You have to manually place the ships in the viewer's directory. 

Textures Go in the  Viewer/data/textures/pics/imported folder

models go in the viewer/data/objects folder

Did you guys read the instructions?

I would love to find a good quality model with correct textures, but for now you will have to live with what I found.  Sorry Gamer.  Unless you can find a good model you are out of luck.

Ok guys While I was designing the weapon systems of the ship, I found that there is a serious flaw in my design.  I can't have an expencive small cruiser, that is less powerful than the defiant, the sise of an intrepid, but takes as long as the defiant to build.

None of this makes sense.

So, I am re thinking my design. 

size. "(from memory beta) It measured at 612 meters in length and was considered a class IV starship...Slightly smaller than a Galaxy-class, the Achilles was a far cry from the size of the Dominion heavy ships, but was of a sleeker design,...)

This is almost twice the size of an intrepid.

Weapons. they will look about the same, but they will have to work like this (armed with the advanced weapons used for the Defiant-class starships for fighting the Borg. It held a total of eight pulse-phaser cannons, two torpedo tubes for quantum torpedoes and eight new mini quantum torpedo tubes arranged in a special "phalanx" position to cause massive destruction...With the 'broadside' arrangement of the 'phalanx' the Achilles can defend itself against Strike fighters defending the Ketracel-White facilities while it maintains its focus on destroying the target...With the 'broadside' arrangement of the 'phalanx' the Achilles can defend itself against Strike fighters defending the Ketracel-White facilities while it maintains its focus on destroying the target.)


Speed.  Currentally it is the speed of the a monsoon, (The new retro-thrusters enable the Achilles to maneuver as well as any Class 3, and most Class 2 ships)

The defiant has an impulse speed of 6, where as the achilles has a higher warp speed, but an impulse speed of 4.  So I think the monsoons speed is good.



Are these changes acceptable?  The weapons will be more powerful.  The speed will be less that the defiant, cost ?  Build time?  It will be as strong as it should be, haveing 8 pulse cannons, and the defiant has 2.  Its special will cost alot, in resources, then it it will take a very long time to cool down.  It will get a quantum torpedo when it reaches it 4th(single gold) and be able to have a second target at veteran.  It will be alittle shorter than the galaxy, but most likely more powerful. 

I did not intend to make it this strong, but in order to make it correctally, this is how it must be.


Tell me what you think guys.

seriously?  You all think it is good?  I forgot to add that it won't be getting a phaser, eventhough it has a phaser bank.  The true ship had no phasers.


Really, I need input...please...

posted on July 18th, 2009, 12:04 am

I believe it will rival the Sovereign.  It is just that powerful by its discription.

just don't do what? 

Any its performance is exemplary.  At first level(rankup disabled) it destroyed 2 brels, one klingon scout, and 2 ftinga refit things before sustaining damage enough to retreat.  Even then it severly damaged one more brel, which cloaked, and sent its special weapon over making it harder to run.  Either way, it made quit an impact.  This is still without a special weapon.  With the weapon, it may have been able to take out a ship yard with the time it had left.

  I'm glad to say that the weapons are rebalanced, the ship defenses are rebalanced, and all is well  I'm back to my earlier point, plus all the 9 weapon rankup odfs are finished and with some diligent work, it all should be done some time this weekend.  No guarantees, but that is What I hope for.
