Thufir class   ●   Destroyer

ne more "Andorian" style ship for the pile of similar ships; I re-drew the design in 2008 at the request of someone from the BBS.  Overall, this proved to be one of the tougher re-draws I have done, simply because the original forward, side, and top-down views didn't agree with one another very well.  As with so many TMP-type Federation ships from FASA, the original lifts a lot from the TMP-era Enterprise.  I kept the nacelles and bridge and sensor modules at same-scale from the TMP-Constitution Refit, but free-drew the rest.   Several additions had to be made, most notably the placement of a shuttle hangar (the aft structure on the dorsal saucer view seemed the most logical site for this) and incorporation of impulse decks at the aft ends of each secondary bi-hull unit.  The vertical surfaces of the bi-hulled engineering sections also needed "window decorating" and I added some standard circular pod/gangway hatched, which had been totally absent before.  Finally,the wing-like sponsons seemed a natural home for not only torpedo tubes, but the phaser banks as well; otherwise I attempted to remain as true to the original as I could, with a little artistic license.
        The original FASA ship performs pretty well during game play thanks to its strong power--on the Mk II--and its torpedoes.  Like the Larson, this ship does okay by itself against really old Romulan cruisers and really old Klingon destroyers/cruisers.  Against more modern and tougher competition these ships work best in groups.  Shields are not as strong as they could be, but you won't care because you'll need the juice for phasers.
        Because of its relative modernity, I statted out three additional models, for inter-series play, post-Kirk.
        One final note.  Is it just me, or is this class named after the House Atreides mentat?  Can't be a coincidence!
