User:Kimagurena/Excelsior-B 2325 Refit Proposal

After playing around a bit, I managed this stat line as an, I think maximal, low-crew 2325 design. My previous primary design seemed to have hit a narrow target constrained on multiple sides, until I noticed an escape for the tight constraint on officers using the black magic of the T-1 impulse engine technology. This enabled a number of optimizations reducing refit costs to my present limit (on the design linked in the sidebar) of 75 BR 70 SR, an amount considerably more competitive with similar low crew super budget options designed by Alliterate.

Along the way,

I am uncertain if a further reduction in cost without further reducing the resulting stats is possible.

previous design], which seemed to have hit a narrow sweet spot to reach this stat line but was a rather expensive refit at 90 BR 85 SR.

The primary problem, as far as balancing this design went, came from the tight limits on demand for officers, needed both by heavy diplomatic components and by combat components. Among combat components, primary phasers are the worst crew hog; if we can forego them in favor of solely using secondaries designing for this stat line becomes considerably looser.

This] is my current best effort, dropping the refit cost to 80 BR 75 SR. Still, even if this design is permissible, I'm uncertain whether it is truly more desirable than the comparable super budget option proposed by Alliterate, given its refit cost of only 70 BR 60 SR for only slightly lower stats.
