This is an update to the "Nelson" Class Cruiser sent in by Pizza a fair bit ago. True to the readme, it does look better with from what I can see, some texture and mesh upgrades, but nothing to make it look any different. I think what really makes this good is the fact that it's the old Akula design but better...not that the Akula was bad, it's just this is very good.

Fans of the old design won't see anything different, so don't worry about that, this will simply just make it a little prettier to look at. Remember also, it has all the standard stuff, including a nice admiral's pic (I personally think stations or ship submits without these is a little bit upsetting). Download now people!

Nelson Class frigate (version 2.0) by Pizza the Hutt

This ship is the Nelson class, one of my own designs. It ist the late 24th century version
of the vertical nacelle configuration seen in the Akula and Challenger Class ships

This is the second release of the Nelson class.It is much more detailed now.
This model uses parts of P81's Sovereign instead of the stock model. The ship
now has Borg textures,too.

The Nelson matches the Saratoga in scale and textures.

Known flaws: wireframe not perfect, damage textures not correct.

Installation:
-------------

Copy the file fnelson.sod into the SOD folder
Copy the .tga files into the Textures > RGB folder
Copy the file fnelson.odf into the ODF > ships folder
Copy the file fnelson.bmp into the Bitmaps > Admiralslog folder

Open the file fyard2.odf or fyard.odf (whichever shipyard you want the ship
To be built from) and insert the line: buildItemXX = "fnelson" under
build Parameters below the last ship to be build
XX being the next unused number

Save that file

Open "tech 1" from the Techtree folder and insert this line:

fnelson.odf 1 fyard2.odf // Nelson class

Save this file, open "fulltech.tt" and insert the following line

fnelson.odf 0

Then save and open "GUI_global.spr" from the sprites folder

Then add this line under federation build buttons:

b_fnelson gbfnelson 0 0 64 64

There is a wire frame, it is not perfect, but at least there is one
just add this line into the gui global under wireframes

@reference=128
@tmaterial=interface
