Notes:

The SCORPIO-class sees the return of a robust, compact, nimble and
versatile spaceframe.  It's a very flexible ship that can serve many
different roles. Very fast and maneuverable, with excellent sensors
and well armed, it's a very versatile vessel. The ship configuration is
suited for exploration and scientific missions and allows for great
flexibility during a mission. This class covers grounds that other
destroyers might not by offering a very well balanced compromise
between automation, crew needs, exploration capabilities and even
diplomatic mission capabilities.

The newer automatisms and improvements in distributed computer cores
make for better response times, more computer power and the need for
a smaller crew. This means taller decks, which reduces the number of
decks compared to older ships, however the living and working space
is not reduced, but even larger than that of older designs. The class
has 10 decks, each roughly 4 meters tall, with the bridge sitting on
deck 3. Scientific labs are ample and well prepared for the needs of
an exploration vessel.

The new ILN-70Xs nacelles have dedicated computer nodes to be able to
calculate the Warp bubble geometry tensor at triple the frequency and
almost ten times as precisely as older models, as well as a new system
of concentric Warp coils that greatly improve the thermal response of
the whole. This allows for faster speeds with less energy expenditure,
and longer Warp travels.

The new Radiation Phase Shields allow for much faster D-Warp speeds
than before. The gravitic-plane dyamic drive provides excellent
maneuverability and accelerations. The new generation of IDF generators
not only allow for greater accelerations, it integrates with the hull
itself, creating a reinforcing mesh embedded in the hull. This allows
for superb sublight performance.

The ship has 10 decks of roughly 4 meters each, although decks 1 and
2 are only available in the 'tail' section, and deck 10 is 6m tall
and contains most of the cargo space of the ship. There's an ample
cantine/bar called 6-Faces in the starboard forward section of deck
6. Deck 3 has the access to the bridge. The main Hangar bay faces
backwards, using decks 2 through 5, and it's split in two, although
it that can work as one if necessary. It harbors all crafts and the
Marines Country. In case of necessity, it can harbor a Runabout,
but it's a bad fit.

While not covered with ablative armor, parts of the hull are segmented
in scales, like real scorpions, and provide extra shielding in case of
need.
