USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A

Ship / class history:
The design of the USS Enterprise-A was one of the last Constitution class designs. Like in every class of ship the last design is the best one because all the bugs from the former versions are known and most of them could be removed (this is how it should be). The NCC-1701-A has been built after the destruction of the refitted NCC-1701 in order to keep on with the tradition of the ships named Enterprise. Soon it became obvious that the Enterprise-A had been built overhasted. The warp drive was the best available at this time but a ship doesn´t only consist of a warpcore. Most of the doors didn´t open the Turbolifts malfunctioned and even the captain's log made big problems. However the NCC-1701-A stayed one of the best ships Starfleet had to offer (the Excelsior class consisted of only one ship at this time) and proved to be very capable on several missions. Today, the NCC-1701-A can be seen in the Starfleet museum.
