Jetfreak's Ship and Retexture Pack
Jetfreak does retexture work like no one else. That much is plainly obvious just from the PotDs he can produce. And we've all wondered, from time to time, "how DOES he do that?" Well, now's your chance to add some seriously fantastic looking re-texture work from A2Files' resident expert on the subject. All .ODFs (balanced to stock) and .SODs are included, along with buildbuttons and admirals' log pics.
This pack includes the following ships:
Aegian Class by Dan1025
Akira Class by Aad Moerman
Centaur Class by SB34
Constellation Class by Fireball_IV
Constitution TOS-XI Hybrid by Fahres
Forerunner by Aad Moerman
Luna by k_merse
Renegade by SB34
Ronin by Aad Moerman
The included Constitution re-texture uses the "JJPrise" textures by WileyCoyote, as you've no doubt seen in the forums. That on its own would be one of our most downloaded files-- but with the rest thrown in, you get one hell of a lot of awesomeness in one .ZIP file.
Download this one right now.

Jetfreaks Ship and Retexture Pack
- Essentially a ship pack and retexture mod combined into one, this release features several previously released items which I have edited for personal use. Most of the items included features edits ranging from minor cosmetic changes to full fledged retextures.
- As requested, the original sods and odfs are included.
- One of the highlights of this release is a specially textured model of Fahres Constitution Model. Which now sports WileyCoyotes JJprise textures.
- All ships have been balanced to stock Armada 2.
- Unfortunately, wireframes are not included. You can retain the original ones if you have any.
