Dreadsoul Class

This is a new kitbashed ship from FableRoy called the Dreadsoul class. It is a Sovereign variant and Is quite advanced and definately overpowered. It is especially effective against the Borg because of its large number of torpedo tubes.

It is one of these ships that you can only say "erm.." when viewing. By that I mean its neither good nor bad. In certain angles the ship's outlandish design looks good (screenshot 1) but in other angles in looks over-modded (screenshot 6). I like the wing like pylon and the extra nacelles but the actual quality of the ships model and textures leaves a bit to be desired.

There is one problem. Its bumps and specs don't work unless you activate and de-activate its cloaking device. If anyone can make them work all the time, then post the fix here. The Dreadsoul also has the stock "permenant cloak."

Starship Background:

30 Years after the Shinzon incident, The Romulan and Federation alliance was now full-pledged but hardly excepted by the general Romulan public. The Federation was fighting more Romulans the ever- only with a little help this time- from Romulans. With no real millitary strength from the Romulans, the best they could offer was new, cutting-edge technology advancements made by the Romulan study of Federation technology. A new internal deflector dish technology allowed for deflector beams and other spacial modifications to be deployed through weapon systems (and not have a vulnerable deflector dish sticking out of the ship.) With aging and nearly expired Sovereign classes, they were able to use the parts to create the Dreadsoul class. This operation was known as "Project Overseer." The Federation gave it newly developed propulsion technology, enhanced Bioneural circuitry, and experimantal trans-phasic torpedo tubes, allowing it fo fire large amounts of torpedoes at once. In the first week of the USS Dreadsoul being commisioned, A spacial anomoly appeared near Vulcan, and it was sent to investigate. Admiral Janeway was aboard to oversee the ship's Maiden Voyage. Appearing from the anomoly came a Borg tactical cube full of antimatter on a collision course to Vulcan. Scans of the anomoly showed that it was some transwarp slipstream. The Dreadsoul Used the new internal deflector technology to widen the slipstream and force both ships back in. The Dreadsoul barely survived the destruction of the cube, thanks to Admiral Janeway's expertise, and re-opened the slipstream to head home... Now, because of the significant resources necissary to build it, only a few Dreadsoul classes were built, using their New Permenant cloak to oversee the races in need of aid, and protect the defenseless.

Overall its a mixed bag, bold design but not the best quality.
