Standard configuration
Edit
The vessels crewed 10, with space to carry 4 marine troops for deployment. Additionally, the Snipe was loaded with a single standard personnel transporter and also a single tractor beam. A berth for one Romulan shuttlecraft was standard to these vessels.
The basic Snipe (Snipe "A" configuration) had a plasma torpedo launcher and two phaser emitters. The vessels were defended by standard deflector shields. In most cases, a cloaking device was outfitted.
Snipe-AR configurationEdit
The "AR" configuration of stardate 2265.0 was essentially identical to the standard Snipe "A", with minor differences in armament. Specifically, the "AR" had an additional two rear phasers.
Snipe-B battle frigate configurationEdit
Introduced on stardate 2279.0, the "B" configuration was a battle frigate essentially identical to the standard Snipe, with some differences in armament. In particular, the Snipe had two additional wing mounted plasma launchers.
Snipe-P police frigate configurationEdit
The Snipe "P" police frigate configuration of stardate 2250.0 was a modification designed to give the ship enhanced power management, with the removal of the standard cloaking device.
Snipe-P+ advanced police frigate configurationEdit
The Snipe "P+" police frigate configuration of stardate 2250.0 was a modification designed to give the ship enhanced power management, with the removal of the standard cloaking device and a low-power phaser system.
