This is a poly reduced version of LC Amaral's Galaxy EVO mod that he released for Bridge Commander, I've lowered the poly count by about 3000 on all 3 sections, and I've resized the textures so they don't slow the game down. I've used the patch project to create the saucer seperation weapon for the ship, so there's no need to replace the stock galaxy seperation weapon. I've given the ship the class name of the Titan Class, since that was the name used on the original BC mod, it's easily changed in the ODF files if you want to call it something else.

Included in this mod are:

SOD files
Ship textures (with and without the registry)
Borg textures (with and without the registry)
Build buttons (for all 3 sections)
Special weapon buttons
Ship ODFs
Weapon ODFs
Special Weapon ODFs
Wireframes
Admirals Log pictures

fgeint.odf 0

Save and close the file.

11. Open the name of whatever station you want to add the ships to as buildable units (if any).

Add at the bottom of the list of buildable items:

buildItemXX = "fed_galevo" (where XX is the number after the last one on the list).

If you also want to make the saucer and stardrive sections buildable, add at the bottom of the list of buildable items:

buildItemXX = "fed_galevo_saucer" (where XX is the number after the last one on the list).
buildItemXX = "fed_galevo_stardrv" (where XX is the number after the last one on the list).

Save and close the file.

That should be all you need to get the ship to work in your game :)
