							~~*Federation Valiant Class*~~
1. ~Background (K_merse)~
"The Valiant is the successor of the Defiant Class. No dubt, this is the best destroyer-sized starship in the Alpha Quadrant. It has four pulse phaser turrets and two quantum torpedo launchers with forward and aft tubes for quick and deadly attacks, and three short-ranged phaser arrays for defence. This weaponry and the incredible maneuverability make this sihp a deadly enemy for anyone who is careless enough to attack it."

**This was the original intent for the Model. In this release for A1 it is actually a powerful destroyer armed.Though I did not include Hardpoints for the phasers nor the aft tubes in order to keeps some stock balance.**

2. Installation
~Addons (ODF ONLY) to...... Addon folders
~TGAs to......... Texture/Rgb folder
~SOD to.......... SOD Folder

3. COMPATIBILITY
Uses a modified Fdestroy odf. Stock weapon names used

4. TECHNICAL NOTES
Contains wireframes (A2 type) and a build button. The wireframes are weird in that when a system of a ship is damaged the entire ship wll turn red. I did not fix this seeing as I actually like it.
