Editing Ambassador Class (section)

==Technical Data==
The ''Ambassador'' class featured the saucer section-engineering section-warp nacelle layout common to most Starfleet vessels.  It was intermediate in size between the Excelsior and the Galaxy. The ship boasted at least three engineering levels.  It was armed with both phasers and photon torpedoes with coverage to both fore and aft firing arcs.  The control panels were flat-panel and LCARS based, using the interface introduced in the late 23rd century.   

Families were allowed aboard ''Ambassador'' class ships, but only if they were related to a Starfleet crewmember who had served on the ship exceeding six months.  

===Refits===

Several ''Ambassador'' class ships were seen with minor alterations from the original design.  The saucer section's connection to the engineering hull was shifted slightly aft, with the nacelle pylon assembly moved a corresponding distance in the same direction. Cowlings were added around the Bussard collectors, making them appear closer to that of the ''Galaxy'' class, while the impulse engine exhaust changed from a blue to a red glow.  The lower sensor dome became more elaborate and closer in appearance to the ''Excelsior'' class and the deflector dish was modified.  Finally, the width of the shuttlebay was increased and a second facility resembling that on the ''Excelsior'' class engineering hull was mounted directly underneath the original one.  Graphics were upgraded with the Starfleet insignia of the 2360s.The LCARS software was also upgraded to the standard interface of the late 24th century.
