This is a ship I converted from sfc. The original authors, Ignis and Queball, gave me the go ahead to post it on here. But he said just to include their web site, not his e-mail. We spoke recently and their web site is included in the readme. If you want, you should be able to contact them no problem.
And with that, going by the screenshots, this is a very neat addition to Armada II.

As with all "main" Tholian vessels, they share the same shape (I know two I am using for ZH use the same shape) though as you can see, the textures make all the difference. I am however curious as to the Tholians using Torpedoes? - Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the Ent-Mirror Universe Tongue

Nevertheless, a lovely ship here, and for any Enterprise or Tholian fan, this is (without question) a MUST! Wink - However, the "only" fault with this is the polly size which stands at a whooping 2000 (for the role of the ship) this is slightly high, however one can learn to cope.

Good going Slider Wink

Tholian (ENT Era) mod for Star Trek Armada II:
Mesh by Queball
Texture by Ignis
Conversion by Slider17

Summary:
This is the SFC model by Quebal and Ignis. First of all it is an excellent model and I appreciate them for the go ahead to convert it. It is around 2000 polys because I did not alter the mesh or texture at all.

Thats it for the file list, now to install:
(Note: Make sure files are not marked Read Only)

1. Open tech1.tt with notepad and add the following:

yeah that's one of the best tholian ships I have seen but how is it 2000 polies??
#4 Slider17 2006-05-29 20:22
Hello, indeed 2000 polies is really more for a station (Typical of an sfc model) So I figure it is best to keep it as a single hero ship, or maybe 4-7 or something like the show, but you sure don’t want to mass produce this baby...

How about the tholian web is it possible to have it in as there original weapon and have it to be animated like the borgs diamond with the round spiral shields that actually does some damage but not enough to destroy it?
#7 Captain_Righteous 2006-06-03 15:11
hmmm....Looks a lot like the one from Klingon Academy. Someone should convert the rest of the tholion ships from KA to A2 or SFC or BC or whatever acroynms we use these days.

Why would you want to mass produce a tholian ship? I thought they were stronger than most other races. If they aren't then I guess I was wrong, oh well.
