Hyperion class
This is the subject of Pizza the Hutt's recent naming competition here on A2Files.
Quote:
Some time ago I was wondering how a ship like the Nebula class would have looked like back in the TMP era. I came across the Conelly class for Starfleet Command, but it had too many poly to port it into ArmadaII and I also found the weapons pod too tiny. So I decided to design my own ship by kitbashing various of P81's TMP era ships. I was very satisfied with the result and all I needed was a name for it. I got plenty of suggestions from the community and finally choose Hyperion class.
Congratulations to CanadianBorg for coming up with the winning name.

Hyperion Class by Pizza The Hutt
Known flaws: wireframe not perfect, damage textures not correct. No Borg textures
Installation:
-------------
Copy the file fhyperion.sod into the SOD folder
Copy the .tga files into the Textures > RGB folder
Copy the file fhyperion.odf into the ODF > ships folder
Copy the file fhyperion.bmp into the Bitmaps > Admiralslog folder
Open the file fyard2.odf or fyard.odf (whichever shipyard you want the ship
To be built from) and insert the line: buildItemXX = "fhyperion" under
build Parameters below the last ship to be build
XX being the next unused number
Save that file
Open "tech 1" from the Techtree folder and insert this line:
fhyperion.odf 1 fyard2.odf // Hyperion class
Save this file, open "fulltech.tt" and insert the following line
fhyperion.odf 0
Then save and open "GUI_global.spr" from the sprites folder
Then add this line under federation build buttons:
b_fhyperion gbffhyperion 0 0 64 64
There is a wire frame, it is not perfect, but at least there is one
just add this line into the gui global under wireframes
@reference=128
@tmaterial=interface
fhyperionw1 fhyperionwire 40 0 40 40

The engineering hull, and the bridge are quite dark, yet the nacelles and saucer and sail are almost bone-white. it makes for a reall cool contrast if it were a paint job choice, but instead it appears to be the shadowing. The hull look like it's in deep space out of range of light yet every other surface is so bright it's like it's sunbathing... any suggestions on what I did wrong?
