Shellley class pack by Pizza the Hutt
===========================================================

USS Curry
---------
This is the ship we saw in the DS9 Episode "A time to stand".

USS Raging Queen
----------------
This Ship is modeled after a plastic model shown on the Ex Astris Scientia page.

-my versions of the Curry and the Raging Queen serve as troop transports. They can also 
 deploy Type 4 shuttlecraft.

USS Shelley
-----------
This version is how I envision the ship. I think that this ship class was built completely 
with Excelsior parts around the same time as the Excelsior class. 
The Curry and Raging Queen variants came about when those ship's nacelles
got blasted off in a Dominion attack. They were both towed back to the next starbase and
patched up with whatever parts were available. Since it took too long to replicate* 
Excelsior nacelles, the engineers in charge decided to use the nacelles of two damaged
beyond repair Mirandas.

-My version for ArmadaII serves as a carrier which can deploy small starfighters.


Hornet Starfighter
------------------
This is basically the fighter from Starfleet Command ported into Armada II.

Type 4 Shuttle
--------------
I created this shuttle to bridge the gap between the shuttles used on the refitted
Constitution class and the ones used in TNG. The Type 4 belongs to the Excelsior Class
and similar ship classes from that era (Centaur, Medusa, Shelley). 
This shuttle is a kitbash from the Type 6 shuttle from Bridge Commander. I modified the 
body of the shuttle to look like a cross between the Type3 Shuttle from STIV and the 
Type 6 shuttle from TNG. I also gave it new nacelles, which are a smaller and stubbier 
variant of those used on the Excelsior class.

Due to its small size, the shuttle can sneak between asteroids. It is also equipped with a 
powerfull tractor beam.


* You might replicate a cup of tea within fractions of a second, but I assume
something as large and complex as a starship nacelle might take a few days. Otherwise Starfleet
could crank out entire fleets in a matter of days. I guess they are replicated in smaller parts 
and then assembled in a space dock.




Known flaws: wireframe not perfect, damage textures not correct.

Installation:
-------------

	Copy the files with the extension .sod into the SOD folder
	Copy the .tga files into the Textures > RGB folder
	Copy the files with the extension .odf into the ODF > ships folder
	Copy the files with the extension .bmp into the Bitmaps > Admiralslog folder

	Open the file fyard2.odf or fyard.odf (whichever shipyard you want the ship
	To be built from) and insert the line: buildItemXX = "fshelley" under 
	build Parameters below the last ship to be build
	XX being the next unused number 
        then do the same with frq and fcurry

	Save that file

	Open "tech 1" from the Techtree folder and insert this line:

	fcurry.odf      1 fyard2.odf           // Curry class 
        fshelley.odf    1 fyard2.odf	       //Shelley type variant
        frq.odf         1 fyard2.odf           //Raging Queen type variant

	Save this file, open "fulltech.tt" and insert the following line 
	
	fcurry.odf 0
        fshelley.odf 0
        frq.odf 0

	Then save and open "GUI_global.spr" from the sprites folder 

	Then add this line under federation build buttons:

	b_curry       gbfcurry     0     0   64   64
	b_shelley     gbfshelley    0     0   64   64
	b_rq          gbrq    	0     0   64   64


There is a wire frame, it is not perfect, but at least there is one 
just add this line into the gui global under wireframes
 
	@reference=128
	@tmaterial=interface
