Fleet 2           README

Fleet 2 is an alternate set of racial fleets for use with VGA Planets 3.0.

Fleet 2 consists of five (5) .DAT files that replace the five corresponding 
files from VGA Planets.  They are:

HULLSPEC.DAT
TORPSPEC.DAT
BEAMSPEC.DAT
ENGSPEC.DAT
TRUEHULL.DAT

These five files, and this README file are ZIPPED into a file called 
FLT2_DAT.ZIP.

The documentation that details the changes is available in three formats:

Format                  ZIP File Name     Actual File Name

Word for Windows 6.0    FLT2_DOC.ZIP      FLEET2.DOC
Microsoft Write 3.1     FLT2_WRI.ZIP      FLEET2.WRI
ASCII                   FLT2_TXT.ZIP      FLEET2.TXT


TO USE:

To use the new fleet you have to copy all five .DAT files into your main 
planets directory.  THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE ORIGINALS!!  If you want to 
keep the originals (which I strongly suggest) then make a copy of them 
prior to copying these new .DAT files.

The Host must ensure that all players have these .DAT files.  If you get 
a mix of  .DAT files between players and the host, then you will have 
problems with the Tim Continuum.



FLEET 2 was re-designed by:

Bob Duchesneau  (bobd@gov.nb.ca)
Ed Hawkes (ed@gov.nb.ca)

Special thanks go to the players who made suggestions and criticisms to us,
and who helped playtest these designs.

Special thanks also to Tim Wisseman for creating VGA Planets!!
