Ambassador Class

- Initially, this Ambassador model was only available in Borg Incursion Vital Responses. The original model lacked proper lightmaps and I deceided to revamp the model. The final result is superb and Im quite satisfied with her.

- The ship currently stands at 2200 polygons.

- A new Buildbutton and Admirals Log Picture has been included.

- The ship has been balanced to stock A2.

The Ambassador Class:

Introduced: Late 2320s
Ship type: Explorer
Length: 526m.
Major Conflits fought: Federation-Cardassian War of the 2350s and the Dominion War.

Introduced in the late 2320s, the Ambassador Class was designed as a replacement for the aging fleet of Excelsiors and Constellations which have been in service for over three decades. Starfleet engineers pushed the envelope of starship design at the time to create a perfect ship for the job.
At the time of her launch, the Ambassador was Starfleets technological pride and the largest ship built to date. Today, she is still one of Starfleets mainline capital ships but is currently being replaced by the more capable Galaxy Class.

Notable Ships:
USS Ambassador NCC-10521 - Class pathfinder and was the largest Federation ship at the time. Served in several major battles in the late 2340s and 2350s.
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C - Served under Rachell Garrett and was lost with all hands in a battle with several Romulan ships. The fourth starship to bear the prestigous name.
USS Excalibur NCC-26517 - Assisted to form a Federation blockade during the Klingon Civil War. Still serves in front line service today.
USS Horatio NCC-10532 - Part of the first batch of Ambassador Class vessels constructed, the Horatio served under many crews but was later destroyed in 2364 after being infected by an alien parasite.
USS Yamaguchi NCC-26510 - Participated at the Battle of Wolf 359. It was later destroyed in the battle after several critical hits to the hull.
USS Zhukov NCC-26136 - One of the few remaining Ambassadors in active service, the Zhukov is often assigned on exploration and diplomatic missions.
