BRAD'S COMMENTS:  Underpowered, undergunned, underwhelming.  A glorified gunboat?  Never used it much, though it does look cool.  Like most other small craft, its value would be doubled if it had at least one torpedo weapon.  As it stands, this thing gets chopped down faster in a firefight than just about any other Klingon scout.  They should have called it the "Target Practice" class!
