Akira Class by k_merse
A new Akira class starship model? For A2? I couldn't be happier.
A new Akira class starship model from k_merse for A2? It couldn't be a better model.
This model is quite possibly the best one ever made for A2, although it's a bit higher poly than some may care for. Still, the attention to details and quality which are hallmarks of k_merse's work (see also: the Luna class starship model) are all on display here. They elegantly demonstrate that nothing is impossible for the dedicated A2 modder. k_merse has done a fantastic job.
Quote:Follow the installation instructions closely (there's no auto-installer) and enjoy this beauty.
The general idea was to have the most details as possible on the model (like all of the torpedo launchers and a detailed narcelle), but still have a playable, mass-producible model with medium polycount. This one uses only about 2100 polygons, a good compromise between quality and usefulness - at least I think and hope

1. DESCRIPTION
The Akira Class was among the first starship classes with the first priority of space combat. Although the Akira has only three phaser strips, and all of them are on the saucer section, this beauty is one of the most powerful ships of Starfleet. She's armed with seventeen torpedo launchers, which make her a formidable enemy to anyone.
2. INSTALLATION
This time I didn't make an autoinstall file. Pelase read How_to_install.txt to learn, how to install the ship.

The ship uses only basic Armada 2 files. You don't need any additional files for using the ship.

Comments
I find 'ScaleSOD = 0.80' looks decent for an Akira.
