Notes:
The GOTO-class Cruiser is the latest iteration of a long and proud
line of starships, starting with the SOVEREIGN-class. While its
spaceframe resembles that of a KIROV mark IV, being just a little
bigger, the internals have been revamped to the latest technologies
and facilities for long range missions and diplomatic encounters.
This is the first capital ship to include the new generation V D-Warp
engine, which coupled with the new Shield Radiation Phase System,
allows for extremely high D-Warp speeds and improved gravitic plane
drive sublight system performance: as of now, the GOTO-class is
the fastest and most maneuverable CA in service, far superior to
anything else.
The main design points when Starfleet Engineering set to improve on
the KIROV-class were advanced exploration traits and First Contact
situations, and improved team abilities. To create a Vanguard Explorer,
the GOTO-class not only has more independence and range than any
other cruiser, but it incorporates the latest advancements in the
ORACLE sensor array, backported from the AUGUR systems. Sensors are
more powerful in resolution and with greater reach, enhanced with
the latest iteration of the SESR ORACLE modules, with more powerful
computer cores. While it's not intended to substitute a Commande
Cruiser, the GOTO-class is ready to become the coordinator in a
joint effort, with the inclusion of enhanced communications and
tactical systems.
The main goal of the GOTO-class ships is to be StarFleet and UFP
ambassadors to new and strange worlds, presenting the best and
brightest of what we can offer. As such, they are considered consular
ships, with a full Consular entourage, fully qualified for any First
Contact encounters that might occur. One extra Runabout has been
added and prepped as a Consular vessel.
GOTO-class CA ships are to be named after an ASR player who's been
recognized special honors in the RT. Registry numbers reflect the
Stardate of the RT and there's an additional bit to indicate if they
are given posthumously (00) or not (01). The name of the ship is the
surname of the first fallen player to be recorded, in recognition of
their hard work and long lasting legacy.
This is the list of current GOTO-class starships, to be amended
as necessary:
- USS Coffman, NCC-011004 in honor to D'Maris Coffman (1998)
- USS Fontaine, NCC-011008 in honor to Christine Fountaine (1998)
- USS Goto, NCC-001504 in honor to Masako Goto (2003)
- USS Rickards, NCC-001604 in honor to Greg Rickards (2004)
- USS Fainges, NCC-002904 in honor to Karen Fainges (2017)
- USS Murphy, NCC-003504 in honor to Sean Murphy (2023)
- USS Jenkins, NCC-013510J in honor to Jeff Jenkins (2023)
- USS Lusby, NCC-013510L in honor to Scott Lusby (2023)
We (ASR as a whole) are profoundly grateful to these players and want
to inmortalize their contributions the best way we know of.

KIROV notes:
The SOVEREIGN class starship was first launched in 2372 as an
alternative to the popular GALAXY-class variations of the time. The
class first proved itself during an invasion attempt by the Borg in
efforts to assimilate Earth in 2373, when the USS ENTERPRISE-E was
successful in holding off the BORG cube allowing the Federation fleet
to regroup. The cube was ultimately destroyed securing a place with
Starfleet for the SOVEREIGN class starship.
The KIROV class is the first major modification of the SOVEREIGN class
vessels. While few visible alterations are evident when comparing the
external design and structure of the two classes, (The KIROV being
slightly bigger), there are a number of internal changes.
Based on advancements in sensor technology gained in the development of
the AUGUR system (still found only in the TSYKLON class), the systems
of the old SOVEREIGN have been upgraded in a successful attempt to
provide increased range and improved resolution. In addition, the
computer, shield and weapon systems of the aging SOVEREIGN were refit
to reflect the current standard for heavy cruisers in active service.
The Mark II KIROV incorporates the newer Type XI extended-range phaser
systems, making the KIROV batter able to disable targets at a distance.
The Mark III KIROV adds gravitic planing sublight drive systems.
The Mark IV design included redesigned to the secondary hull to
increase the defensive drone capacity to match later heavy cruiser
designs. Using further enhancements to sensor and computer core
technology, a substantial redesign and refit of the computer core
system has allowed for the incorporation of the new Oracle II sensor
suite.
This class is by far not the most fierce of the Heavy Cruisers;
but with a standard and maximum cruise of 7.0 and 9.4 respectively,
the KIROV class is the fastest heavy cruiser in active service. She
is among the largest of the cruiser designs still in service. This
gives her a longer range and broader multi-mission capability than
some of the newer designs.

Russian naval vessels. A few suggested are:
