2391 to replace older ships being used as diplomatic curriors/Negotiation vessels. It is equiped to be the top Federation luxery liner, and to be the chief diplomatic vessel. It has three large negotiation rooms, each equipped with a full array of holo emmitters, to generate any physical/enviromental need.

The Franklin Class was also designed to act as the unofficial brain of fleet battles. It is equipped with a large Battle Bridge*. This bridge is seperate from the ship's bridge and allows the Head of the fleet instant/real-time locations and conditions of his fleet and issue orders accordingly.

*Thank's for the Idea Teaos!

The Squorpion Class was designed and built c. 2393 to replace the Sovereign Class in it's battle leading position as modern technology was rendering it unfit to be a true battle cruiser. The ship was designed to combat mainly Battle Ships/Battle Stations, and slower Battle Cruisers. The engineering hull was placed over the Saucer so the deflector would be able to better push away spacial matter while performing maneuvers, and to more easily seperate should the need arise during battle.

I see Staplic is making ready use of his "Squorpian" word now.

Perhaps the dictionary should be amended

The Solar Class was put into production c. 2397. It was designed as the first true Federation fraightor. Instead of utilizing civillian freightors, or weighing down battle convoies with extra supplies, this ship was designed to transport supplies, and gear where in needs to be when it needs to be there. It's designers also equipped the cargo hull to seperate. The Ship is then able to hook up to large sections of space stations and take them to their assembling point.

I should probably change it...na, It's my universe.

I'll also use this post to say that for all those fans of my earlier ships you may be dissappointed. The following programs were scraped:
Premiere Class
Survival Class
Einstein Class
Hubbell Class
Plato Class
possably the Polyrin pending a refit to the designes.

Sok'Cha Class (Klingon Imperial Vessel)
Battle Cruiser
(720m x 780m x 60m)

By 2401, the Klingon High Command is beginning to realize the deficit they are in power wise. Many of the nearby stellar powers including the docile Federation have begun fielding much stronger ships, while he Klingons have relied mainly on the Vor'cha, and Negh'var classes since the Dominion War. Now however they felt the need for a new warship. Rather than simply resizing either class as normal, instead they go back to the proverbial drawing board to create a new style of cruiser incorporating all of the recently developed technology.

In 2405, a finalized design was created, using the best technologies known to the Klingon Empire. Recorces previously spent on BoP, and other oder warships still inservice was haulted to provide appropriate materials and funding to the Sok'Cha class.
It took two and a half years to successfully construct te ship, and in 2408 the KIV Hek'Vaugh warped into combat to expand the empire.

*note because I'm lazy I haven't changed the pic but the actual designs incorporate wings that are much thicker, jic any one has any more problems with that, it's been handled.

RSE Devroar Class
The Romulan's were changing. For the first time they were removing the shroud of secrecy that had guarded their boarders for over a century. They were not however, ready to join the federation or make a fool-hearty alliance with them. With the senate opening up more and more to become more active in intergalactic affairs, the Tal'shiar became much more ruthless in its intelligence operations. They began to see the advantages of a more diversified fleet as well. While employing the D'Derix, and Valdor Classes, as the main ships of the fleet, the Tal'shiar sought to create another more powerful ship to fight the Federation and Klingons, and control the factions of the empire.
The Devroar Program was established to meet these ends soon after the Reman uprising. Its first goal was to develop new technologies to prepare the ship against the battles to come. It experimented with several wepons systems, propulsion systems, shield systems, armor systems, and their cloaking technology. They were able to catch up to many of the advancements in the Federation, but not all of them. They created a new power system more reliable than using a quantum singularity, but somehow just as powerful, intelligence on this device remains limited. They also were able to greatly increase the power of their disruptor cannons, and develop the quantum torpedo. They also were able to duplicate the Cloaking device fielded by the insurgent Remans, and are now capable of sustaining warp, shields, and wepons fire under the cloak.
The Ship designs were completed in 2387, and resources were acquitted from the science ships to build the prototype ship. Intelligence indicates that in 2390 a failed attempt at integrating the nacelles into the ship caused the program to be halted. However, in 2392, after the Romulan's caught word of the Federations new battleship, the program was reinitiated. In 2397 the RSE Devroar powered its way out of the shipyards eager to prove its loyalty and value to the Romulan senate and people.

Eaton Class
A Marine Transit and fighting ship was a hot topic starting in 2383 with the founding of the United Federation of Planets Marine Corps. Starfleet, however, overlooked the design proposals and other suggestions for the ship in favor of other ship Classes. In 2385 however, Starfleet Command did commission the Teaos Type Intrepid Class, originally developed for the transport of a regiment of marines into the Gamma Quadrant. The idea of an individual Marine ship was almost scrapped all together in 2356 with the huge success of the Teaos Types in transporting the troops. If it hadn't been for a small confrontation with the Cardassians, it probably would have. In 2388 A brief conflict with the Cardassians called for an invasion of a boarder planet by the Marines. Three Regiments were sent in to capture the planet. However before they could reach the surface, a fleet of Galor's stationed at the Planet opened fire on the incoming Intrepid's tearing them apart.
Starfleet then approved the Eaton Program as a replacement for the Teaos Type. The ship was mandated to have heavy defenses and its armament was designed to punch a hole in enemy blockades. With this in mind the designers set out to create a ship that would meet those requirements as well as be able to form a blockade of their own and defend a planet. They also incorporated two large shuttle bays around the saucer, one above, one below, for better launching points for both fighters and drop ships. Also built in was a separable section of the drive section which would land on a planet and act as the invasion base. It was outfitted with a lot of cargo space and exterior hatches to carry and unload tanks and other artillery.
The USS Eaton emerged from the Marine Space dock on Triton in 2398. So far 10 ships have been produced and three have seen active combat: the USS Eaton, USS Bravo, and USS Echo.

Semper Fi Attack Fighter
Designed in conjunction with the Eaton Program the Semper Fi Attack fighter is designed to supplement the ships armament, by distracting and drawing enemy fire upon invasion, as well as in defense. The ship is highly maneuverable and relatively heavily armed and defended making it a perfect Marine fighter.

Amphibi Drop Ship
Emerging just prior to the Eaton Program the Amphibi saw some action on the Teaos Types. Designed to protect and transport Marines from space onto a planet's surface during active combat and/or into strategic locations, the Amphibi Drop ship has heavy defenses and a large cargo capacity. The armament on the Amphibi is limited because the designers wanted to limit power plant size in favor of cargo and the ship can only power three Type VI phasers and a single torpedo tube.

Continental Class
The Continental Class was designed to eventually replace the Galaxy Class. The Class originally met opposition in Starfleet Command before the Dominion War as they didn't see the need to replace the Federations Flagship. Once the War started, the Continental program was given the green light because the Galaxy was blowing up almost instantly once in battle. The program had just got going, when it was stopped due to new refit designs to give the Galaxy. The Program was almost ready to be scrapped when they Galaxy refit displayed the same tendency to blow up as the original, even if it did have more fire power. The Continental program started by refurbishing the designs with all of the newest technology. The design was approved by Command, and the ship went into production. It never saw any action however as the USS Continent rolled off the line in late 2376 to late to partake in the war.
As it stands now, the Continental is labeled as a Multi-purpose vessel and is equipped to do so. It has high luxury VIP suites and diplomatic capability. It has enough cargo space to freight supplies, or to carry it into deep space for long periods, and it's armament is apt for a light to medium cruiser.

Churchill Class
By 2387 The Romulans were again becoming aggressive. Brief negotiations after the Shinzon rebellion had temporarily forged an alliance and gave the federation the ability to work with cloaking technology, but a new Praetor came to power in 2386, who was not friendly to the Federation. Many began to fear a Romulan invasion of Federation space. Many species, lead by the Andorians began petitioning for a Battleship that could smite the enemy on sight. These were widely ignored by Starfleet command until Andoria threatened Succession if they didn't act.
Hence in 2388 the Federation initiated Project Breadbasket. Teams of Engineers, R&D scientists, tactical officers, and Admiral Sisko convened on Titan to begin discussion of the ship design. At first many suggested simply increasing the wepons and defensive systems of the Sovereign Class, but this idea was thwarted when the R&D scientists exposed some of the new wepons systems that were to be placed on the ship. Finally in 2390, the design was finalized creating a large sleek, heavily armed and defended ship, that on paper could hang with every ship fielded by almost all powers.
In 2390, Project Breadbasket gained access to the Polaris experimental Shipyards to begin construction. The USS Churchill took 21 months of continuous construction before she rolled out of the system, as the most powerful ship Starfleet had yet created.
There are now 80 Churchill class ships in the Defense fleet and Production has slowed as there is no immediate threat to the Federation, however there is still at least one hidden shipyard reserved for Churchill production.

I'm guessing transphasic torpedoes are catching on rather quickly, then.

I don't know if you care about such things, but the Churchill, at least, violates one of Roddenberry's rules of design. And is that a baby-size fourth nacelle slung under the engineering hull?
