Advanced Romulan Spy Satellite
Tal Shiar engineers have modified the standard spy satellite to meet
the ever-increasing needs of the Romulan Star Empire. The advanced
model now comes equipped with the standard Romulan cloaking device,
disruptor cannons for defense and a Tachyon Detection Grid to identify
cloaked vessels. In addition, the advanced spy satellite is now able
to deploy a long-range reconnaissance probe to extend the Romulan's
line of sight. Unfortunately, due to design limitations, the
reconnaissance probe cannot be outfitted with a Tachyon Detection
Grid; therefore, it is not able to detect cloaked vessels.

Introduction:
Tal Shiar engineers have modified the standard spy satellite to meet
the ever-increasing needs of the Romulan Star Empire. The advanced
model now comes equipped with the standard Romulan cloaking device,
disruptor cannons for defense and a Tachyon Detection Grid to identify
cloaked vessels. In addition, the advanced spy satellite is now able
to deploy a long-range reconnaissance probe to extend the Romulan's
line of sight. Unfortunately, due to design limitations, the
reconnaissance probe cannot be outfitted with a Tachyon Detection
Grid; therefore, it is not able to detect cloaked vessels.

Note: These instruction are designed to replace the standard Romulan
spy satellite with the advanced model.

and change rsensor.odf to resensor2.odf
rsensor2.odf 1 rbase.odf
==================================================
5. Mod the Gui_global.spr to add build buttons and wireframes
==================================================
Open the gui_global.spr file located in the Star Trek - ArmadaSprites
folder.
Add the following buttons under the # Romulan build buttons header:
@reference=64
# Build button for the Advanced Romulan Spy Satellite
b_rsensor2 gbrsensor2 0 0 64 64
# Build button for the Romulan Reconnaissance Probe
b_rprobe gbrprobe 0 0 64 64
Now add the wireframe references under the follwing header:
# Building Wireframes
@reference=128
# Wireframe for the Advanced Romulan Spy Satellite
rsensor2w1 rwsensor 40 0 40 40
rsensor2w2 rwsensor 0 40 40 40
rsensor2w3 rwsensor 40 40 40 40
