A2 Argonaut Class 1.0

This folder contains the Argonaut class and the Valkyrie class.
Starfleet Command, needing starships, capable to take on powerful enemy ships, like the Dominion warships.
Several designs were tested. One of these designs, that finally came into construction, became the Argonaut Class.
Although not widely used, the ships of this class performed very satisfactorily. Only 6 units were build.
The Argonaut carried fighters of the Valkyrie class.

Important Note:

Thanks for letting me release it.
Mesh and textures are edited for Armada 2. The polycount is still high, but modern PC's can handle this.
SOD file, Wireframe and buildbutton by me.
