Iwo Jima hardpoint addon

The Iwo Jima class is probably the single most unworthy inclusion of stock Armada II. This glorified warp sled is hardly a worthy transport vessel for the mighty Starfleet Corps of Marines. One of the first things I modded into my game was to give the assault type of ship a worthy class of vessel to call its own-- the Akira class. No sense in them travelling in separate troop transports. Especially when that transport barely seems capable of bearing the Marines' spare phasers into combat, let alone an actual complement of troops.

Either way, there are numerous perfectly good uses for the warp sled. And these new hardpoints from adm_tyler should make it easier to take Interstellar Machine's beautiful re-texture of this otherwise unremarkable vessel and go into combat and glory one way or another. (Even as a cargo ship. Or a tug. Or maybe a repair vessel.)

Note that you WILL require this original file in order to get these hardpoints working.

I really do like Interstellar Machine's replacement for the Iwo class. It looks elegant and deadly in comparison to the stock Iwo Jima. I have alwaysd been bothered by the facty the SOD has no Hardpoints because it meant I could not use IM's ship properly. Thank you for fixing this. 10/10!

I think you are harsh on the Iwo Jima. It is a very useful vessel, and I appreciate the weaker pulse phaser so that a person doesnt "overpower" and destroy what you are trying to take over. This is useful for capturing Construction ships, weaker stations, etc. Sometimes, tactics speak louder than tactial fusion cubes.
