Tal Shiar engineers have modified the standard spy satellite to meet
the ever-increasing needs of the Romulan Star Empire. The advanced
model now comes equipped with the standard Romulan cloaking device,
disruptor cannons for defense and a Tachyon Detection Grid to identify
cloaked vessels. In addition, the advanced spy satellite is now able
to deploy a long-range reconnaissance probe to extend the Romulan's
line of sight. Unfortunately, due to design limitations, the
reconnaissance probe cannot be outfitted with a Tachyon Detection
Grid; therefore, it is not able to detect cloaked vessels.

Introduction:

Tal Shiar engineers have modified the standard spy satellite to meet
the ever-increasing needs of the Romulan Star Empire. The advanced
model now comes equipped with the standard Romulan cloaking device,
disruptor cannons for defense and a Tachyon Detection Grid to identify
cloaked vessels. In addition, the advanced spy satellite is now able
to deploy a long-range reconnaissance probe to extend the Romulan's
line of sight. Unfortunately, due to design limitations, the
reconnaissance probe cannot be outfitted with a Tachyon Detection
Grid; therefore, it is not able to detect cloaked vessels.

and change rsensor.odf to resensor2.odf

rsensor2.odf 1 rbase.odf

==================================================
5. Mod the Gui_global.spr to add build buttons and wireframes
==================================================

Open the gui_global.spr file located in the Star Trek - ArmadaSprites
folder.

Add the following buttons under the # Romulan build buttons header:

@reference=64

# Build button for the Advanced Romulan Spy Satellite
b_rsensor2 gbrsensor2 0 0 64 64

# Build button for the Romulan Reconnaissance Probe
b_rprobe gbrprobe 0 0 64 64


Now add the wireframe references under the follwing header:

# Building Wireframes
@reference=128

# Wireframe for the Advanced Romulan Spy Satellite
rsensor2w1 rwsensor 40 0 40 40
rsensor2w2 rwsensor 0 40 40 40
rsensor2w3 rwsensor 40 40 40 40
