Description of the Mod File
---------------------------

This neat ship caught my eye when I was surfing for cool trek ship models on the
now defunct 3dmaxforum.de.
It instantly reminded me of what a Romulan Defiant must be like...

The high-res 3d model designed and created by Nico Weigand was heavily based on
somebody else's design, the "Khitomer" class, made bya felow who goes by the
handle "EndlessSpaceTime". Both designers gave me permission to recreate the
ship for low-poly gaming... and here it is! Enjoy.



Steps to install
----------------

1.  Make a new directory in your 
    Starfleet Command\Assets\Models\  folder called "_R_TNG_Nierrh"
2.  Copy the contents of the zip file into the new 

    "Starfleet Command\Assets\Models\_R_TNG_Nierrh\" folder.

3.  Finally, open the sfbspc.txt file (or shiplist.txt in sfc II) located in the
    Starfleet Command\Assets\Specs\ folder with Notepad. Better yet, use the
    shipedit program to edit the SPBSC13.txt file (or shiplist.txt in sfc II)... you can get it here:
    http://shipedit.starfleetuniverse.com/

        From here you have a choice... you can:

	1.  Replace the model geometry of one of the existing ships
	    with the following \Assets\Models\_R_TNG_Nierrh\Nierrh.mod

        Or :

	2. you can insert the Shrike stats inbetween the existing row
           entries of the sfbspc.txt file.
	   <<CAUTION:  This may cause some problems with the function of SFC,
           espically during Multiplayer and Single player campaigns>>
