Century Class

Description
The pride of the future of Starfleet, the Century class starships is a medium sized cruiser / explorer from the same lineage as the Intrepid and Sovereign designs. She combines the sleek elegance of the Enterprise-E with elements from the design of newer ships like the Nova and Intrepid. The result, designed originally for Bridge Commander, has been a vessel long-coveted for Armada II. And now, thanks to k_merse, that ship is finally ours for the modding.

Be forewarned, though: The poly count is a bit high (~6800). And the textures are monstrously huge. All of which spells \"slowdown\" if you\'re not paying close attention or if you\'re running a computer older than a certain age. Scale down the textures if you need to, \'cause otherwise things might get a little choppy if you put too many of these out in space.

However, in game, she handles beautifully. The understated grace of this design is all too copiously evident. It\'s like poetry with warp engines.

Oh, and she\'s more than capably armed to deal with anything that gets in her way. No doubt some of you will be looking to upgrade her weapons straight away.

Best of all, this is the complete package. Newer style of build button, high-resolution wireframe, a nice Admiral\'s Log pic.... all in a self-installer.

I give k_merse top marks across the board here. I\'m sure you\'ll find it\'s well-deserved. The only complaint I can offer is the presence of the registry on the hull, since I know some here like their registry-free starships (for spamming purposes). For those of us with high-end machines, the bigger textures will no doubt be appreciated. But maybe a \'low\' texture variant might be a good thing to consider for those who can\'t re-size \'em....

This is as close to a centrefold as we\'re ever going to offer here at A2Files. So take a good long look at this beauty. And download it NOW.
