GOG Version: In the Configure menu in GOG, uncheck the Auto update to newest version, then Delete the following folders from the main directory of your GOG install of Star Trek Armada:::
- Addon
- AI
- Misc
- SOD
- Sprites
- Textures
(This is done because a mere over write of the GOG folders will cause errors in the mod).
Once deleted from the GOG Star Trek Armada main directory, replace them with the folders in the Zip File from the Google Drive link, and overwrite the individual files from the main directory, with mine in the Drive zip.
Known Differences: Romulan and Borg UI's are a more customized standard version, as ATM the custom UI's the standalone version has, is causing issues in GOG (a patch in the near future will fix this)
Campaign is the original balance, but refreshed with new models, textures, and one or two updates to NPC ships, tested working for all 20 maps.
Multiplayer has several reworked and enlarged versions of the original multiplayer maps, all tested. For the AI on these maps, to have the AI build through the eras and be a threat,
please take a starter vessel (after your initial defense is built), and place it in a mutara or cerulean nebula within the pathing of the AI ships, for them to focus their attack on this ship,
which will have the AI properly evolve through the eras. This is a known issue with AI in Armada 1, and while I'm working on attempts to update it, this is the known way to resolve this issue.
Also, in Instant Action, are 66 Mission Maps (plus 3 bonus ones), that when using the setup document, allow you to play through various combat scenarios through the Star Trek Timeline, and optional challenges set forth in the setup document.
Three manuals are the in the MSFC download: one is the Main Mod Manual, a Hero Unit Manual, and the Manual for setup of the Multiplayer Mission maps of the mod.
The actual mod is being hosted from my Google Drive, as per agreement with the MSFC due to its file size.

While I cover most of the Prime Timeline, I take my own liberties with it to create my stories and thoughts on how the timeline would fit together, so the mod it Not pure Prime Timeline, because who can keep up with CBS/Paramount.
Also, I try to cover various other timelines, with mostly Positive takes as the Myriad Universe novels have always intrigued me.
