From what I can see from the screenshots, this is the normal behmoth scaled up by about 20% and retextured to a more grayish tint which I feel dosen't really fit in well with the rest of the bug ships as they are a orange/yellow. Still, this is different and its a good idea to expand species 8472's fleet slightly, even if they do already have more armour on their ships (in 1.1) than anybody else!


Star Trek Armada II - Armored Behemoth
By Reptus (darthreptus@yahoo.com)

Description: After the defeat of the Rift Maker, Species 8472 was left weak and vulnerable.
The Borg continued their futile attempts at assimilating them, but they were slowly wiping
out Species 8472. Of course, they finally realised that in order to survive, they had to
adapt. They examined the few superiorities the Borg had and found that all Borg ships were
heavily armored. Species 8472 quickly developed Bioarmor of their own, and the Behemoth was
the first ship outfitted with it.

Installation:

1. Copy all the files to their directories.

2. Add the following line to the Fluidic Gate build list, where XX is the next available
number:

buildItem4 = "8472_behemotha"

3. Add the following lines to the bottom of sprites\gui_global.spr:

Known Bugs
-----------------
The hardpoints weren't scaled with the model, making it look a little wierd when it fires.

Activision for the original Behemoth model.
Dragonmaster for the 8472 Dreadnought, which gave me the idea of armored 8472 ships.

actually..if 8472 for a2 were canon on release..you would find that the bio-ships and 8472 themselves are mostly greyish in color..with only hints of other colors.
