Season 6 changed the based HP and Shield modifier of the T5 Excelsior.
This was not working as intended and is fixed now.
The Excelsior's HP and shield modifier is now reverted to its pre-season 6 values.

It is a nerf, but it's worth mentioning that the ship did enjoy a very strong following at that hull for a long time, and remains the only LTC tactical cruiser for Feds (though that'll probably change when we know the stats for the Regent).
Maybe that's how it was reported but the actual numbers were higher? Or the patch could have been applied piecemeal as they were gearing up for the downtime.

I haven't pulled mine out of mothballs since season 4, but in the shipyard it was showing 42900 as well.
Plus, i love the look of the older line ships, I grew up on that generation. After star wars, star trek I and II were the first 3 movies my young life saw at the drive in with my grandparents- yes kids, the Drive in
OK, bring the shileds back down, but supposedly the C-Store version that I have has been upgraded for 24th century use. So give me a hull/or shileds near the odyssey, so sick of being in events and the odyssey is all you see. Give Cruiser people a choice, trade one thing for another sure between ships, but still give us a reson for variety, other than a better turn rate.

Ran a few STFs even after the "bug fix" and I still enjoy my Excelsior 10X more than trying to tank or do STFs with the Oddy. That extra little turn rate helps quite a bit. My hull is still 40k+ with the MACO deflector and the SIF bonus and I haven't honestly noticed the hit to shields.
