Ah, and here is another set of questions that a friend of mine (and fellow gamer/writer) wanted to know:

Are all four of the Miranada-class Light Cruisers of the same sub-type. There are four apparent sub-types of Miranda Cruisers in existance. Here they are so you don't have to go out and try to find them.

Type 1: The "Reliant" type. Basically, the Miranda-class is equipped with Pulse Phasers and this sub-type of the class removes them in favor of more science equipment. Usually used for long range missions.

Noteworthy ships: USS Reliant (NCC-1864), USS Miranda, USS Brattain (NCC-21166), USS Tian An Men (NCC-21382)

Type 2: The "Saratoga" type. Basically is the standard Miranda with the "Rollbar" and the attached systems removed. Usually used for normal Light Crusier duties (such as border patrol of inner planets)

Noteworthy ships: USS Saratoga (NCC-31911), USS Vigilant (NCC-33984).

Type 3: The "Lantree" type. This type removes both the "Rollbar" w/attached systems and the Pulse Phaser. This type is normally used for short-range science missions and planetary survey missions. It's also good for handling smugglers for some odd reasons.

Noteworthy ships: USS Lantree (NCC-1837)

Type 4: The Soyuz-class Heavy Crusier conversion. Basically, this type is the conversion package used to convert the standard Light Crusier into a ship designed for battle as well as science. Basically, you replace the rollbar with an enhanced aft sensor package which includes several functions and new systems. This type is normally used for long range combat missions, border patrols on the frontier and "Clipping" (not to sure on the meaning, possibly Megazone knows more than I do on this).

Noteworthy ships: USS Bozeman (NCC-1941)

Other ships in the Miranda-class is as follows: USS Andover, USS Brisban, and the USS Mondial.

Redneck, if you need any help with Starfleet or any other kind of Star Trek ship details, I'm at your service. But pretty much, my question is are all the Mirandas given to the CFMF all the same and can I captain one? (sorry, I captain the USS Ranger in my friends Star Trek RPG game and it's a Miranda Type 1, hence my question on captaining one..ah, forget it and tell me to shut up :))
