Information about this MOD___________________________________________________________________
This mod contains the Armistice Class and her Captain's Yacht,
which were completely designed and created by me,
and everything else needed for the installation.

When you undock the Captain's Yacht,
you will notice that the Armistice Class has an empty dock.

The detailed interior of the Captain's Yacht is another interesting feature.

New weapons, borg textures, damage textures and the lod technology,
that allows your PC to handle more polygons, add the final touch to this mod.

Errors & Help________________________________________________________
Any Errors or Problems? Look here!

Problem: The lights and blinkers look terrible, they are much nicer on the screenshots.
Reason: You have not installed my "Nu Lites" mod.
Solution: Go to:
"http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Nu_Lites_Running_Lights_Mod_and_Addon;97031"
download that mod and install it.

Problem: The ship is white / the texture doesn't show up.
Reason: You have a very old PC with a bad graphic card.
Solution: 1) Delete:
"fwdpscha21.tga", "fwdpscha21_b.tga", "fwdpscha22.tga", "fwdpscha22_b.tga"
"fwdpscha23.tga", "fwdpscha23_b.tga"
2) Copy
"fwdpscha21lo.tga", "fwdpscha21lo_b.tga", "fwdpscha22lo.tga"
"fwdpscha22lo_b.tga", "fwdpscha23lo.tga", "fwdpscha23lo_b.tga"
3) Rename the copied files so that they match the deleted files:
"fwdpscha21.tga", "fwdpscha21_b.tga", "fwdpscha22.tga", "fwdpscha22_b.tga"
"fwdpscha23.tga", "fwdpscha23_b.tga"

Problem: The ship model looks terrible, the screenshots show a much better ship.
Reason: Your graphic settings are not set to maximum.
Solution: Start your Armada 2, go to the graphic settings and set "Details" to maximum.
If your PC can run Windows XP or newer, your PC can handle maximum settings.

Problem: The game crashes when the ship is built.
Reason: You have not installed the Armada 2 Patch Project.
Solution: Scroll up and read the text beginning with "WARNING!".
