2. Choose a construction ship, building the Hangar.
The Stock construction ship of the federation is fconst.odf. You can find it here:
"...\Activision\Star Trek Armada II\odf\ships"

-Open fconst.odf with your Windows Texteditor (Notepad) or another Programm like this.
Look for the text:

buildItem10 = "forbital"
buildItem11 = "ftrading"
buildItem12 = "fupgrade"

-Write under the text: buildItem13 = "hangar". Then it looks like this:


buildItem10 = "forbital"
buildItem11 = "ftrading"
buildItem12 = "fupgrade"
buildItem13 = "hangar"

-Attention: If you have already an entry with buildItem13,
you have to choose an other construction ship because
construction ships can only build 14 stations.

-Save the file and close it.

3.-Choose the directory: "...\Activision\Star Trek Armada II\techtree".
Open the file "fulltech.tt" with the Windows Texteditor and search "fbattle.odf 0".
Write under this entry:

concordeaf.odf 0
hangar.odf 0

Then it looks like this:

fbattle.odf 0
concorde.odf 0
concordeaf.odf 0
hangar.odf 0


-Save the file and close it.

-Do not change the directory but open the file "tech1.tt" with the Texteditor.
Search following Entry:

fbanshee.odf 1 fyard2.odf // frigate (banshee class)
fspecial.odf 2 fyard2.odf fresear2.odf // special (nebula class)

-Write under this entry:

concorde.odf 0
concordeaf.odf 0

Then it looks like this:

fbanshee.odf 1 fyard2.odf // frigate (banshee class)
fspecial.odf 2 fyard2.odf fresear2.odf // special (nebula class)
concorde.odf 0
concordeaf.odf 0

-Search in the same file the entry:

fedpod24.odf 1 fedpod14.odf // research pod (engine upgrade level 3)
fedpod25.odf 1 fedpod15.odf // research pod (life support upgrade level 3)

-Write under this entry:

hangar.odf 0

Then it looks like this:

fedpod24.odf 1 fedpod14.odf // research pod (engine upgrade level 3)
fedpod25.odf 1 fedpod15.odf // research pod (life support upgrade level 3)
hangar.odf 0
