User:The Sandman/2331 Ambassador Refit Proposal

While the base Ambassador design may be less than a decade old by 2331, the development of a number of key technologies allows for its refit into a notably superior ship, albeit with somewhat of a pricetag. As a new build, however, the Ambassador-A is flatly superior to its predecessor, and slightly cheaper in regard to SR.

An alternative design is also available], costing an additional 15br 20sr as a refit or an additional 20br 20sr as a new build, as well as an additional +1OET. In exchange, all stats but H have been raised to 12 from the 11 of the more conservative design.
