Subject: Gaming Andromeda and other High Guard ships.

At the official web site ship listing:

http://www.allsystems.org/engineering/shipsindex.html

There is a section at the bottom of the ship description that has a numerical
rating for the ship in various categories, such as:

Mission Areas
AST: Anti-Starship Warfare
Destroy, disable or disrupt hostile assets and operations BDO: Battlegroup
Defense Operations Conduct defensive action for the battlegroup in the theater
of operations CCC: Command, Control and Communications Provide operational
command and control capabilities for battlegroup assets C2W: Command and
Control Warfare Destroy, disable or disrupt hostile command and control
capabilities GSO: Guard Support Operations Provide medical, search and other
support services for battlegroup assets GSW: Guard Special Warfare Destroy,
disable or disrupt hostile command and control capabilities IEO: Intergalactic
Exploration Operations Conduct and support deep space scientific and research
operations IMW: Interplanetary Mine Warfare
Conduct search and destroy anti-mine activities and clearance of
navigational hazards in the theater of operations INT: Intelligence Operations
Conduct surveillance and reconnaissance operations and collect intelligence
LOG: Logistics Operations Provide logistics support for battlegroup assets in
theater of operations MOB: Mobility Operations Conduct and support maneuver of
assets in theater of operations MOC: Missions of Commonwealth Conduct and
support military operations other than war
NCO: Non-Combat Operations
Conduct own ship non-combat activities and provide law enforcement
support
PFW: Planet-Fall Warfare
Conduct and support space to surface combat operations PSW: Planetary Strike
Warfare Conduct and support space to surface strike operations

The numbers seem to range from 1 to 10 and would be useful in making
ship-to-ship comparisons and for getting a better feel for what weight
each of the systems adds to the ship's capabilities.
