Number of Torpedo-Launchers
- Earlier discussion on torpedo launchers at Talk:Nebula_class/Torpedo_Launchers
According to the Star Trek Communicator #154, the Nebula-class has one torpedo-launcher to the front and one to the back and not just one, as the article says. Instead, there is only one in the equippment-module, which, as a matter of fact, is not neccessarily a sensor-module but does have sensor palets (again, according to the Star Trek Communicator). - Perth
Ship Type
Are Nebulas really explorers? They seem too small to be explorers. They could be a light explorer, but I think that shes probably a Medium Crusier, based on the amount of them in starfleet. Explorers are typically built in smaller numbers. If someone could explain where they have been called explorers before, that would be great. Otherwise, it should be reclassified as a Medium Crusier. -- BMS 04:22, 13 Sep 2004 (CEST)

- Is that also the source for the mass, crew, max speed, etc? If so, it should be mentioned on the page somewhere --Gvsualan 19:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Speculation
- The Nebula class starship is a modest ship. These ships were built as an inexpensive solution due to the high costs associated with the Galaxy class. The Nebula class ship was like the Galaxy in many ways, but weapons are weaker. The ship's hull is centered in the saucer section. This trait makes the ship more manueverable than the Galaxy class. Some Nebula class ships are not equiped with weapons. Nebula class ships have participated in many Federation conflicts including Battle of Wolf 359, the attempted invasion of Earth in 2373, and other minor Alpha Quadrant conflicts. Nebula class ships have participated in the Dominion War. It's rumored that many Nebula class starships exist.
-...is what I moved here from the page, cause it seems to be speculation. That last sentence certainly catches the eye. - AJHalliwell 01:23, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)
On the saucer section
As I just noticed, and have noticed the past while, some people do get confused and think the Nebula class utilizes a Galaxy class saucer. This is both right and wrong, let me explain. The overall shape and size of the actual saucer is the same size as a Galaxy class. However, the Nebula class features less crew quarters than that of a Galaxy class (In most versions). Additionally, Nebula class Bridges and corridors are totally different than those of Galaxy classes. So overall, Nebulas may have a similiar saucer to that of Galaxys (Or is that Galaxies...interesting), but they aren't the same. - Adm. Enzo Aquarius 01:38, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- When I posted that it was the same as the Galaxy class saucer, I meant the same width, not the same saucer. Because the saucer width is the widest part of both the Nebula and Galaxy class, shouldn't we update the listing on the Nebula page? It keeps getting reverted. HaganeNoKokoro 01:58, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- I must emphasize that we should not use the widths from the non-canon specs in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual -- please do not add data to this article from the DS9 Tech Manual -- even though it is created by the production staff the data within is not derived from the show, and seems incorrect. The best bet for figuring the size of the Nebula class would be to use the sizes of the Galaxy or Nebula class vessels that were actually established in dialogue or seen/used onscreen --Captain Mike K.

- Which is why I want to change the current listed width. 318m is from the DS9 tech manual and, by all evidence, isn't right.
