User:Swb/2325 Excelsior Refit Proposal

An Excelsior-B refit proposal. It (but also all other proposals) is sure to cost a mountain of SR. Maybe even a literal mountain. However, it proposes one of the best statlines for the venerable Excelsior-class and promises an Excelsior-C refit with Isolinear Computing and possibly Quantum Torpedoes in the future.

The reason to go with a 2325 refit is that it will enter refit production in 2326. Even if the earliest possible Heavy Cruiser / Light Explorer design is started (in 2325), it will take 5 years to research and prototype at minimum. That means entering full production 2331. A 2325 Excelsior-B can use our 2mt and 2.5mt berths to complete most of the refit by 2331 without getting in the way of Heavy Cruiser mass production.

Refit Cost: 80BR 85SR +1E +1T
