It quickly became evident that a medium-sized ship of 300 to 450 crew would be the platform suited best. To avoid the mass and energy consumption that comes along with a third nacelle to shape the subspace field for scanning purposes, the FEYNMAN class uses a variable warp nacelle geometry, based on a two nacelle design. It also uses the minimum reflectance surface for minimal background noise, making the ship appear black from most view angles, as well as the thruster control system used on it's bigger cousin. The ship's saucer section is somewhat elongated with a more streamlined arrowhead appearance to facilitate a more efficient warp bubble at higher warp speeds, while the engineering section is resembling the shape of the EXCELSIOR-class design, with the difference of the variable and shorter warp nacelles. The hull allows an emergency separation but cannot reassemble in space. There is no Captain's yacht to allow the bottom of the saucer section to be shaped for optimum deflector use. The auxiliary shuttlebay goes forward. Details on the modification: The variable nacelle geometry is not explicitly required for warp drive, but serves the purpose of stabilizing and refining the warp field for the main delphi array which is operating on subspace frequencies during warp. When operating in a different configuration it can serve to increase warp field efficiency (greatly reducing the sensor efficiency) at high speed to optimze energy consumption and effectively increasing speed. The low reflectance surface is reducing sensor ghosts of all kinds, making scans more accurate and providing additional passive protection against being scanned. To compensate for this in non-hostile encounters, the protocols have been modified to allow to provide beacons for own and friendly vessels. History: The Feynman class is named in honor of the twentieth century Nobel prize winning physicist/philosopher/teacher, Richard P. Feynman, whose simple but elegant demonstration of O Ring failure during the Challenger hearings lead to improved standards of safety for early earth spacecraft. He is also considered one of the fathers of Nanotechnology; an award named is his honor has been given since the late twentieth century. In October 2405 the project approval was received. A rescaled version of the DELPHI Array began construction. In May 2406 the keel was laid, and the actual construction on the primary hull began. In June 2406 the nacelle construction began. August 2406 saw the joinging of primary and secondary hulls and the installation of the DELPHI array began. In September 2406 the installation of the remaining communication, navigation systems and computer core followed. October 2406 the Warp Drive was tested, followed by finishing the installation of the rescaled DELPHI array in November, and its calibration and test in December 2406. In January 2407 the construction was completed and the ship commissioned for system evaluation as NX-66000 USS Feynman. The original design of the FEYNMAN class by Armin Lenz and Kelli Belden.
