Deck Plans: Oberth Class Deck Plans

Offensive Systems

4 Phaser Banks (2 Emitters Each)
1 Photon Torpedo Launcher

Weapons systems and shields are given extensive upgades, when the reactor is power running even at warp speeds after being refit the ships shields and weapons allow for a bomber-support role in combat. The ship is less maneuverable than the Refit NX Class, but can take more punishment in combat. The ship only possesses a rear torpedo launcher which it uses to launch low-speed high yield warheads at targets as the ship passes at warp velocities.

Defensive Systems

Deflector Shields
Phasing Cloak (Cannot use Warp Drive while cloaked)

Auxiliary Spacecraft / Bays

1 Shuttle Craft
1 Main Shuttle Bay
2 Cargo Access Bays

-There are a lot of inconsistencies where this class vessel is concerned.  An excellent write-up about them is posted at  [http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/oberth-size.htm Ex Astris Scientia].  The author does a very good job of detailing the size inconsistencies and how they were resolved for his site.  I use this as a guideline for my own write-up on the design here.
