Not only does this represent a do-over for an old model, it looks GREAT! Jetfreak has done it again.

Also now balanced to stock.

Cool

Deemon's New Orleans Class

- Another resurrected old model, this is Deemon's New Orleans Class. I have given her a retexture and this is a re-release of the ship. This was originally available at AFC and Ghost's Complilation Mod.

- One of my favorite New Orleans models, Deemon's version is low poly but is much "sleeker" than other models. No offense to other modelers though.

- This ship is balanced to Stock specs. but you can change the odf to match your personal mods.

- Borg Textures and a new buildbutton been provided, but no wireframe. I suggest you use the one from Ghost's mod instead.

New Orleans Class Brief History:

Introduced: 2350's
Ship type: Frigate
Length: 340m.
Major Conflits fought: The Battle of Wolf 359 (2366) and the Dominion War (2374-2375)

Essentially a smaller counterpart to the Galaxy and Nebula Class, the New Orleans is a versatile multi-mission frigate equipped with advanced defensive and propulsion systems.
Her numerous torpedo bays were used as a testbed for the then experimental Quantum Torpedo. It also give her an immense advantage in combat. Over the years, the ship class
has proved quite durable thanks to her compact design. The ship also has many components shared from the Galaxy Class.

USS New Orleans NX/NCC-65450
USS Kyushu NCC-65491

USS Rutledge NCC-57295

I have this ship in my game with the original texture and it has no flaws. but this looks good.

the particular files are not letting me add the information (i.e. builditem8 = fneworleans). I can open it in notepad and add the line but i can't save it. i guess a "modding for dummies" style intruction would be awsome. This is my first attempt at adding a mod to any game i have so any help would be greatly appreciated.

To #3: Welcome to the club.

First of all: All files that come with the game are write protected. If you want to add something go to the properties of that file (in Windows Explorer) and change the attribute to write enabled.


I also recommend that you get Westworlds Big Book of Modding
armada2.filefront.com/file/Westworlds_Big_Book_Of_Modding;8835


It will save you from a lot of headaches.

@#3, save to your desktop, then move the file to the correct folder, and as shadow said, Westworld's Big Book of Modding is really helpfull, it will teach you everything a beginning modder will nead to know :D
