readme says it's the M1 class ship, does it mean it has total of 6 guns in 6 turrets? It looks nice on the download site, but M1's usually don't have place in my games. It would also be nice if you'd post other stats, like speed, steering, cargo space, mountable weapons etc.

Screenshots would be nice too...

Well...M1 class is even not the right class for this ship, cause in the original game there are noch heavy cruisers

ok..here some stats:

7 Turrets (incl. brigde)

- Bridge 4 * G-HEPT
- Front-Turret 12 * G-PPC
- left and right 4 * G-PPC
- top and bottom 4 * B-PPC
- rear 4 * A-PPC

The stearing is a little better than the Argon M1. Speed is up to 237.5 Km/h.

It has 30 Dockingbays for fighters (yes..i know its small for M1-Class ship)

and a cargobay-size of 10000 Units XL.

[edit]

One thing...the shots are made from Max....not from the game. So it looks ingame a little different (exscpecially the MODIFIED-Version).
And....it is expensive

Ah, so it's a mini M1 with twice the firepower of the M2

. Could be the right tool for terraforming the X-Universe

. I'll have to try that, although in my current game I can't even afford an M6.

I don't see it in any Argon shipyards, I can script it in alright, but can't buy it?

Hi. Very well done!

By the way, there is an error in init script that point to some library script that is not there.

I have small request, is there any chance to see vessel called “Uriko-Mory”?

What about sleep stream fighter for Andromeda Ascended fighter complement?

If you have time and will to implement all these vessels mentioned above, it would be more consequent story line of fighter class vessels that are now being represented by single Heritage Class M1 carrier ship.

First, there is a mistake by me. I've forgotten to pack a script to the archive, so there is no Ship at the shipyard to buy. As soon as possible, i update the archive

Well, there might be the slipstreamfighters, and other ships of the series. If anyone do the models i can integrate it in the mod

Moonraven · Post by **Moonraven** » Wed, 10. Aug 05, 08:12

Ok..its good to have more than one webspace. So i can simple switch to another.

Look at the first posting for update

xalien · Post by **xalien** » Wed, 10. Aug 05, 22:34

Hmm, I've installed a missing script file but still nothing.

And it's max steering is stated to be 2.91% - second worst of all capships (Python - 2.85%, Colossus - 3.99%)

1. What have you done to install the Mod ? I've installed the mod in a fresh x2 install...and it runs without problems.

2. Curios. In the TShips-file the colussos is has 0.6 (turn, pitch, roll). The Andromeda 0.7.

Must be problem on my end then. I have a few unsigned script packs and burianek's laser/economy mod, so I renamed your mod files to 06 and placed them in a main directory, could that be the problem?

I can still script it in, which I did and took it into Khaak sector for a test ride and must say that speed and steering feels good, nice balance here

, also ring-shaped shots from the front turret look very neat

Moonraven · Post by **Moonraven** » Thu, 11. Aug 05, 07:09

If you put the scripts (both..the setup and the lib) into your scripts-folder and the 44xxxx.xml file into the t folder, there should be no problem with renaming the main file.

So are you going to put some demo screenshots up or what?

If I like the design... I might just put it into Terradine. (NOTE: I've never actually watched a single episode of Andromeda)

But I'm not downloading anything PERIOD, if I don't get a look at it first.

No pic always bugs me too but your caution is warranted. I'm not too fond of this ship because I really don't like the tv series it's so uh... well boring lol. I only watch it cuz that hottie Lexa Dolg plays the ship's robot avatar on the show oh and that new blond girl hehe yeah those two are the only reasons why I watch the show lol I don't even pay much attention to the story which is just awful I can't believe roddenberry would write something like that lol.

The ship itself is huge it has a small army of robot workers to maintain and build fighters and land based vehichles and assault machines. Some of the first few episodes of the show reveal the main bay of the ship... wow super big for sure. This ship shouldn't even fit through a jump gate it's so big and there are some other ship designs from the show of older ascendant type ships that look better than this one that would be worth modding.

Why did they name it "ascendant" thats so not ship sounding lol. Andromeda would have done just fine.

Because the names are all evocative, not referential. This is funny in that I'm not a huge fan of the show, but I am a huge fan of the names.

Had this been any other sow, the ship would have been called "Andromida" and it would have been classes with a similar name "Defiant class", and at best the other ships would be named for Greek heros.

But they are named so much better and more evocatively "Andromida Ascendant", "Wrath of Achellies", "Glorious Heritige". I suppose one man's trash is another man's treasure.
