This is my 1st mod. This will add the galaxy class battleship's saucer to your armada with
one difference: Its bigger, better and stronger! You may have to change some of its parameters
to balace it (my ships are "godships" compare to the originals, so I can't test it properly :)
I already reduced its health and damage, but not the hitpoints).
You may change whatever you wish!
(One more thing the pics may look bad because i don't have the original textures,
but yours should be okay.)

Have fun!
