Varro Ships
This is something unexpected, which looks rather awesome. From the only episode where Harry Kim gets any female attention (y'know what I'm saying), "The Disease" (VOY), here's the Varro. Avon's done a pretty awesome job with this mod. Here's how it works out:
Quote:
This mod will allow you to build the Varro habitat pods from a shipyard.
Build 8 of these pods and you can merge them to form a larger transport ship.
Get 3 transport ships together, and you can create the large Generational ship.
No idea if the ship itself will break apart and everyone goes their own separate ways, or what. Only one way to find out.
Worth a look!

Varro Ships - FOR ARMADA 2
***********************************************
Introduction.
The Varro are a Xenophobic humanoid species from the Delta Quadrant, who live for many generations in the depths of space.
This mod will allow you to build the Varro habitat pods from a shipyard.
Build 8 of these pods and you can merge them to form a larger transport ship.
Get 3 transport ships together, and you can create the large Generational ship.
***********************************************
Note.
This mod requires the Fleet Ops Patch Project 1.2.5
(alternatively I guess you could just remove the special weapons and make the 3 ships buildable from a yard)

Add the odf files into the relevent odf folders. (ships, weapons, and special weapons)
