Description:
The Aquiescent class starship is the kind of warship Starfleet needs beyond the present threats. A sort of Defiant-meets-Akira design, the Aquiescent has been one of my favourite ships for BC, for a long time. Now, Cabal (aka frostmourn) has brought us this beauty for Armada. Version 1.0 offers not only a new ship, but a wireframe, build buttons, new weapons, and new weapons textures!
One question I've always had stems from the class name. Aquiescent, assuming a spelling mistake on the word "acquiescent", can be defined as "giving in". This is one ship that promises to be anything-but.
Note that this is technically intended for A1, but there's no reason why it couldn't be used for A2. Also, it uses four 1MB textures, but there are 512KB textures included for those of you who prefer them.
Definitely download worthy.

Posts: 127 | Actually, I made a phaser that does no damage, has a blacked out texture, a short lifespan and can't hit the target. Then I gave it the same range, arc and fire rate as the weapon it was for. |

Posts: 473 | I think this one was made for BC first, wasn't it? It's actually something I intended to port for my A3 Leftovers series. Looks like frostmourn4 has beaten me to the punch on this one!

P.S. Resistance is futile, eh? |

Posts: 12 | Hi nice to see the old 'rosa making a trip to armada! This is one of my fav ships too, in fact I'm currently building an illuminated 1:420 scale model of her for my desk at home. I noticed on the first comment that the class name was said to mean 'giving in' this is not strictly true. The class name aquiescent meansthe ability to 'conform to' willingly. The class name was derived from the class's ability to use mission specific saucer pods that are interchangable at space dock. Therfore giving the class acquiescence!!
