Hey everyone!

This mod is a collection of ships, some basic technology, name lists, music, and a few weapons.

This first (Beta) is essentially for quashing any major issues. There are replacement ships from the Galactic Terran Alliance in the following spots (not all have been replaced.)

Corvette - Titan Class
Destroyer - Garm Class
Cruiser - Fenrir Class
Battleship - Zakuna Class
Science Ship - Faustus Class
Orbital Station
Transport - Elysium Class
Fighter - Hercules
Bomber - Medusa
Construction Ship - Argos


#####

There is also a testbed for the Vasudans, you'll see a few portraits, but they don't work very well and they are the next project after cleaning up the GTA.

#####


Besides the ships, there are two new technologies:

GTA Laser Tech 1 & 2.

1 Unlocks the ML-16 Fighter Weapon, and the new shipclass to use it on, the Fighter/Bomber squadrons, using the hercules/medusa meshes.

With unlocking GTA Laser tech 2, you will get access to the Terran light turret (s/m/l), which features a new sound & icon. Just something for flavor. I'm sure there are better weapons in game. :p


####

Namelists are in place for both the GTA and Vasudans, however the Vasudan species is currently lacking (and portraits are not functioning how I want them to.)

There are also a few select pieces of FreeSpace 2 music from the original game.

############################

Upcoming plans for the immediate and near future:

## 1. Squash any major glaring issues from this beta upload.
## 2. Expand the current GTA roster to properly replace all leftover ships. (colony ship, mining/frontier/research/defense station).
## 3. Expand the GTA roster to include NSC ships (frigate, BC, light carrier, carrier, dreadnaught, flagship).
## 4. Establish the Vasudan species, begin the cycle over to bring it up to par with the GTA.
## 5. Events & Crisis threat (Shivans.)
