Transphasic Torpedo
Nice new transphasic torpedo from Tottiboy, his first mod. We've seen transphasic torpedoes before but this one is accurate to the "Endgame" appearance (although it does look a lot like an artillery torp).
Worth a look.

1. History of the Transphasic Torpedo;
The transphasic torpedo was a Starfleet weapon developed sometime in the 2380s in a future alternate timeline.
It was designed specifically to handle the Borg threat, with input by Captain Kathryn Janeway and the crew of
the USS Voyager.
In 2378, the point to which Admiral Janeway from the alternate timeline had traveled back in time,
the admiral introduced Captain Janeway to this technology for use in reaching a Borg transwarp hub
accessing the Borg transwarp network to return to Earth. When entering the nebula where the transwarp
hub was located, one transphasic torpedo was enough to destroy a Borg cube. Despite the use of transphasic
torpedoes to destroy two cubes, the Collective had not yet adapted to the torpedoes when Voyager fired at
the interspatial manifolds in the transwarp network. (VOY: "Endgame")
2. What is it?
It is a special weapon. A WHITE transphasic Torpedo, like in the movie.
3. What does it do?
It destroys enemy ship (or friendly ships) with ease.
4. How to install it
4.1 Go to your Armada 2 directory.
4.2 Go to the techtree folder in your armada 2 map and open fulltech.tt. (can be done with notepad)
4.3 Add the following line in notepad.
gtransphasic.odf 0
4.4 In the same directory open tech1.tt. (can also be done with notepad)
4.5 Add the following line where it says "Federation special weapons".
gtransphasic.odf 0
4.6 Now go back to your Armada 2 directory and then go to your sprite folder.
4.7 Open gui_global.spr (can be done with notepad)
4.8 Search inside the file for these lines
# Special weapon buttons
@reference=64
@tmaterial=interface
4.9 Enter the following line underneath it.
b_gtransphasic gbfluxwave00 0 0 64 64
4.10 Go back to your Armada 2 directory and copy and paste the odf map inside the zipfile in your Armada 2 directory.
4.11 Now go to the odf map, then ships. And choose any ship you would like to have this special weapon.
4.12 Open the .odf file of that ship and search for this line
//ART PARAMETERS & WEAPON NAMES
4.13 Now enter these lines under the last weapon.
weapon## = "gtransphasic"
weaponHardpoints## = "hp**" "hp**"
4.14 Replace the ## with the weapon number. Like this.
weapon9 = "fbattlephot"
weaponHardpoints9 = "hp19" "hp21"
weapon10 = "gtransphasic"
weaponHardpoints10 = "hp**" "hp**"
You see the previous weapon is weapon9. So the added weapon will be weapon10. Same goes for weaponHardpoints##.
4.15 Replace the "hp**" with hardpoints of a torpedo weapon. To make it a bit more realistic. Like this
weapon9 = "fbattlephot"
weaponHardpoints9 = "hp19" "hp21" <--- As you can see the Hardpoints for torpedoes are hp19 and hp21
So the thing to do is to change the "hp**" to these numbers like this.
weapon10 = "gtransphasic"
weaponHardpoints10 = "hp19" "hp21"
Now you are finally done. :P
5. Credits
Me (for the odf modding) :P
And everyone else in the Armada2 modding community.
Without them I could never be able to make this weapon myself.
I've learned little by little. And now I know how to mod almost everything. :P Almost, everything.....
For questions you can always contact me;

It is a nice looking torpedo, a very powerful one too
But the downside is... The Sovereign's Corbomite reflector is able to deflect the torpedo, so make sure you aren't the one who get's hit when you fight the feds
And it looks like the artillery torpedo because it's the same torpedo only different odf. And it's the only white torpedo I could find. Not able to make my own torpedoes yet....
