-------------------------

What's changed:
Ok, so here's what changed from 1.3
- HP cleaned and values reset(more cannon), all rear phasers removed (the ships killed too easy )
- Entire Ship(s) re-scaled to just 33% of previous size for a more cannon appearance in game
- weapons re-scaled to re-scaled ships
- model(s) slightly tweaked models for both the Vengeance and Achillies, textures tweaked slightly

Description:
This mod has two Achilles class ships in it. The USS Vengenace, and the Achilles. 
Both ships are nearly identical. The Vengeance is meant to be a more effective killing machine but slightly more difficult to control more so than the Achillies.  
The Tri-Cobalts are meant to be Base and Borg killers only, and are not to be used in ship to ship combat without top StarFleet authorization, or the ship is at risk of capture 
Whats Included:
- USS Vengeance
- Achilles
- Texure options (3) including Deemons original, anyone can be used on either or both ships
- Fanfic history of the ship, titled USS Vengeance

Where this ship came from:
This ship is from the Dominion Wars game, and the attempt was to make it AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
to the one we see in the intro movie and the game. 
The Vegeance is more of a 'Pit-bull' ship with a good story to go with it. 
I know this model and it's textures are not as up to date
as many newer models, but the ships are still alot of fun to play with, especially when you need
the Federation to show some real 'teeth'!  I also hope that a top modder will someday come out with a
brand new update or variant of the Achilles model.


Install:
Just extract the ships into your BC directory, ( OVERWRITE any files from previous installed versions completely ) then add the ships in 
via BCMP. 
If you have newer Tactical weapons textures, for example from a major mod installation,
it may not be necessary to overwrite those files with these files. 
------------------------

Testing:
These ships were tested on both an EOL 1.4 install, and a clean install

Balancing:
This ship was meant for Very HEAVY combat and attacks from multiple ships at one time. However, the HP values in this versions
are significantly less than version 1.3.  Once the ships start going down, they should go down much faster than before
but fighting till the end.
Bug list:
None known - even the dreaded 'hole' effect that was frequent in the past ships never appeared on these (yet...)
------------------------

This file was made a good while back, but the computer it was in was actually stolen.
I recently put in a old backup cd I made in a my new system looking for fonts, and there it was!
I really do not remember putting it in there, but I am glad I did!
P.S - In this file was actually a 3rd model that was to go along with this, a MVAM Ramming ship.  It works fine actually,
a ship textured almost black to simulate experimental re-programmed Borg nanites to hold the ship together.  The
problem is giving the ship enough value to do any significant damage to hurt anything without bouncing off - not very
'believable' I guess.  Any suggestions are welcomed...
