Copy fcentaur.sod file to Sod dir

Copy *.tga files to Textures\Rgb dir




2. Edit the techtree
--------------------
Now, go into the techtree dir and open the file tech1.tt with a text based editor(notepad will do)

Insert this line:

fcentaur.odf 1 fyard.odf

and save the file.

This is only for standard play mode, if you want the ship in other play modes just edit the other techtree files.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the sprites dir and open the gui_global.spr with a text based editor(notepad)

scroll down to

Go into the odf\stations directory and open the file fyard.odf

X is the builditem slot number in the game, so you can choose in which slot it should be.

Last notes:

It is up to you to balance the ship to fit your needs.

It depends on what kind of mod you got installed(i use it at the moment in a fresh armada2 install)
