I have downloaded it, but i haven't yet added it to the game. As i said, sorry for the delay with the textures as this would have been up earlier, perhaps last night. From the pictures, it looks brilliant, so i recommend that everyone download this.


But, the model is rather high poly, even though Ash has put his time into reducing it to a very low level and hasnt lost any of the detail it had, so low end machines may not cope with this.

Great work mate.

Thank You very much And not to worry about the textures, the ship is up now (better late than never) and everything has worked out. Even though it would have been nice to have a smaller polied version, but I'm fairly happy with the result.

Hopefully, it wont be spammed (Excalibur Class X16 + Mission to Destroy Enemy Base = LAAAAAAAAAG).

Hello:
I agree with that. hopefully nobody will attempt that
The ship is looking goood, but I'm only watching at the normal one now, maybe someday I'll attempt the Transwarp on this one

There is an Transwarp variant in the pack, same as the normal one

You could always open up Photoshop, and turn them white

:lol: The good old days (when there was a bigger community, and more files).

Yeh, it is very high, but the thing people have to think about is the original poly count which was about 11500. Ash, i believe, did an awesome job reducing it.

Indeed a great job. I was kinda wondering if there was any chance of this being released for Armada 1. *biggest puupy dog eyes so humanly possible*

I tryed it out in the Demo and it looks amazing. Great work, really very great.

Hello:
I know there are both variants in the pack Tycoon, it is only that I prefer the normal one because I'm not used to see Fed ships with green glows
Good work to you and Gavin, and as I said in armada2files, I'm almost jealous.

Ok peeps, apparently there was an error with the download on A2Files, yet nobody had complained about it before saying it hadn't worked for them.

Thus:

What I don't understand, is how it has worked for everyone else, and then suddenly, it has errors, and half the files are missing.

In regards to this, has anyone else found a corrupt file, or is this only a recent event?

Quoted directly from the File Comments.

Has anyone downloaded this only for it be corrupt, or to have files missing? I'll be re-uploading it in time, but wouldn't mind knowing if this has always been corrupt, of if it has only recently become corrupt. If so, we need to figure out as to why that was.

As i said, this is only a recent error. There may have been a problem when it was uploaded via FTP and it may only be a problem on one of the Filefront download servers.

Try downloading it from another download mirror like PlanetMirror.
