Negh'Var Variants
First he gave us some Vor'Cha's, now it's the time of the almighty Negh'Var battlecruiser. This one will come down to your taste of other versions available, but this is a good all-rounder for those who perhaps would rather do one install at once. Anyhow, like the Vor'Cha, 3 variants coming up.
Variant 1 - Your standard Negh'Var which has additional weapons and an upgraded odf. She also uses some un-used textures stock from the game and from what I can see, an enhanced model. I'm focusing on the weapons though, for a Klingon ship with more weapons is the best kind of Klingon ship.
Variant 2 (Voodieh = "All Good Things") - Maybe not so good, but now you can have the variant the future Enterprise D absolutely pummelled...I guess this would be ideal for getting your revenge back, if the assault phaser lets you.
Variant 3 (Negh'Var = "Endgame") - This upgraded Negh'Var as represented in the Voyager finale will most likely benefit from additional weapons and such to represent it in the future. This version also sports the un-used textures and also benefits from the model enhancement.
The bonus variants come with build buttons and wireframes, which is also good and the "new" textures, SOD's and Borg textures are included, amongst the ODF's. All in all, a nice download for Klingon lovers and those who really dig the Negh'Var class, which, as a huge ship with weapons on it everywhere, should be ideal for a Klingon fan. Download now.
Klingon Negh'Var Class variants:
Hello:
I am Chiletrek and this mod contains two kitbashes I made from the Negh'Var Class Battleships, first is the Voodieh from the last TNG episode "All Good things..." and the other is a Negh'Var refit from the last episode of Voyager "Endgame".
Things I made:
1) I switched the textures of the Negh'Var and the (unused) Martok texture. The new kbattle texture has been updated and has red sections as seen on DS9 and it is used for the stock Negh'Var and its Refit version. The new kmartok texture is now used for the Voodieh and has new Borg Assimilation file too!.
2) New models along with a buildbutton, wireframe, Admiral's Log pic and ODF.
3) Updated ODf for the stock Negh'Var, it now includes two extra disruptor banks (from the B'rel).
3) This Read me with detailed instructions to make this mod fully playable.
