***INFORMATION***

After releasing Star Trek Armada Alliance v1.0 it became apparent there were
many errors causing crashes and reducing the game play experience. I have
tried to correct all of these bugs and hope I have, if not then I guess
there will be a patch 1.2 but hopefully this is it. I took the opportunity
to bring several features and enhancements to the mod I simply did no have
the time to do before the original release, these are detailed below.

and super turrets require this.
