Aegian Class
Nothing in Armada is more hated than the useless, ugly, utterly pointless design called the Aegian class. There's no need for its invention. After all, Starfleet could've used the Excelsior instead. It seems like they needed to include some new and nifty design just to appeal to the fans who weren't going to buy the game anyway-- a new Federation starship!? GOTTA HAVE THIS GAME! Yeah, well, seven years on, the Aegian has aged terribly in stock, and even attempts at retexturing have only reinforced the silliness of this design.
Dan1025 gives us what's probably the best Aegian attempt we've seen to date --and as usual, it's sophisticated in how it improves the original while including everything you could possibly want. While the design hasn't improved any, that's hardly Dan's fault. This takes making the best of a bad situation to a new level of quality.

This is a replacement for the stock Aegian Class, using Interstellar Machines model and improving the textures. The ship has 2 textures and a poly count of 904.

5. Find the file named "gui_global.spr" found in the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Sprites folder and open it (use notepad).

Fortunately, one just so happened to come along.
Good job though, she looks nice
Now to everyone saying the design is useless and try to argue her design, please read my rant about that in this week's poll comments.
