A nice Romulan design, the D'tallax sort of reminds one of the Melak design, fitting somewhere before the D'deridex in Romulan ship evolution but equipped identically to stock Armada. Frostmourn4 has done an amazing job with equipping this design, converted to A2 by the incomparable Pepperman.

Worth a look even if you're not playing A1.

Cool

Looks like a typical Melak to me...

The original model was labeled as a D'tallax class. I've seen other Romulan ships where they looked the same but had different names, like Ultimate Dragon's Rnara for A2 and Pepperman's Ael'hlaiim for A1. It even happens in canon, like the B'rel and K'vort.

Technically, these are different ships. The B'rel is a small ship, with a crew compliment of 12, the K'vort is a large vessel, with a larger crew. There is also the 'D12' from ST:Generations too...


In regards to the D'tallax, the file description is a little misleading, as it says that this reminds of the Melak, not a fault to whoever wrote that, they probably thought the same as me to be quite honest.


A nice release nevertheless. :-)

I sure thought it was a Melak. D'tallax or Melak, the difference may be as simple as the onboard weapons....
