OUTALANCE SHIPYARDS
Ashton Class Frigate
Federation Science Vessel



Owner: United Federation of Planets
Class: Medium Ship
Availability: Unlimited Deployment
In Service: 2303
Out of Service: 2369

The Ashton class science vessel is a variant of the Miranda which features an enlarged aft cargo and shuttlebay section, as well as two large outboard sensor pods located on the ventral saucer.
Ashton crafts are typically charged with long range exploration missions into uncharted territory or for longer tours of duty to complete the mapping of areas covered by other starships.
The ship has good shielding and good weaponry, including torpedo launchers on each wing and as a point never attempts to avoid combat with other ships.
The Ashton class Frigate was designed to serve as a replacement of the aging Oberth Science Vessel.
It was hoped that the Ashton would be able to take over the exploratory duties of both the Oberth and larger explorer ships, such as the Constellation.
The ship was adequate for the period it was introduced, but it did not take long for its limitations to manifest themselves, their impact being worth less than the value of their construction.
Ashton Class Frigates were withdrawn from service by 2369.

What a beautiful design!  And still looks like a military Starfleet ship at the same time!

Very nice work. Top notch modeling technique, as always.
