Akula Class (TNG Refitted)This model and associated files are not associated in any way with Activision, Mad Doc Software, any subsidaries, or companies connected with the makers of Star Trek Armada 2. They cannot be held liable or responsible for your innapropriate usage of the files contained in this minimod.Thankyou for downloading this latest minimod from Easysoft Direct ( a subsidary of PR Productions Ltd.). It has been created as a small taster for the in progress project - BORG:Incursion 3, and can be installed into v1.0 (v1.1 is suggested as possible unknown problems may arise but none have been found) of Star Trek Armada. Installation/Uninstallation and additional information is contianed further down this readme.DetailsThis mesh is aprox 900 polys and has been created using Andy 'Deemon' Johns Galaxy Class. The basic kitbash took around 20 minutes to set up and additional nacelle supports are scratch built and took a further 15 minutes to build and texture. Please refrain from contacting Deemon concerning this kitbash as he is only credited with the original Galaxy class model construction and will not be able to provide and help, or support with this kitbash.BackgroundFrom my own point of view I've never been a lover of the original Akula class (Original version of this is a TMP class mostly based on the Constitution class refit ncc1701-A. The nacelles are also very similair to the Miranda class, so its a bit of everything really).
Okay, so basically put, this version of the Akula is my own attempt to bring it up to scratch and into the TNG era. Therefore, I took Deemons rather excellent A2 Galaxy class (second release) and used the seperate sections of the entire saucer along with the nacelles from the engineering hull, plus the supports scratch built from a few boxes. The result as far as I can see came out much better than I expected.
The model is armed with the standard galaxy class phaser and torpedo weapons selection. Hard points are set up as follows:Dorsal phaser: hp24 to hp30Ventral phaser: hp31 to hp37Nacelle supports: hp38 to hp41Torpedo Launcher: hp42The rest of the hardpoints are set up as follows:Engines: hp06 to hp10Life Support: hp01 to hp05All Other Criticals: hp11 to hp23Installation/UninstallationInstalling this minimod couldn't be easier. Just simply double click the EXE file, use the browse button to locate your Armada 2 main directory, and then follow the button prompts. Uninstallation is also carried out in the same fashion, as a shortcut is provided within the START MENU (programs), and this is used to uninstall the mod.Just for information purposes, this EXE is also ZIP compatible, and can be unzipped to a directory of your choice. No further instructions for manually installing the unzipped archive, as you do this at your own risk.
The reason for this function is to allow the ship to be added to other mods.CREDITS & Contact detailsOriginal Galaxy Class model released, provided by and full crediting to Andy 'Deemon' Johns (original textures also credited and provided by Deemon)Nacelle supports and kitbashing by Major A Payne (contact via ICQ 60849083 or Email: [email protected] )(please use the above credits in any further readme if this ship is reused and released in any other format or mod)Known IssuesDo not contact myself concerning the issues listed below as they are already known.- Missing wireframe/reference pic. This is installed along with the rest of the files. However, its not currently working. Other than this the mod is working fine.
(spacecraft only - figure kits not listed)This list focuses on currently available items. A list of all Star Trek kits ever produced would be considerably more formidable. If you want to find out where to get these kits - especially those made by small 'garage kit' manufacturers - visit our page.Each list entry includes the name of the kit (as marketed), the class the ship belongs to (according to Trek canon), the manufacturer, and the primary medium. That last field refers to what the kit is mostly made out of.
'Injection' is injection-molded plastic. This is the your typical, mass produced 'plastic model'. 'Resin' is a common medium in cottage industry. It is heavy, expensive, and holds detail well. 'Metal' is a just that: cast metal pieces.
This is common for gaming miniatures. 'Vacuform' is a light, heat and vacuum deformed plastic, which usually requires more modeling skill than the other media.As long as new Trek kits are being made (and discontinued), this list is continually refined. If you can help fill in any blanks or improve the accuracy,. In particular, we could use some assistance classifying the kits in the SCALE UNKNOWN section. Also, if you know something has gone out of production, please pass the word along.If you plan on printing out this page, be sure you've set your printing options (under PAGE SETUP in Netscape) to 'print black text', otherwise this page will not print legibly.
USS Loki (Akula Class) and USS Lexington (Constitution Class) firing their forward phasersThe Akula class is a and shares a design ascetic with the refit. Ships of this class is a single saucer shaped hull with the nacelles arranged so that one is held above the ship's hull and the other is held below the ship's hull. The ship's impulse engines are built into the aft most edge of the ship's hull just below the upper nacelle pylon.Ship's of the Akula class are equipped with extensive sensor systems. These sensor systems are housed in two sensor domes. One dome is located above the ship's bridge and the other is located at the lowest point of the ship's hull just below the ship's. The Akula class is equipped with three of these arrays with mounted so it is focused along the ship's forward flight path. The other two are mounted so one is focused directly to port and the other is focused directly to starboard.The Akula class is equipped with six three of the phaser banks are mounted to dorsal surface of the ship's hull and the remaining three are mounted to the ventral surface of the hull.
Theses ships are also equipped with four torpedo launchers which are housed in a weapons pod mounted in the lower nacelle pylon just above the lower nacelles. To protect these ship's from the hazards found in deep space the Akula ship's are equipped with.Class Service History. USS Xerxes leaving Earth orbitIn 2232 a examination of the state of the fleet showed that the fleet was in need of a light cruiser that could rapidly respond to emergency situations and act as a patrol vessel freeing up the larger ships, such as the for missions of exploration.
To fill this need the Advanced Starship Design Bureau reached began working on possible designs By 2234 a group of ten possible designs had been developed and after a four month review of the designs the possible designs had been reduced to two. The USS Akula and USS Oberth. After a second round of reviews that included computer model simulations the USS Akula was chosen for further development in 2235.In 2239 the USS Akula had passed its final review and the Antares ship yards was chosen as the construction facility. After a brief keel laying ceremony construction was started in 2240. By 2243 construction was completed and the Akula was launched on a shake down cruise. During the cruise several major systems failed to meet expectations, including the ships warp drive, Phaser banks and long range sensors. The Akula returned to dry dock on 2244 and by 2246 repairs made and the Akula once more was launched and after successfully completing all system tests the Akula was commissioned in 2247.The Akula Class quickly became a standard sight along the space lanes.
The Akula class became the ship of choice by those tasked with rooting out pirates plaguing the space lanes along the wilder parts of the Federation border regions. By the start of the war with the Klingons in in 2256 the Akula class was already seen as a battle chosen ship class. During the war the Akula class saw action in a variety of missions from escorting supply and medical ships to carrying out raids into Klingon Space. With the end of the war in 2257 the Akula class ships once more proved to be capable for more than patrol missions as they filled in for larger ships undertaking research missions while the war losses were replaced.The Akula class once more saw action during the short war with the Klingons in 2267. During this conflict a Task Force of three Akula class ships successfully defined the Hromi Cluster from an equal number of Klingon D-7s. By the 2305 the Akula was a ageing ship class and was being out paced by new ships so it was decided to decommission the class.
