Excelsior Lakota Refit
This is for all you fans of K7's Dogs of War, no not the actual mod but a little teaser mod.. a Ship to be exact, and it's the Excelsior Lakota Refit from DoW which we have all seen in countless PotDs and Screenshots over the past year.
This Excelsior is originially done by Capatin Fingers but was retextured by K7A for DoW. The ship is excellent and doesn't disappoint. The ship plays well in game and looks very good even in stock Armada 2 so in any modified game it should fit in well.
On the downside, and I'd hate to be negative but there is no wireframe, admirals log bitmap, buildbutons or assimilation textures but I guess the modder has restricted those features to his mod and doesn't want to release them separately, I hope 
.
A very nice ship, and should definately be downloaded if you are eagerly awaiting the release of DoW with great anticipation. Nice work K7

This is the Excelsior Lakota Refit for my upcoming mod Dogs of War.
NOTE: The .odf is for my mod and may require editing on YOUR part to be suitable in your own personal game as build costs are a bit excessive for a vanilla copy of armada 2. This contains no wireframe pic, admirals log pic, buildbutons or borg textures.
Original Model - Captin Fingers
Original Texture with alpha map - Captin Fingers
New Texture - K7A with new alpha map (with permission of Captin Fingers.)
Directions - Put the files in their respective folders. To get this ingame you need to make it buildable in a shipyard or put it in your map editor.
Lastly, I ask that you refrain from releasing this texture in any of your own mods. Bottom line: YOU NEED PERMISSION TO USE THIS IN YOUR MODS.
Thank You.

and i dont know why i think it looks cartoony. i think maybe its cause the model was done so well that it flows together better then the other models i have. so it seems a bit more round lol. i guess that the best way i can describe it. I still love the model and im gonna use it most definalty it just looks a bit off next to my other ships. I'll bet itll fit seemlessly into DoW if the other models are as of just as high quality.
and yeah i figured the weapons may have been added so that people would be able to use it off the bat. Btw if ya have a hp map. that woudl rule. cause ill add all the weapons to the correct places to make it fire like the lakota.
by the way K7A is correct, their was the Excelsior, Excelsior B (Enterprise Refit), Excelsior B (Lakota Refit) The Lakota was fitted with upgraded propulsion, computers, phaser bank, quantum torpedos. however their was only one. hence why it's called the lakota refit. in the star trek encyclopedia it say's they discontinued production of the second refit during the dominion conflict because of cost and influence from the defiant incident. the rendered excelsiors in the show during the armada scenes were the excelsior refit (1)
