##################################################

Included in this download are two versions of the Excelsior Class:
- The first version is the typical version, as seen throughout ST:TNG and STBiggrinS9.
- The second version is the Refit, as seen with the Enterprise-B (ST:Generations), and the Lakota (DS9: Paradise Lost).

Description
-------------------------

One of the most widely used starships in the Federation fleet; the Excelsior is also quite capable of holding her own, even against contemporary opponents. Along with fleet combat and exploration, the Excelsior is also a fond sight when escorting larger Federation vessels.

@1 That's filefront these days for you. hey Ash how come you are no longer uploading to MSFC, we don't have any download issues unlike A2Files!

#1 - As Majestic has already pointed out, the file should be downloadable, it's just the FileFront network playing up. Try refreshing your page a couple of times, that's all I can suggest really.


#2 - Check your MSFC messages. :-)

This is nutts. A week and the downloads still are not sorted. Are the staff on holiday???

These problems have been around a lot longer than a mere week or two. Try several months. There isn't anything any of us can do, not even the A2Staff have the ability to fix the issue.


The problem lies with the network administration, who apparently don't care.
