Introducing the Joslin Class. This is a Galaxy class variant modified by Acid from the Original SNS galaxy. You may think that Acid has just continued his run with adding more warp nacelles onto ships. However I beg to differ.

To start off with the ship looks fairly menacing compared to the original Galaxy. Buit also the extra nacelles and englarged saucer give it a more gracious look when shes not in combat. The hull textures by scotchy are of course excellent but acid has tweaked the bumps and speculars which I believe has made a nice change. The deflector edited by acid is different, giving the Joslin that look of change. The only downside is that there is a section on the ventral side of the saucer which is slightly out of place. But in all fairness, no starship is perfect once they are out of the dock.

Getting onto the firepower. The forward weponry isnt quite what you would expect, having 2 main phaser points and 1 torpedo launcher. But the increased recharge rates mean that you can go nose to nose with a Romulan Warbird and not run away with half of your star drive missing, plus eventually destroy it without much hassel. The side and rear arnaments give the Joslin Class enough cover for another frontal attack and the hardpointing of these weapons overall is very good. From what iv been able to see there are no secondary phaser point flashes anywhere on the ship when firing.

Given that Acid has added a few hundred thousand tonnes to this vessel in the form of the nacelles the ship handles well, although if you want to make a quick get away i suggest making a head on pass and jumping to warp, because doing a 180 in this thing wont be a quick affair. Shields recharge at an acceptable rate, although if you are going up against something sizeably bigger than you, diverting power is the order of the day.

Acid has created a damage mesh for this vessel which i think is its best feature. Parts of the vessel do explode and if in the possble event that you do blow up. The resulting debris is quite impressive.

This is a stunning variant from acid. Well worth the Download. Just be sure that you have enough time considering the size of the File. None the less it is well worth the wait
