From the author:

Thank you for downloading the Strider Class Assault cruiser. It was originally designed for Star Trek Legacy as an Enterprise era scout.
I felt from the beginning that was all wrong. I have also from the beginning wanted to bring her to Armada 2. Now that I have a few
models under my belt I felt it was time. Knowing full well that the era was all wrong for her, I decided to build her as a TMP era assault
cruiser. I took away her tractors and gave her torps but, everything else is still the same as the original assault ship.

===================================================================================================================

Background Info:

Built at the Utopia Shipyards from 2283 to 2338, The Strider Class was designed with a multitude of roles in mind.
Primarily used for fleet support and small resupply missions, it was not intended for deep space missions without an accompanying cruiser.
In times of conflict, the Strider was also used to ferry Marines to planets needing their services.
The Marines were also used to board and subdue (if possible) or destroy (if necessary) enemy vessels.

minor ODF editing will be needed.

1) open the "Activision/Star Trek Armada II/textures/RGB" directory. Copy and paste all .tga files (F_Strider1, F_Strider2, gbtmpassault, and tmpwireframe)
into the directory.

2) Open the "Activision/Star Trek Armada II/sod" directory. Copy and paste the tmpassault.sod file into the directory.

3) Open the "Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/ships" directory. Copy and paste the tmpassault.odf file into the directory.
4) open the "Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/stations" directory. Open the station you wish to build the ship. Under the last buildItem add this ship.
IE: fyard.odf
//Construction Parameters
buildItem0 = "fcolony"
buildItem1 = "fscout"
buildItem2 = "fdestroy2"
buildItem3 = "fdestroy"
buildItem4 = "fnorway"
buildItem5 = "fcruise1"
buildItem6 = "fcruise3"
buildItem7 = "fcruise2"
buildItem8 = "fassault"
buildItem9 = "tmpassault"
Save then close the ODF file.

5) Open the "Activision/Star Trek Armada II/techtree" directory. Find and open the "fulltech.tt" file. Add the line "tmpassault.odf 0" Save then close.
