Changes

Like the Beckett-class, the Vesta-class differed from its forebears by returning to a predominantly Array-based Phaser system, creating greater coverage of fire. The number of Torpedo Launchers was reduced to four, but technological advances allowed these tubes to rapid-fire torpedoes rather than being forced to risk "stacking" them in the launch chamber. The final addition was the inclusion of two Type-G cannons in the ship's bow, the multi-function weapons enabling the ship to destroy incoming torpedoes, while also granting it the firepower to punch through any blockade with ease.
