Daedalus Class by Michael/Fireball

Background
----------
This is the Daedalus Class that will be included in my Dawn of War mod.
The ship features new models, new textures, new weapons, new sounds and new damage emitters. The ship is armed with 2 forward firing missiles that use the antimatter weapon odf and a brand new missile sod with a brand new "steam" trail that it leaves behind as it flies towards an enemy target. Feature are also new phaser textures with the fire sound from the SFC series of games. Also included is a damage mesh with damage textures for all 5 systems, including a new plasma stream emitter.

Happy playing
