The Federation Excalibur Class dreadnought. It is a Borg Mixed Tech ship, equipt with a Transwarp Drive and a regenerating hull (passive)

As this is a mixed-tech ship, it doesn't come with lines for the AI.

cool.  Too bad it isn't the one with really good textures. http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/16/files2/76903_1.jpg

This is the one from the Starbase 34 compilation mod. Since I'm not too fond of the design (though, not against using it), I never bothered to look for another.

Since that model is apparently not up to standards, here is an alternate one...for people who want a better one.

Incase your wondering about the Nacelles, the blue ones are for rank 1-5 (which have a Prototype Transwarp Drive) while the green ones are rank 6/veteran (which has a proper Transwarp Drive).

Sorry, I forgot to add the Transwarp Drives to the file...

The screenshots for V2 were done in Storm3D Viewer, so they don't look as good as the actual ingame ship.

Much better!  I like it alot.  Thanks Tyler.

A 3rd version, just because I felt like it. This is not an upgrade on V2 (like V2 is to V1, depending on your opinion of the model), it is an alternative to the other.

The models are done the same, except this version is available as a regular ship with Blue Nacelles in all levels. The Green Nacelles are used by the Mixed-tech version, in all levels. Both versions conform to the same limit of 2 vessels.

I also edited the lightmap for one of the files, so the Nacelle glows are a little more realistic. As the model and textures are identical to V2 (aside from the 1 edited lightmap), the screenshots from V2 should suffice.

could somebody explain to me how I can leave out the alien technology requirement?

I wanted to add the ship also to my mckinley yard (I kinda use that as the yard where all the special ships are buildable when I want to mess around with them) but ofcourse it didn't work without alien technology.

thanks

just ensure that the techtree file to make sure that it dsnt need the alien tech as the only aspects that require thelien consruction or tech is the mixed tech yard.

Or you could just download V3, that comes with both a Mixed-Tech and a normal, non Mixed-Tech version of the ship.

thanks for the help, I got it working

I like the idea of version 2 better with the green nacelles at veteran status. I guess both is kinda cool though. it would make sence that only the mixed tech has the full transwarp drive.

is there a difference between the experimental and the actual one by the way? I didnt get them up to veteran yet

Here's a list of what the V3 veterans have:

Mixed-Tech version (Borg):

• 2x Phaser
• 3x Quantum Torpedo
• Transwarp Drive
• Regenerative Hull Armor (Increased Hull repair rate)
• Regenerative Shields (Increased Shield recharge rate)
• Reverse Engineered Borg Engines (Impulse speed greatly increased)
• Advanced Targeting Computer (The Phaser arrays can hit up to 3 targets)
• All attributes increased by 3

Normal ship:

• 2x Phaser
• 3x Quantum Torpedo
• Ablative Armor (Defensive value increased by 5)
• Regenerative Shields (Increased Shield recharge rate)
• Advanced Targeting Computer (The Phaser arrays can hit up to 2 targets)
• All attributes increased by 3

and what does the v2 have? I thought the only difference is the warp nacelles color?

posted on October 3rd, 2009, 9:14 pm

V2 has the Mixed Tech version mostly the same (the only difference is it has 1 Phaser instead of 2 and cannot hit multiple ships) and doesn't come with a non-Mixed Tech version.

I tried v3 it's awsome. I like it a lot. I seem to do something wrong though. it might be because I had v2 first.

with a veteran mixed tech the ship doesn't fly any faster than before. the tooltip also says that it can attack 2 targets but it does attack 3.

and just as an idea. is the veteran transwarp driver any further than before? I think that would be cool....
