* Following the loss of USS ''Yamato'' in 2365 to a catastrophic antimatter containment failure, a complete systems review was undertaken to ensure there was no inherent design flaw. The review concluded that an Iconian software transmission was to ultimately blame for the ship's destruction but recommendations were also made to improve '''magnetic seal redundancy''' as well as ensure that revised '''primary and secondary backup systems''' were fully independent of main computer functions. | * Following the loss of USS ''Yamato'' in 2365 to a catastrophic antimatter containment failure, a complete systems review was undertaken to ensure there was no inherent design flaw.

* Original estimates of '''mean time between failures''' ('''MTBF''', expressed in hours) were deemed unrealistic by chief engineers in the field, and a revised swap-out schedule for main component replacement was introduced. | * Original estimates of '''mean time between failures''' ('''MTBF''', expressed in hours) were deemed unrealistic by chief engineers in the field, and a revised swap-out schedule for main component replacement was introduced. | ||
* Originally intended to be introduced into the next class starship, a modification of the '''dilithium chamber''' was demonstrated in 2366 that made it possible to reorient the crystal. This modification was subsequently integrated into a new dilithium chamber design in 2367. | * Originally intended to be introduced into the next class starship, a modification of the '''dilithium chamber''' was demonstrated in 2366 that made it possible to reorient the crystal.
