Crimson Fleet Ship - "Jagged-Edge Class"
What will hopefully be the first of many mods from the "Crimson Fleet" design, this design stunned me at first looking. It's bold colours, although unusual for the Federation, work extremely well in my opinion. It's majestic design yet brutal yield make's it a prominent destroyer, easily capable of destroying bigger ships, providing they work in a similar style to the Galor "wolf-packs" of three ships. Of course, this power does not make it a God ship for it has many draw-backs: it's built out of the first shipyard (providing you don't edit it) as part of some late research, it has a weak hull and moderate shielding. But as mentioned above, it's yield of four photon torpedoes and a cruiser phaser array, coupled with the swooping movements of it's fast speed's and cloaking device will make it a force to be reckoned-with.
As mentioned in the readme, the Jagged-Edge class ship was born from the success of the Defiant project, which we all know worked to a great success. In fact, my only gripe with this ship is that it need's it's Crimson Fleet sisters to make it whole, otherwise it stands out, but let your enemy worry about that as they will have to contend with it, not you!
Finally, as a ship to add to your masses of Federation shipyards, I say so. It has somthing that unfortuenately, quite a few designs (including canon ones) lack, and that is originality.
However, one must get formal. These changes were made to the file after I recieved it from Capt_Syf:
-After being instructed to test it by Syf and not finding the problem, Kel took it and had a look, giving back to me the mod in folders, so you can now extract-and-play with little hassle. This means the gui_global entry in the readme is incorrect, but I shall leave this as it is as the gui_global with the entries is already in there, along with the fyard and some tech tree files.
-I added an Admiral's Pic while testing it myself, so that has also been included for your use.
-Please note, the material's included are otherwise all Syf's, so please take this into account. If you want to gain permission for this, go to him, this work was done as extra.
Thank you for taking the time to download this mod. I sure hope you enjoy using it.
Jagged-edge Class by CaptSyf
Background Story: After repeated assaults by forces such as the Borg and Dominion,
Stafleet commisioned a new task force called Crimson fleet. The task force was based
on the success of the defiant class project.It's mission to develope and deploy specifically
designed assault starships to serve as a front line against high risk threats like
the borg and dominion. After 6 years of developement, the task force was already well
into production of the first group of these newly designed ships. Now you are put in
command of them, to protect the federation from unknown advanced threats.
