Is there a link to the Terran skinned Nebula class ships? I found them once but cant find them recently :( is there also a link to the KA2 terran ships? thank u

---

Hiya Stephen. On the Discovery ships, I have not seen any being done for A2. I think it's pretty clear that save for very special occasions, there won't be many more models coming in for A2. I think the most recent you can find are some ships inspired by the 09 film. But I'm right there with you, I'd love to see the Shenzhou myself, alongside the Enterprise A and Franklin from Beyond. Never say never, but it's difficult to find any new models much anymore.

As to the Terran Empire, there are a few available, but it is very limited. You can check nexusmods for some packs, most of what I have seen is non-canon. You can find some ships that replace original models with the new Terran Empire textures, unfortunately. These include the Nx-01 and several variants of the Nebula Class.

There are very few from TOS, there's R5D5's 3 ship pack of semi-original designs, there is a not very detailed Terran Connie without registries in an adversary pack, a cartoony Federation class and there is a Paris Class. For TMP you will find a nice selection of 6 ships in the Klingon Academy 2 Total Conversion which include staple designs such as Connie Refit, Excelsior and Miranda. On the TNG side there is an ISS Enterprise E, there is a Phalanx Class, an Achilles Class, a 4 nacelled Akira class, and two Galaxy classes.

That is about as much as I have found for the Terran Empire scouring the internet. Most can be found in nexusmods or armadafiles. You may need to Google them a little. There really aren't many to find. Hope this helps a bit.


Is there a link to the Terran Nebula class pack??

Note from KJC - I'm not sure why you asked the same question in two consecutive posts... so I've combined them.

yeah ive downloadeded ur GALAXY Conquerer
don't suppose u could make the 3 nacelled ISS Ent D from the Broken Mirror comics?

I've never heard of the Broken Mirror comics. In all honesty though, if I were to do a Galxy refit I would go in a very different direction.

For the Disco ships, I can volunteer with some texture work, if anyone's willing to do a mesh!

I am actually a little surprised to see so few Franklin meshes about seeing as "true fans" can see it as a Prime ship and it is actually a neat little ship. That said it is more complicated than it appears at a glance (the saucer is not circular for one). It is on my list of ships to try but it's not very high on that list.

As for Discovery, I've not wasted too much time studying the design as I think it's hideous (all straight edges and the a saucer and sphere - it just doesn't work). I also have nothing that I can reuse in its construction so it would be a complete scratch build. However I have been approached about doing a commission so there may be a Discovery hull in my future...

Hi Stephen, you can find the Terran Empire Nebula ships in armadafiles website, look for the Terran Nebula variants package, it brings 6 re-skinned Nebulas with Terran colors.

I have seen one bad port of the USS Discovery in photo previews for a (Probably) dead now mod but the ship is not available since the mod has no files released.

Maj recently released the Coto Class from his old Coalition War mod, the Coto has a resemblance to Discovery's Walker Class (USS Shenzhou), only with Enterprise era warp engines.

I would love to see the Franklin and the Enteprise A from Beyond. We need more Kelvin timeline ships from all races. :)

" ...In all honesty though that the Lancer Class Fighter have a edge at long ranges they can reach out and touch you at greater distances than ours Aeon fighters can. But on the other side of the coin, once the Lancer and the Aeon get into the knife fight, the Aeon is a much more nibble fighter.

Also depends on the stick actuator in the cockpit. If the pilot does not know how to fly his aircraft to the full extent to his flight envelope, he will suck in either jet. Remember that. "

Love it Hellkite, reminds me a bit of the Javelin, except more streamlined.

Anyone gonna make any of the Star Trek Discovery ships?
Or the USS Franklin?
The Franklin is in the upcoming Ages of the Federation mod for Sins of a Solar Empire. Keep an eye out on moddb for it. ;)

I know I'm still new here, but I have a request (assuming I can offer it). The Polaris Class Refit. A (new) design for the Post Nemesis Era. [Not my work, I'm just a huge fan of it]

A model for it is available in STA3 for Sins. Check it out on Moddb.

I thought Sins wasn't compatible for Armada 2. The Sod Converter (from A2F) doesn't seem like it can handle something so new.

How would one rip the model from Sins?

Request a copy from Max Leof I'm sure if you explain you want it for Armada 2 he'll understand.

ship like that would come in handy. I wonder, wasn't there an ability for armada 2 to go from one place to the next almost instantly?

I believe that was Borg transwarp, though I'm not sure if the animation could be correctly coded

It's been a while since I've touched Armada code, but isn't there a flag for weapon ODFs that causes the firing ship to animate when the weapon is used? If that will work with the transwarp weapon then someone should be able to animate a Crossfield model and turn transwarp into spore drive.

Not sure that'll work, though. Not every weapon has the ability to be animated, even with the flag set, as not every one checks that flag.

We used transwarp drive for the BSG jump drive in the HRM. It works fine (mostly) for a point to point system for the player, however the AI was usually quite reluctant to use it.

Hello:
I figured more people would have used the Borg Transwarp for the BSG FTL-drives, we used it on BSG-Armada too :D . But you are correct, the problem is the AI not liking it for some reason.

I've spoken to FleetAdmiral01 over at Deviant. He's managed to gather a few rippeed models from Adversaries. And yes, its the trio of the Walker, Crossfield and Discoprise.

Not sure if they're suitable for any A2 related stuff. Roughly 15-20k polys each and 2048 res textures.

There's also the prospect of the hideous Klingon Hur'q wannabe ships. Oh dear...

It's a shame that those models are so high poly, it'd be nice if there were some reduced models for A2. Sheesh, I'm still looking out for Beyond's "USS Franklin" . :rolleyes: Lol

Has anyone made the ISS Charon? For Armada II or bridge commander?

I realise it is a highly controversial ship, but it is growing on me, looks sorta Vulcan and it was designed for a purpose to harness the mycelium power

I've been working on getting all the great ships I downloaded in game. I was going to do the Balmung Class next but its missing a Sod. I would really like to see this ship in game but putting a sod together is beyond me. This is one of Aad Moerman great ships and I wanted it to be a small tribute to him in my personel mod. Any help would be much appreciated. One tga image for a build button and wireframe would be great too!;) Thank you.

I attempted to hardpoint the Balmung, but couldn't get it to work. Skills beyond my talent. Need to keep practicing. Perhaps someone will take it up one day.

Probably way too late to the party :)
But curious if any of you have suggestion on a 'huge' Federation ship similar to Excalibur (no the STO one). I am doing a personal MOD for FleetOps post Nemesis and before 'The Greatest Rescue Armada"...

Pretty much putting Admiral Picard as a new Avatar and I would like to put in a 'huge' ship to counter the Dominion super ship. Curious if there are other HUGE Federation ships other than the Excalibur?

Maybe the Dreadnought by Aad is a good alternative but I only have v1 (I don't have 30 posts yet to download his v2 here) but curious if others have suggestions

thanks :)

The scale of the large ships in Future Wars would be great for this. The Seraphim (hosted in the Resources section here) would also be great.

There's a large compilation mod somewhere that includes some pretty big dreadnoughts (one is a one saucer-two stardrive Solidarity class)
