This would be Zefram Cochran's first warp-capable ship, made for Armada II. Bit small, and could do with a little more detail, but overall, it isn't going to be used in massive fleet attacks (unless your the klingons, have stolen the design, and plan a mass-suicide run) Tongue

Still, it is a nice little thing to have. Brings a piece of Trek History to the game. Smile

Lord Agros Phoenix Mod

Firstly a little about this mod

I have since polished it up a dit and added a little more detail (it still can also be used as a construction ship)
