What This Does(and Contains)

This Mod is designed to give attention to one of the most neglected areas of fleet ops,
the np races. The object of this mod is to add ships from the smaller more ignored races from
Star Trek, and, in hope, to become a worthy addon for Fleet Ops.


WARNING: before you ues this there is somthing important to know; in the ds9 technical
manuel it stated that cardassian vessels diplayed enormous varitiy in the matreils used for
construction. It linked this to the fact and problem of lack of consistant resources.THERFORE
i have reflected this in the mod by not having a set sterotype, E.G. the Feds are defencive,
the Klingons are offensive, The Rommies are system, The Cardassians are neither,
their ships have a wide varrience in abilty, Also Each of their ships takes a twenty percent
stat reduction in one of it areas, either
Offence
Defence
System or
Propulsion
This creates significant strenghs and weakness in the cardassians

NEW Things That Are Not in stock fleet ops

NPC threat Level,
This is gauged by the ability of the ship
and is based on the Attackpower And intrinsicvalue Lines in the ODF
designed to let you know what your fighting

Range Varience. This is depicted by two range values in the dynamic string
Indicating The Differing Values


in short this add 5 vessels from the cardassian union into the fleet ops Non-Player list,
it gives you the abilty to place them as map units, NOT buildable units. these are the ships

Hideki Class Scout
Strengh: Speed
Weakness: Offence

Brinok Class Patroler
Strengh: Speed, Offence
Weakness: Deffence

Kaldor Class Heavy Cruiser
Strengh: Attack, Defence
Weakness: Speed

Galor Class Battleship
Strengh: Attack,
Weakness: Deffence

Keldon Class Battleship
Strengh: Attack, Defence
Weakness, System, Speed

Admiral Ben Mayson(yes i mean the avatar)

insurance company,,,,, they must get tired replacing his starbase after i blow it up........again......................and again.............................and again..................................and again..........................and again.......

Also the Venture Class scout, i have put that little ship through so many cruel tests thats its not even funny. (literalry EVERY weapon, model, and icon in this mod was at one time on the venture),
