Ulysses Class
Ok, I've got to admit this might be a little bit biased, purely because this is my favourite Federation design. Coming from Interplay's time of Star Trek with SFC and KA, the Ulysses class was a very capable dreadnaught that whilst wasn't quite as technologically advanced as the Excelsior, packed a hell of a lot more punch. With the ability to fire 5 forward torpedoes in a forward volley, the Ulysses is something of the TMP equivalent of the Akira. She's a torpedo ship, but she could definitely move. This version for Armada 1 was made some time ago, but still looks good. Unfortunately, it comes only with the converted model, textures and hp list's. You'll need to create your own ship and weapon odf's at the least, with a build button and wireframe as extra. It's a bit of work, but with the hp list's, the ship becomes very customisable. Of course, not only this, but it is Armada 2 compatible...just don't expect it looking all lit up in the sun.
As a recommended set-up, the ship is best placed when compared to an Excelsior class. Not as potent as the Excelsior refit, I'd place the Ulysses, in the TNG era, as a heavy cruiser. She'll have some punishing weapons, but her out-dated hull and tech would probably mean she wouldn't fair too well solo against another heavy cruiser of the TNG era. Of course, this can run as much or as little as you want, with the hp list. Anyhow, this is certainly a very cool looking ship and something I think a lot of TMP Federation fans will enjoy.

I see this as a good alternative of powerful ship if you don't want to have fleet of the same class. But this is more, I can see it's firepower is great and could make quite some damage to even TNG ship if used properly
Very good 10/10
I love the Ulysses, and its having a pretty starring role in KA2. Not sure where you get 5 torpedo tubes from though, KA has 4 forward firing (not sure how many rear firing) and in SFC it depended on the variant (some even swapped out the Photons in favour of Plasma Torpedoes)
