Varro Ships - FOR ARMADA 2

***********************************************
Introduction.

The Varro are a Xenophobic humanoid species from the Delta Quadrant, who live for many generations in the depths of space.

This mod will allow you to build the Varro habitat pods from a shipyard.
Build 8 of these pods and you can merge them to form a larger transport ship.
Get 3 transport ships together, and you can create the large Generational ship.

***********************************************
Note.

This mod requires the Fleet Ops Patch Project 1.2.5

(alternatively I guess you could just remove the special weapons and make the 3 ships buildable from a yard)
