Cardassian Repair Ship
This is a nice re-boot of the Cardassian repair ship, changing the design and using one more suitably Cardassian looking. As repair ship designs go, the stock game didn't give us any that looked like they belonged in the Star Trek canon. The Federation design was bad, the Klingon and Romulan designs worse, but the Cardassian design had that sheer "wtf?" factor that made it especially silly, especially in combat.
Nevertheless, you can always count on Dan1025 to solve any problems in a top-notch mod, and this one's definitely worth the effort of replacing your stock ship with it. 
Finally finishing my line of replacement Cardassian ships I present the new Repair Ship, made by kitbashing Zorgs Galor Class. The model has 5 textures and a poly count of 1034.
This will act as a replacement for your Repair Ship (csrepair).
Included in this mod are:
SOD file
Ship textures
Borg textures
Ship ODF
AdmiralsLog picture
Buildbutton
Wireframe
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Installation Instructions:
1. Place "csrepair.sod" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/SOD folder.
2. Place all files found in the RGB folder into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Textures/RGB folder.
3. Place "csrepair.odf" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/ships folder.
4. Place the "csrepair.bmp" file found in the ShipImages folder into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/bitmaps/AdmiralsLog/ShipImages folder.
(Ensuring you click "Yes" when the computer asks if you'd like to replace the older files).
5. Find the file named "gui_global.spr" found in the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Sprites folder and open it (use notepad).
Search for where it says:
"Cardassian Wireframes"
and delete the entry for csrepair
now find where it says:
"@reference=64"
(if "@reference=64" isn't in your Cardassian Wireframes section you'll need to add it at the end of the section).
and add:
csrepairw1 WFcsrepair 0 0 64 64
csrepairw2 WFcsrepair 0 0 64 64
csrepairw3 WFcsrepair 0 0 64 64
csrepairw4 WFcsrepair 0 0 64 64
csrepairw5 WFcsrepair 0 0 64 64
Save and close the file.

P.S. Resistance is futile, eh?
On a side note, the Federation Repair ship is a Starfleet-looking design.
#5 + #7 - The extensions on the underside of the ship are actually the "prongs" that were on the front of the stock version, I retextured them and made them look more like a holding bay to, as apoclaydon said, make it look like it had something to do with construction or repair
