BRAD'S COMMENTS:
Ugh! An ugly design that never made any aesthetic sense to me! It's
almost like they took a saucer off a
Constellation class vessel, chopped it in
half and stretched it out like the leaves in a dining room table, and then stuck
two warp engines on it. I've hated the looks of this class since the first
day I read the UFP Recognition Manual.
Luckily, the class plays a lot better
than it looks. The Mark V Brenton is about as potent as a
Reliant
(Miranda) class cruiser, and it has been my experience that the Brenton is a
little better off than the Reliant as an offensive weapon, mainly because the
Brenton has more torpedo tubes and phaser banks. Superstructure is very
good, and the shielding system is also good. Along with the
Enterprise and
Reliant classes, the Brenton is actually one of the most playable cruisers in
the FASA Federation inventory.
From the FASA Star Trek FEDERATION SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL, circa 1985
Brenton Class XI Cruiser
