Its three decks provide a well-organized layout to accommodate the various essential systems and crew needs. Starting with the first deck, we have the engine room, which houses the heart of the vessel's propulsion system. The engine room is equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems, incorporating advanced algorithms and automated diagnostics to maximize performance and safety. Moving down to the second deck, we find the central hub of the ship. This level is home to the bridge, where the crew operates and navigates the STINGRAY. The bridge is equipped with advanced sensor arrays, including long-range scanners, subspace detectors, and enhanced communication systems, allowing the crew to gather crucial data and maintain contact with other vessels or mission control. Additionally, there is a transporter room on this deck, to facilitate rapid personnel and cargo transportation. The crew quarters, also situated on the second deck, provide a functional yet comfortable living space for the explorers on long-duration missions. Though minimalistic in nature, they are optimized for space utilization and equipped with personal storage units to accommodate personal belongings and equipment. Continuing to the third deck, we find a multifunctional area dedicated to storage, replication, and recycling systems. Advanced storage modules are integrated, utilizing compact and efficient design principles to maximize capacity for provisions, spare parts, and scientific equipment. The replication system, although limited to a single unit, employs advanced molecular synthesis techniques, allowing the crew to fabricate essential items or components when necessary. While the STINGRAY places a strong emphasis on functionality and practicality, it does sacrifice some luxuries to achieve its primary objectives. The vessel does not feature a holodeck or holosuit, which are typically found on larger starships, due to space limitations and power consumption considerations. Instead, the mid-deck includes a compact exercise space. In terms of amenities, the ship features a single replicator located within a small mess hall. However, the focus remains on essential sustenance, as luxury items are sacrificed in favor of extended range and the inclusion of a dimensional warp drive. Embarking on a mission aboard the STINGRAY requires a unique breed of explorer—someone willing to trade some creature comforts for the opportunity to venture into the unknown, driven by curiosity and the thirst for discovery. The vessel's compact yet powerful design, coupled with its range capabilities and dimensional warp drive, make it an ideal choice for those bold enough to explore uncharted territories and push the boundaries of space exploration. The experimental USS MAKO refit has been provided with the latest version of the D-Warp drive that's more efficient in power consumption, thus making D-Warp travel for smaller ships more convenient. In addition, the ship has been fitted with a version of the new Scattering Radiation Phase Shielding system, retrofitted from the Sentinel-class, which provides a new layer of security while on D-Warp by actually redirecting hyperspace wave energy into creating additional radiation shielding for the crew. This allows for even faster flight while on D-Warp up to 0.75c, which is considerably faster than before. This model also improves on the gravitic plane drive, allowing for smoother operation, more efficient accelerations and outstanding maneuverability. Lastly, the ship's biogel neural network has been upgraded, increasing the bandwidth between the computer cores and the sensor arrays, greatly increasing the sensors ability for scanning and resolving data. The most up-to-date designs for long range sensors have been packed into the small spaceframe, both passive and active, increasing the effective detection distance and also improving the resolution power of the sensors. In addition to this, it carries a new model of wireless mini-SESR, with a highly robust and reliable subspace tactical data link system. The new model communicates with the ship via encrypted data link in bursts, allowing for the ship tractor beam to work in short bursts and maximizing the sensing time while giving more liberty on where and how to deploy it. If this version proves successful, it will be deployed throughout the ship. This module is housed in the rear of the secondary hull, which explains the overall increase in size of the spacecraft. Finally, the phaser cannons sited on the nacelles have need retired to make space for the better long range sensors, and a type XI phaser strip has been installed at the prown. This provides better overall defense to the ship while reducing the punching power.
