This gorgeous model was created by Pneumonic81. I have converted her into Starfury format.

I have taken this beautiful ship a step further and made it a working purchaseable ship. Here are some links to screenies;
At the ship dealer
With Hardpoints shown
With firing arcs shown
Components display
And finally, in action

To get this working for you, you must first download the ship from Cleeve's site and follow step 1 of his instructions. Then download this zip file and unzip it to any, or all, campaigns you may wish to purchase this beautiful ship in(Please backup your original data first). Then, when you have enough cash, go to a shipyard and purchase (Terran, Nuetral, or Pirate, although greatest chance is at Terran).

It does look really nice. I'd have done the weapon arcs differently, though. The saucer mounts (following SFB, anyway) would be 180 degrees or less, with the front ones foward 180, sides as 180 at most, but probably from directly forward to about 120 degrees back from the front due to the hull obstruction from the built-up rear saucer. I don't know if the torpedo launcher can be modded in SF, but as we know from Wrath of Khan, the torpedoes could fire both fore and aft, coming from the center part of the top arch protrusion thingie.

Oooh, bitmaps are going to destroy your download limits.

Better change those into GIF or JPG or PNG before your host cuts you off

Very, very nice ship there!

I wonder if we could get Aaron to modify the firing point code enough to make the weapon have multiple points to choose from (take the closest one to the enemy) so that the large phaser strips on some ships can fire accurately.
(And one torpedo component could fire either forward or back from the rail)

Ooo, multiple texture files. Didn't know Starfury could handle that! Now to figure out how to do it in Lithunwrap..would make my life so much easier.

EDIT: the files I grabbed don't seem to work. No purchase screen bitmaps.
