Since the Admiralty Edition has changed the way we think about starships, I think it's time to update the Drake Notation for the Bourbaki Basin.

in general, the less information on the card, the better, except where defaults are concerned (then I'd like to see them spelled out like ST:X i.e. ROF 1 would be explicitly identified rather than assumed)

Here goes, whaddya think?
[EDIT] to bring into compliance with the Starmada SE Drake Notation [/EDIT]
