This is the developers first mod, and I have to say its fairly good. While he has used stock models for everything which I know some people dislike he has paid attention to something which is far more important and often forgotten, which is the gameplay.


Star Trek: Armada 2 - "Day of Reckoning MOD" by Anthony Kinyon
Version: 1.0

Copyright: Star Trek is a property/trademark/copyright of Paramount Pictures.
Armada and Armada 2 are copyrights/trademarks of Mad Doc and Activision.
This MOD, "Day of Reckoning" is copyright (C) by Anthony Kinyon. I did not
use anything from anyone else except what came in the stock game. All
modifications were made by me.

A word from the author:
This is my first attempt at releasing a publicly available MOD for Star Trek:
Armada 2 from Activision/Mad Doc. I hope you enjoy it! I would appreciate
constructive comments/feedback on this MOD.

MOD Features:
-This is not a complete list.
-There are now Defiant class and Advanced Defiant Class. Both are
powerful and have stronger shields and improved weapons. Adv.
Defiant Class are stronger and a little larger. Both can cloak.
Adv. Defiant Class have Borg torpedos, using technology Starfleet
captured from disabled Borg ships. Normal Defiant-class ships
have the same torpedos as Sovereign Class ships.
-Galaxy Class starships are stronger and have more special weapons
than in the stock game. Conjoined, they have the shield harmonics
disruptor to disable enemy shields. Separated, the saucer section
has Warp Core Overload like the Steamrunner Class. The battle
section has the Chain Reaction Pulsar.
-Sovereign Class ships are stronger.
-Venture class ships are now refitted and worth making. Starbases
can now build them. They have increased crew, better shields and
vastly improved weapons. They are cheap and when used in groups,
can make a substantial difference in the outcome of the game. They
are still quite weak against most other ships, especially when
fighting solo, but they are greatly improved from how they were in
the stock game.
-The Federation now starts with the USS Incursion (Incurion Class),
the and the USS Enterprise E (Sovereign) with Picard in command.
-The Enterprise E has improved stats but is not by any means
invincible.
-The Enterprise D is one of the ships that will be built as Galaxy
class from your Advanced Shipyard (at random). It uses the regular
Federation voice, not Picards. It is not a hero unit.
-The USS Defiant is buildable as a regular ship, and it not a hero unit.
-The USS Voyager is buildable as a regular ship, and is not a hero unit.
-Intrepid Class starships have improved shields and stats. They are
now fitted with a Transwarp Drive from captured Borg technology and
resurrected technology from the USS Excelsior as seen in Star Trek: 3.
-The Borg start with the Borg Queen's Diamond, a hero unit.
-The Romulans start with a warbird.
-The Klingons start with Martok's Negh'Var.
-The Federation starts with an improved Nebula class ship.
-Buildable Nebula class ships have not been changed from stock config.
-Sabre Class has been removed from the game and replaced with Adv.
Defiant Class.
-Federation turrets have improved shields. Other races turrets are
not changed but will probably be made comparable in a future version
of this MOD.
-Several ships have changed crew compliments, changed number of officers
and various adjustments to special energy, shield recharge rates, and
max health.
-Klingon Birds of Prey have improved stats/health.
-Several species 8472 ships have improved stats/health/shield recharge.
-Overall Klingon faction is stronger than stock game. Improved stats.
-The game is relatively balanced, but further improvements will be made
in a future release.

I have to say, that is a lot of improvements that you said. If it had half of those improvements, it would explain the lack of custom models for ships. :thumbsup: and have a Drink for a job well dohe.

A very good first mod indeed. Kudos Anthony.

Since this is your first mod all I can say is that your mod is fairly good, though needs some custom designs like what Sam Dolim was on about

First mod :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see more
