I always try to get permission first because that usually takes longer to get than to get the model across. And do you have a download link for it where it can be d/l'ed from? Then I can do a test conversion and see how well it ports..
But one of the things that you're going to find is that during the getting anything across from Armada, the biggest problem may be the Armada community. They've had stuff ported over from Armada to SFC without permission in the past, just as the SFC community has had stuff ripped into BC without permission. That's why I don't port without permission.
And I know how angry that can make you, it's happened to me now at least five times and is the reason why I now include credits with the file stating that if the ship is to be ported to another platform outside SFC, that I be contacted and have permission asked of me. So far, that's been ignored and has caused me to have some serious thoughts of quitting any Trek work whatsoever. You can't steal what doesn't exist after all..
I'm sent a private PM here and also sent direct email in an attempt to get the latest batches (posted up for Christmas in the BC forums) of ported SFC ships' credits corrected (basically, to have my name included somewhere in the list), but I've not heard back at all from the individual in 5 days now. If it goes a week, then I'll post a general message here where he's less likely to miss it.

- Galaxy Nacelles: These were borrowed from Andy "Deemon" Johns second remake of his Galaxy class for the Millenium Project 1.9se
- Textures: You may recognise them as being from the USS Nakota (Guncutter Class), which was Mind Blips (If I'm not mistaken).
As for the rest of the mesh, I'm not worried to much about personal credit, and please feel free to remake the mesh if its to low poly. Besides which I've done my fair share of SFC to Armada conversions/rebuilds so its time to replay the favour that this community has done.

Do you have a download link to this one?

And hp/dp'ed as well.. there's only two things.. one, what class and size is this ship? Something like an FCV?
And how does one get ahold of the remaining people in the credits for release permission? From what I remember, Deemon (if it's the same fellow) doesn't like to have his stuff ported..

This is the SFC 2 version.. but just noted (again) that you wanted this in SFC 3 as well.. which means a bit more work. Expect that in a few days..
And someone had mentioned a Venture (the little scout from ST:Insurrection) conversion as well.. that's done as well, and sitting on my HD. Will check the credit file and see who put it out and ask for permission to release..

I've played Star Trek Invasion a lot and thought the Typhoon was a fairly original looking Fed design.
But the real stars of the game are the fighters. Even the Borg have 'em too. If you want a cheap and simple shooter to play, pick it up if not for the fighter designs.
