Mod Name: Akira class replacement
Version: 1.0A2 (Armada 2 only)
Author: Challenger - [email protected]

Content:
this readme file
4 texture files (2 high res textures (normal and borgified), 2 low res (the same))
1 SOD file
1 ODF file (adapted hardpoint locations for A2 weapons)

Information:
This is the Akira class, at least my model variant :D

Polygoncount: 866
Borg map: yes
Light map: yes
Steam: yes
Plasma: yes
Crew damage nodes: yes
Wireframe/build button: Armada 2 default
odf: adapted original A2

Installation:
just extract this ZIP file to your Armada 2 directory, it should immidieatly replace
the original A2 akira class.

!SPECIAL NOTE!
if you use any older graphics accelerator card, below GeForce level, i suggest
you open the Textures\Rgb directory an delete the akira2.tga and akira2_b.tga files.
then locate the akira2_low.tga and akira2_b_low.tga files and delete the _low par. 
otherwise your ship will be either transparent (the 512x512 texture which can't be displayed
by the older graphics card) or white (if you forgot to rename the file)

Other notes:
Feel free to use this model in your own mod. But if you release this mod publically, credit me
(Challenger) for the model as well please put a link to Project STAR:MADA into your readme
(http://www.strategyplanet.com/starmada/fgx/stamada). It's not much work, and will keep me happy ;)
Please do not alter this model in any way (texture and mesh wise). If you seek to alter the texture,
contact me please to discuss the matter.
Also it has come to my attention that there is a program called "Unwrap 3D" which can reverse convert
the Armada 2 SOD format, besides other formats. Please refuse to use this program on my model, it
would just bear trouble with it.
with the best regards, Challenger.
