KA Yamato Class BB
Ah, the old fan favorite from Klingon Academy. I'm sure everybody that played KA remembers this ship none to fondly from unwittingly charging in for an honourable head to head challange in the finest traditions of the Empire... and soon afterwards desperately trying to run away while cloaked for some badly needed repairs after the Yamato blew through your shields like holograms and left your Dreadnought (Dread-being-in-front-of-the-Yamato more accurately, perhaps?) a crippled wreck.
I once described this ship to a friend as a StarBase on thrusters, which I think was a reasonably accurate description. One of these ships is certainly capable of trashing a squadron of heavy cruisers.
In her era. (ie, TMP) However, if you are deploying her in the TNG era then after a hundred years of weapons development she is no longer the rampaging monster that she once was. Armed with her original weapons, she'll still easily see off Destroyers in some numbers. She might survive against a couple of cruisers simply by blowing one apart with assault phasers and then pounding it out with the second, but that's about it. She certainly doesn't want to be taking on a 24th century battleship. While she might manage to use her assault phasers to even things out enough to pound things out the odds of her winning aren't something most people would give you odds on, and if she did survive it then she's likely to need rather more than cosmetic attention by a shipyard afterwards.

2 - System Requirements
This mod is designed to work best with stock 1.1 A2. The model is a high quality model of 7069 polies; however every effort has been made to maintain proformance. This includes 5 Levels Of Detail for both the texturs and the mesh. Inspite of this older PCs, especially thoughs with less the 256MG of Ram or less then 128MG vid card might have problems with lag.
3 - Online Multiplayer
As long as you and your opponets intalls are EXACTLY THE SAME this should work online but it has not been tested in multiplayer.
4 - Known Issues
None known. That said if you find any bugs please report them. so I can fix them the next go around.
