Star Trek: Armada 2 TOS Pelham Class Construction

Description
The Pelham class is an oddity. A TOS construction ship. Relatively speaking, we don't have very many TOS ships at all so it's always nice to see a ship round out the collection a bit more. However, from memory and a quick look in the ships archive I don't think we actually have a TOS construction ship at all.

This therefore is actually quite significant, as it allows you to finish off a TOS fleet. Of course, we can't actually produce a contemporary fleet for the TOS federation to face off against, but that's hardly this ships fault.

The ship looks similar to a Miranda with the nacelles mounted sideways instead of vertically and fits in with TOS designs very nicely, managing to tread the fine line between being nicely detailed and not looking to advanced for it's time. All in all, this is an excellent ship well worth downloading if you have a TOS side.

Pelham Class Construction Ship

I've often wondered about construction ships for the TOS era, and what they may look like in the Armada II world. Out of all the designs for cannon ships out there, I decided on a retro Oberth type hull, with the nacelles connected directly to the primary hull, engineering conducted in a secondary hull and a large enough saucer-type section to hold not only the impulse drive but hangars large enough to hold not only shuttlecraft but workbees and materials therein to construct stations, yards and the like.

Unfortunately the working copy of Armada that I had on this laptop is gone. I thought I had a boot sector virus which caused my DVD drive to pop open and not operate, so I did a back up and a OS restore, and I cannot install another copy nor play one because I am now without a DVD drive and dont have a spare external drive. So no screenies :-( . All I have is a Storm Viewer shot.

I was watching 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three', and the name and numbers rolled around in my head, which is where I got the name and the registry from (NCC-123). For all you serious Trek enthusiasts out there, the registry may belong to another vessel, just keep in mind this is not a canon vessel, nor a canon world, just made for fun!

Although there is mention of Type 1 Shuttles onboard, this model does not include any, just noteworthy information to suggest the size of the vessel and its mission.
