***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.
