INTRODUCTION
Jolan tru, Centurion! We bring greetings from the High Command. Yours will be the first Wing where the newest addition to the Praetor s Warbirds will be deployed. Here is the TOS Romulan V-11 Stormbird. When I completed and released the TOS Adversary Pack. I was not able at the time to include this ship even though I very much wanted to. I am happy to report this ship will now be available for service with the Star Empire. There are many TOS Starfleet ships available here at A2Files. It is past time the Centurions here were given an addtional Warbird to oppose the ruthless machinations of Starfleet. Here it is. Complete with everything needed to place it into your A2 game. Install this at once! Go forth to win glory for the Empire!

//***********************************************
CREDITS Everyone you need to know about so you know whom to praise for such a fine ship!.

Here are the modders over on BCFiles whom first made this ship as part of the Klingon D-Pack Mod. I have included all of their names from the original ReadMe because it was obviously a group effort and all of them should be recognized for their fine work. Without their efforts, I could not have done this at all. I have also included a copy of the Readme from that mod as a part of this so due credit will be given.

Gene Roddenberry - for giving us such a cool place to play.
Chiletrek - for never being so busy he cannot answer a question or ten. Also for being an outstanding role model to follow.
Starfox1701 - For weapons and for introducing me to the mysteries of MS3D. I owe you a beer, Bro!
thunderfoot006 - for porting the model, texture adjustments, lightmapping(alphas), hardpointing, ODFs, AdmiralsLog pic, build button, wireframe, installation instructions, packaging, playtesting and anything else needed to bring this to A2.
YOU, for downloading this mod.

WHAT THIS MOD IS

A patch which contains everything needed to install the Star Trek TOS Romulan V-11 Stormbird completely into your A2 game as a map unit.

//***********************************************
WHAT THIS MOD IS NOT

Tested for compatability with either FLOPs or PP 1.2.5. My laptop cannot play FLOPs so I saw no sense in trying to test this patch with these. I cannot answer ANY questions concerning this patch and FLOPs or PP 1.2.5 because I cannot use them together. I make mods for ST:A2 with the 1.1 Patch applied because I think this version of the game is still played or modded most often. If you want to try this patch with FLOPs or PP1.2.5 you do so with the prior understanding that I cannot help you with, nor be held accountable or responsible for, any problems which arise from combining or using this patch with either of them.

There are no Borg textures. Why? The Collective would consider this ship and her weapons too antiquated to adapt, improve, or add to their already impressive collection of technology.
They would immediately recycle all of this for the component resources the ships contain. If you want Borg textures anyway, you ll have to make them yourself.

If the above statements mean you now dislike this mod, I am okay with this. I made this mod for me in the first place.

//***********************************************
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

This patch has not been tested for compatability with either PP1.2.5 or FLOPs. My laptop cannot play FLOPs so I saw little sense in checking this. I have Yacuzza s Tactical Assault and Achilles Art of War installed. I have nt yet run across any problems with either of these but I did not really push either install to the limits of the game engine either.

This patch has been tested only within the SP Campaign and Instant Action vs. my laptop. I do not know if it will work in online Multiplayer. I accept no responsibility for your computer, disc, or application. This patch was checked for viruses and completeness before upload. If it does not work correctly the first time, please go back and read the Installation Instructions. Then, install the mod again AFTER you read the Installation Instructions.

RELEASE INFO:

Because this is a port of someone else s work, I cannot allow my normal policy of free useage with credit this time around. The Klingon D-Pack group worked very hard on making this as good as they could. The models and textures are theirs and they have the right of final approval as to where their work goes. The model was imported by me and saved to MS3D format, but it is STILL their model, so they have final approval rights there as well. Starfox s weapons are his too. He has the same rights and priveleges with the weapons as the original makers of the models. Everything else in here is mine. Anything which has NOT been specifically mentioned previously is my work. You may use this in anyway you see fit, as long as you credit me. I do not need to be contacted prior to you publicly releasing the ship or Map Editor menu ODFs, Admiral s Log pic, build button, or wireframe as part of your own work.

//***********************************************
CONTACT:

Any doubts, questions or suggestions, please contact thunderfoot006 from here via PM or email.
All of the people mentioned by name herein are blameless for anything which may be wrong with this mod.
All of the mistakes are mine alone.

Compliments? Well, now! I ll respond promptly to your kind words.

Complaints? The Tal Shiar shall swiftly and silently show up at your habitat to explain to you the folly of opposing the Senate, the Praetor, and the Empire.
