I had a question on the Federation CVO just out of curiosity.

I remember first seeing this ship in Supplement #1 years ago and when I got back into FC / SFB I found out the ship no longer "officially" exists.

I was curious about the reason.

Was the ship unbalanced/broken in some way?
Was such a large ship with only 2 very large warp engines incongruous?
I think I remeber that it only had a move cost of 1. Perhaps that was part of the reason since it was such a large ship?
etc.

Thanks!

It was removed because in F&E all other races could convert a CVA from a DN, except for the Feds. So a new DN-based CVA was created to make the Fed fleet design like all the others.

You can still find it in Stellar Shadows Journal #1.

Thanks for the quick response!

That makes sense.

I had a miniature of it back in the 80s and I was thinking of getting another in my next miniature purchase just because it is such a pretty ship. So that sparked the question.
