Well...ta-daa! Here's a treat for you (and us). The birthday of Armada 2 Files would not be complete without a ceremonious donut to help move along the festivities. Armed with 5 brightly burning candles (that be the glows) and a selection of other Donut-filled weaponry, expect this to decimate the enemy forces, with a smile on your face all the time! The donut, a tradition in the history of the site, has been with us since the very beginning as the thing you can rely on in a poll, or the comment that doesn't quite sum up your thoughts on a news item due to being over-joyed by the matter.

As for the details, she takes a bit of time to build, with quite a large amount of resources to get her operational, but has pretty hefty weapons to bring about on the enemy. Certainly, a fleet of these would destroy much within its sight. It looks fantastic (and certainly fits the part of being very donuty) and also has some Borg textures (just assimilate it and watch the candles)! So, for those wanting to find a way to truly celebrate the birthday, well, this is it because if you're going to celebrate, do it in style.

In short, I think my thoughts and your thoughts on this, are pretty much summed up in Donut.

Happy birthday and thanks to FahreS!

There is a German readme within the package./Es gibt auch einen deutschen readme, der innerhalb enthalten wird.

Fahres, great job :-)

Quote:
i never got the donut thing wot is it all abot?????

Its the long standing site joke thats traditionally been raised on each poll as the "I don't care" option. Its grown over the years a little, notably when it came within a single vote of winning a poll and things got a little carried away. See the original Donut for a good explanation of what happened back then.
