12/24/2005

Modding Tool: Paint Shop Pro v.7/ MPE

Modding Time: 3 Years (01/05/2003)

Requirements:
____________

* NanoFX2b (For the Running Lights)

* Elminster's Common Weapons Pack v.3

* MLeo's Sub Menu Mod v.3

Model Discription:
_______________

This is a total retexture of the 9 of 9 Defiant.
 
These Models will not overwright any other models however some of the scripts will overide previous versions of the v.1 Mod Pack ships. 
These are concept ships. 12 in all, each has been customized to counter the Borg threat. As mentioned by Commander Shelby,
Starfleet Research and Development would be making innovative ships and weapons. In the TNG 4th season episode
"The Best of Both Worlds Pt. II. The Defiant's sister ships will display what was developed "In Theory". Since most of
the Defiant Classes will have different weapon and shield configurations. The Borg would not be able to Adapt as quickly,
to all the different Defiant weapon configurations. All ships will have different degrees of Ablative Armour.

This Mod pack will replace the previous Defiant Class Mod Pack v.1 ships. These mods are compatible with Apollo's Advanced
Technologies Pack (ATP 2 & 3). The Fleet of Defiants are organized using the latest version of Sub Menu v.3 by MLeo. 
And any QB/ QBR/ QBA and KM mods. Keep in mind, the ships are balanced for ingame play, and may not follow canon 
dictates. Our Main Objective here is "ingame" playability. . . 

Defiant Class Fleet (Weapon Specifications):
________________________________________________________


________________________________

U.S.S. DEFIANT * NX-74205
________________________________

* 4x Pulse Phasers
* Dual Forward and Single Aft Quantum Torpedo Launchers.
* Enhanced Shield System
* Lateral Phasers
* Dorsal Phaser Turret
* High Manuverability
* Reinforced Primary Systems
* High Acceleration
* Immune to the Breen Energy Drain Weapon (ATP v.2 or 3 required)
* Ablative Armour
* Cloaking Device

* Note: The First Starship designed to counter the Borg threat, The NX Defiant was "mothballed" when the
Borg threat became less urgent. The Defiant Class proved invaluable during the Dominion Wars. Though
classified as a "Escort", The Defiant Class is a "Warship" pure and simple.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

________________________________

U.S.S. AVENGER * NCC-74208
________________________________

* 4 Dual Forward Quantum Torpedo Launchers
* 4 Forward High Powered Pulse Phasers
* 1 Port and Starboard Phaser Array
* 1 Dorsal Phaser Array
* 1 Ventral Phaser Array
* 2 Dual Aft Quantum Torpedo Launchers
* Reinforced Hull
* Uprated Shields
* Advanced Technologies Pack Compatable (ATP 2 or 3)
* Multi-Vector Shielding (ATP required)
* Ablative Armour (Enhanced by ATP, but will work without.)

* Note: The Avenger is designed for "Stealth" without the need for a Cloak. Along with her sistership, the
Lynx. Both are the only ships in the fleet to employ "Multi-Vector" Shielding. Enabling them to remain longer 
in a firefight.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

_________________________________

U.S.S. PACCIA * NCC-74209
_________________________________

* 4 Multi-Fire Forward Micro-Quantum Torpedo Launchers (used as a disruptor system)
* 4 Forward High Powered Phaser Cannons
* 1 Port and Starboard Phaser Arrays
* 1 Dorsal Phaser Turret
* 1 Ventral Phaser Turret
* 1 Multi-Fire Aft Micro-Quantum Torpedo Launcher (used as a disrupter system)
* Reinforced Hull
* Uprated Shields
* Ablative Armour

* Note: The Paccia is "unique" in employing (4) Forward High Powered Phaser Cannons in place of the traditional
 Pulse Phasers, equipped on most Defiant Classes. The Aft torpedo system has been modified to fire as a disruptor.
 You will need to use the Disrupter key to fire the "Micro Quantums".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
______________________________

U.S.S. VALIANT * NCC-74210
______________________________

* Ablative Armour (Weaker than the Defiant's)
* No Lateral Phaser Emitters
* No Cloaking Device
* Slightly Reduced Speed on Strafing Runs
* Only fired "One" Aft Torpedo at a time
* Dual Forward Torpedo Launching
* Increased Firing rate of Pulse Phasers
* Reduced Damage to the Pulse Phasers
* Pulse Phasers aligned with the Pulse Emitters
* Increased Repair Time
* Reduced Hull Strength

* Note: In concept this Starship is crewed by "unseasoned" Red Squad Cadets. You as the Captain will have
to take up the "slack" for your raw cadets shortcomings. You can defeat enemy targets with this ship. We
wanted to add an element of "desperation" that was evident in the DS9 6th Season Episode "The Valiant".
Your "Skills" as a Starfleet Captain and Helmsman will be tested.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

______________________________

U.S.S. SAO PAULO * NCC-75633
______________________________

* 4 Dual Forward Photon Torpedo Launchers
* 4 Forward High Powered Peregrine Class (Maquis Raider) Pulse Phasers

* Modified Deflector Phaser Beam Pulse (5 to 10 Minute Recharge)

* Note: The Modified Defector Pulse can cause 15 to 25% Damage per strike. On a Borg Cube 10 to 15%.
The Pulse's maximum yield is 35%, depending on how damaged your systems are. The blast yield will only
last for several seconds. With the potential to overload your Deflector Array and disable the Sensor Array.

* Uprated Shields / Speed
* Ablative Armour

* Note: This ship's weaponry is based on Angosian Technology (Blue Hue Phasers) and equipped with an
"experimental" Seismic Torpedo system designed to disrupt shield harmonics. Though extremly powerful,
The Thunderer's Alien weapon systems comsumes a great deal of warp power. You are about to become "very" 
familiar with your Engineering station. This Starship will test your command decisions and skills as a Captain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S.S. IRONHEART * NCC-74217
_________________________________

The absence of a torpedo system will in no way impeed your ability to "drive" your message
home to enemy targets. Bajoran Pulse Phasers and Turrets are remarkably "Accurate". With
a "Experimental" Vulcan Repair System, the Ironheart is one of the Stronger ships in the Fleet.

* Note: The Bannockburn is a joint venture between Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force.
Basically, the Bannockburn will behave like a Klingon Bird of Prey. Virtually identical in her
overall performance to her sistership the U.S.S. Greshna. The Bannockburn has the ability
to hang longer in the battle arena. Best used as a "First Strike" vessel.

* Note: The Starship Lynx is virtually identical to her sistership the Avenger in overall
performance. This is keeping with the mandate to confound the Borg's ability to adapt.
The few minutes it takes the Borg to adapt. This will give the Fleet a fighting chance.

ships in the Defiant Fleet. Delivering "Time On Target" accuracy everytime.
