U.S.S. Demeter - Refit

These are the plans for refitting the U.S.S. Demeter, registry number NCC-91002, sometime in future.

Reasons for the Refit
As mentioned in the earlier article about the U.S.S. Demeter itself, the ship is more than a hundred years old. The minor adjustments that have been made earlier made it possible to put the ship back on duty and to use it for fleet purposes. However, on the journeys Commander Tyr Reed and his Crew made, it turned out that the equipment onboard, even though updated, often was not adequate. Two issues that turned out to become bigger problems than expected were, firstly, the old insufficient EPS Power Grid that neither allowed Holo Systems nor modern bioneural computer circuitry onboard - and secondly, the inability of the ship to go to speeds beyond Warp 5.

Technical Details of the Refit
The refit is meant to be a sweaping swipe.

Though the size of the ship will remain the same, both exterior and interior will be changed to adapt todays needs.

The new technical systems will include
 * A new Matter/Antimatter Warpcore and Nacelles, allowing the ship to speed up to Warp 9;
 * An EPS Power Grid Mark X
 * Bioneural Computer Systems along with experimental Borg Algorithms developed by Tyr Reed as he was stationed at the Daystrom Institute for Advanced Computing
 * Two Photon Torpedo Launchers (Front)
 * Two Phaser Banks (Front)
 * One Photon Torpedo Launchers (Rear)
 * One Phaser Bank (Rear)
 * Ablative Hull Armour around vital parts of the hull
 * Reinforced inner structure
 * Emergency Force Fields instead of bulkheads
 * Multi-Frequency Shields - Variant: The Emitters do not form a shield bubble but a close-fitting shield
 * 25th Century Console Interfaces
 * A new High-Frequency Deflector Dish
 * Modern Sensor arrays
 * The ability to retrofit transwarp coils if needed
 * An EMH System in Sickbay
