This MOD, "Day of Reckoning" is copyright (C) by Anthony Kinyon.  I did not
use anything from anyone else except what came in the stock game.  All
modifications were made by me.

A word from the author:
This is my first attempt at releasing a publicly available MOD for Star Trek:
Armada 2 from Activision/Mad Doc.  I hope you enjoy it!  I would appreciate
constructive comments/feedback on this MOD.

MOD Features:
-This is not a complete list.
-There are now Defiant class and Advanced Defiant Class.  Both are
 powerful and have stronger shields and improved weapons.  Adv.
 Defiant Class are stronger and a little larger.  Both can cloak.
 Adv. Defiant Class have Borg torpedos, using technology Starfleet
 captured from disabled Borg ships.  Normal Defiant-class ships
 have the same torpedos as Sovereign Class ships.
-Galaxy Class starships are stronger and have more special weapons
 than in the stock game.  Conjoined, they have the shield harmonics
 disruptor to disable enemy shields.  Separated, the saucer section
 has Warp Core Overload like the Steamrunner Class.  The battle
 section has the Chain Reaction Pulsar.
-Sovereign Class ships are stronger.
-Venture class ships are now refitted and worth making.  Starbases
 can now build them.  They have increased crew, better shields and
 vastly improved weapons.  They are cheap and when used in groups,
 can make a substantial difference in the outcome of the game.  They
 are still quite weak against most other ships, especially when
 fighting solo, but they are greatly improved from how they were in
 the stock game.
-The Federation now starts with the USS Incursion (Incurion Class),
 the and the USS Enterprise E (Sovereign) with Picard in command.
-The Enterprise E has improved stats but is not by any means
 invincible.
-The Enterprise D is one of the ships that will be built as Galaxy
 class from your Advanced Shipyard (at random).  It uses the regular
 Federation voice, not Picards.  It is not a hero unit.
-The USS Defiant is buildable as a regular ship, and it not a hero unit.
-The USS Voyager is buildable as a regular ship, and is not a hero unit.
-Intrepid Class starships have improved shields and stats.  They are
 now fitted with a Transwarp Drive from captured Borg technology and
 resurrected technology from the USS Excelsior as seen in Star Trek: 3.
-The Borg start with the Borg Queen's Diamond, a hero unit.
-The Romulans start with a warbird.
-The Klingons start with Martok's Negh'Var.
-The Federation starts with an improved Nebula class ship.
-Buildable Nebula class ships have not been changed from stock config.
-Sabre Class has been removed from the game and replaced with Adv.
 Defiant Class.
-Federation turrets have improved shields.  Other races turrets are
 not changed but will probably be made comparable in a future version
 of this MOD.
-Several ships have changed crew compliments, changed number of officers
 and various adjustments to special energy, shield recharge rates, and
 max health.
-Klingon Birds of Prey have improved stats/health.
-Several species 8472 ships have improved stats/health/shield recharge.
-Overall Klingon faction is stronger than stock game. Improved stats.
-The game is relatively balanced, but further improvements will be made
 in a future release.
