File Description
The undisputed winner in this year's modding contest was the fantastic design called the Churchill class starship. We watched for weeks in the forums as this one came together, one poly at a time, and it seemed like we were witnessing something epic coming to life. Sure enough, the Churchill is every bit as good as we'd hoped, and it's for that reason that we award it the title as 2008 Modding Contest Winner in the category of Best New Ship. We hope you'll agree.
:cool:

Churchill Class by Michael/Fireball Background ---------- This is the Churchill Class Battlecruiser. This ship is slated to be in the TMP era, sometime after the Excelsior and the explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis. The Klingon's have become agressive and the Federation was in need of a new starship that could be deployed along the neutral zone. This ship would be the Churchill, created using mostly Constitution Refit and Miranda class parts, the Churchill is nothing new when it comes to the technology on-board, although it is far more rugged than either The Constitution Refit or the Mirands. The vessel has incredible defensive systems while possesing a very potent weapons array. This mod includes TMP Photon Torpedoes and Phasers, the model also contains 130 hardpoints, a new damage emitter, and hull burns/damage when the ship gets system damage.
