This is a new Federation Dauntless Class Starship, made by poly reducing Jb06's Dauntless from BCFiles. The model has 2 textures (512x512) and a poly count of 4300 (reduced from 10500). The poly count may seem a little high but I've had dozens of them onscreen at once during the course of testing them and there's little to no lag.

Included in this mod are:

SOD file
Ship textures
Borg textures
Ship ODF
Weapon ODFs
AdmiralsLog picture
Buildbutton
Wireframe
