The USS Carter in game terms
All the ships of the Champollion class had the Edge of System Enhancement - Sensors and the flaw of Design Defect - Sensors. The refitted USS Carter has neither. Instead, the Carter has more advanced Phaser and Shield systems than her sister ships, as the 12 years between her original construction and now have seen rapid advancements in ship technology. She retains the Edge of Nimble that all of the members of her class have.

Other than the sensor systems, the refit mostly cost the Carter space compared to other ships of its class: the former foreword shuttle bay and additional cargo space now house the expanded engineering areas for weapons and deflector shields, and the bulkhead hallways and ceilings are more cramped.
