Aegian Class Aegian Class

Nothing in Armada is more hated than the useless, ugly, utterly pointless design called the Aegian class. There's no need for its invention. After all, Starfleet could've used the Excelsior instead. It seems like they needed to include some new and nifty design just to appeal to the fans who weren't going to buy the game anyway-- a new Federation starship!? GOTTA HAVE THIS GAME! Yeah, well, seven years on, the Aegian has aged terribly in stock, and even attempts at retexturing have only reinforced the silliness of this design.

Dan1025 gives us what's probably the best Aegian attempt we've seen to date --and as usual, it's sophisticated in how it improves the original while including everything you could possibly want. While the design hasn't improved any, that's hardly Dan's fault. This takes making the best of a bad situation to a new level of quality.

Cool


This is a replacement for the stock Aegian Class, using Interstellar Machines model and improving the textures. The ship has 2 textures and a poly count of 904.
This will act as a replacement for your Aegian Class (ffrigate).

Included in this mod are:

SOD file
Ship textures
Borg textures
Ship ODF
AdmiralsLog picture
Buildbutton
Wireframe

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Installation Instructions:

1. Place "ffrigate.sod" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/SOD folder.
2. Place all files found in the RGB folder into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Textures/RGB folder.
3. Place "ffrigate.odf" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/ships folder.
4. Place the "ffrigate.bmp" file found in the ShipImages folder into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/bitmaps/AdmiralsLog/ShipImages folder.

(Ensuring you click "Yes" when the computer asks if you'd like to replace the older files).

5. Find the file named "gui_global.spr" found in the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Sprites folder and open it (use notepad).

Search for where it says:

"Federation Wireframes"

and delete the entry for ffrigate

now find where it says:

"@reference=64"

(if "@reference=64" isn't in your Cardassian Wireframes section you'll need to add it at the end of the section).

and add:

ffrigatew1 WFffrigate 0 0 64 64
ffrigatew2 WFffrigate 0 0 64 64
ffrigatew3 WFffrigate 0 0 64 64
ffrigatew4 WFffrigate 0 0 64 64
ffrigatew5 WFffrigate 0 0 64 64

Save and close the file.

This is a great remodel of the ship and the new textures are great. I will be adding this to my game. But, where are the phaser strips?

Very nice work dan, Exceptional

I always liked the Aegian. It just needed a modder willing to do it justice.


Fortunately, one just so happened to come along. :D

I'll just quote MAP on this one.....'Nipples'

Good job though, she looks nice

The only thing I don't like about this model is the nacelles, assides from the fact that it really does look like a pair of nipples it's also too boxy for my taste. Somebody should do a kitbash or a revamp of this ship, beautiful textures on this one though. Excellent work Dan. :thumbsup:

The Aegian herself is a pretty good looking ship. This mod makes her look 100% better. 10/10


Now to everyone saying the design is useless and try to argue her design, please read my rant about that in this week's poll comments.

Actually, I think this redo looks very nice...definitely going to replace my stock model. Although I probably would have shortened the tail end of the ship to fall in line with other Federation ship designs.

I never had a problem with the Ageian myself. Personally, I think it would look better with the nacelles from an Akira or a Sovereign instead of those boxy things. Still, great work man, looks awesome.
