the Cheetah is a so called fast cruiser TMP era design by Eric Christiansen aka Jackill and not by P81

Well... I have relied on the old readme (the ZIP was named "cheetahbyapoc&quot ;-) , which stated:


"Cheetah Class Starship by PNEUMONIC81

This starship is a 4 nacelled starship similar to the Constellation class. It was designed by Pneumonic81, orginally from a SFC ship model, which has been extensively reworked. It is provided as a SOD and textures, but odfs are included if you wish to see it in game. You may include it in your mod, provided you credit Pneumonic81 and provide a link to the Federation and Empire site. (...) "


A bit confusing, but good that you turn over the true history of the model.

Thanks Terradyhne.

Although I'm not a big fan of the design, the addon itself is a very nice, high-quality work. Well done Rock

I'm not a fan of the non cannon Warp nacelle on the TMP version of the ship, but the over all design of all 3 ships is cool.

Whilst I'm not typically a fan of ships with more than two nacelles (except the Prometheus) I think this file is worth some merit. Three ships in one, each on a new take from an unknown (to me) class. Whilst the design shares similarities with the Constellation, that is all.


Generally, I'd say you've outdone yourself here, and provided us with a nice little file. Well Done. :-)
