This ship was built by me, Eptron Omega. I took the Original Defiant mesh and modified it to come up with what you see.
The Serpent Class is slightly smaller then the Defiant and, of coarse, has less crew/shields/cost/energy/buildtime.
I built this mesh for the people that like the look of the defiant, but want something new, so I decided to play some
Star Trek Starship Creator and saw a version of this design and decided I should try and make it. Well my first attemp didnt
work as I planned, I took 9 of Nine's Original Defiant Model and tried to make the ship with that mesh as the base, but when I
played with editing the points, the textured stretched and looked horrid. My second attept with the original A2 mesh was, however,
the success, as you can see. All the install instructions are included in this readme, so please enjoy, any questions/concerns/comments,
email me at shantu_pedrick@yahoo.com
