Breen Frigate Breen Frigate

ShoeBox, 2009-03-11

This is a new mod featuring the Breen frigate seen in DS9. It's pretty exact, but there's one problem: it's only been tested in Art of War. This isn't a problem if you've got Art of War already installed since the Breen feature pretty prominently into the Dominion / Cardassian forces and they make a good fit. However, some modding experience will be required to get this one working in stock A2.

Worth a look.

Cool


Breen Frigate by-Chrisluskey

The Breen built their vessels from organic material.The hulls of the Breen ships seem to be capable of withstanding a similar amount of punishment as other vessels of it's size and mass.The ship is equipped with less armament then most ships it's size but is somewhat offset by it's Dampening Weapon.Their small size also makes them very manoeuvrable.

This ship was ONLY tested in Achilles (Art of war mod III).Thanks for building a great mod.The Breen weapons is just a poleron weapon with some small changes.Sorry i'm not an odf specialist.
It's a low poly model with one 1024x1024 res texture so it shouldn't slow down older computers.

Included in this mod are:

SOD file
Ship textures
Borg textures
Buildbuttons
Special Weapons Buildbuttons
Ships ODF
Special Weapon ODF's
Weapons ODF's
AdmiralsLog picture
Ships Wireframe
Breen voiceovers
Event.data file

Hey Chris, didn't know you're modding A2 as well. Excellent work (especially the smoothing).
