SPECIES 8472 MOD!

As time has passed, Species 8472 decided it was time for a re-think of their current armada.

Modifications to the collector's cost became the first for a re-assessment.

First they utilised the Cardassian's torpedo turret technology and created a Bombardment Turret.
Its sole purpose is to orbit a planet and wipe out any existing colony. This turret is heavily fortified but its sole purpose
is to wipe the planet clean of life and stay to shoot down any colony ships that try to re-colonize.

As 8472 do not colonise planets this can also be placed on all planets, it will orbit and fire on all enemy targets that
come into sensor range.

The next vessel to get the upgrade was the Behemoth, replacing Nebula Generation with Ion Storm Max, based on a twister it
spins round very fast and destroys everything in its large radius.

To install:

Locate Overwrite odf folder and place them in odf/ships (to overwrite existing files)

Place the special weapon into odf/special_weapons.

Now locate techtree folder and open tech1.tt, after the last 8472 ship enter:


After the last 8472 station add:

8472_bomb.odf 1 8472_AdvancedResearch.odf // species 8472 bombardment turret

After the last 8472 special weapons add:

gionstm2.odf 0 // ion storm max (behemoth)
(Align as needed)

Save and close, noe find fulltech.tt, open and enter after the last 8472 ship entry:

8472_bomb.odf 0

Then add after the last 8472 special weapon:

gionstm2.odf 0


Save and close.

Next locate Sprite folder; and open gui_global, after last 8472 entry add:

b_8472_bomb gbcturret2 0 0 64 64

Then after the last special weapon add: (Normal special weapons! DO NOT place after 8472 special weapons!)

b_gionstm2 gbionstm00 0 0 64 64

Scroll down and place these wireframes after the last 8472 entry:

8472_bombw1 cardwireframe05 0 192 48 48
8472_bombw2 cardwireframe05 48 192 48 48
8472_bombw3 cardwireframe05 96 192 48 48
8472_bombw4 cardwireframe05 144 192 48 48
8472_bombw5 cardwireframe05 192 192 48 48


There, all done! Now the weak WILL perish!

Will there be war or will Species 8472 rule supreme? You decide!
