@Blue Demonjust a few minor technical notes. I see you updated the OP with a few of my sugestions already :)
"Armaments: 6 type-VII phaser banks; 2 phaser cannons; 4 (Quantum) torpedo launchers"
The Miranda Class probabbly didnt have all 4 tubes converted to Quantum, maybe 1 or 2. Only, as far as i can tell, the Defiant and the Sovereign Classes were 100% Quantum by this point in the ST timeline.
"Auxiliary craft: 12 Class 2 Shuttle; 4 Type 18 shuttlecrafts; 1 Shuttlepod"
I see you used my recomendations, but the type 18 is a shuttlepod so no need for four of them and "1 shuttlepod". Oh and please bring back the work bee, I was looking forward to trying to find an excuse to fly it :p
