Description of the Mod File
---------------------------

Howdy everyone!
Here's a little ship that hasn't really been given it's proper due. The Federation Saber Class! There is very little canon info on this ship as there are no decent screencaps of her underside, so many half-decent versions have been done but none are really close to the real thing.

Until now... 

Star Trek the magazine has released full blueprints of her a little while ago, so I've tried to do her justice. Have fun with her!



Steps to install
----------------

1.  Make a new directory in your 
    Starfleet Command\Assets\Models\  folder called "_F_TNG_Saber"
2.  Copy the contents of the zip file into the new 

    "Starfleet Command\Assets\Models\_F_TNG_Saber\" folder.

3.  Finally, open the shiplist.txt file located in the
    Starfleet Command\Assets\Specs\ folder with Notepad. 
    a.  From here you have two choices you can:
	1.  Replace the model geometry of one of the existing ships
	    with the following \Assets\Models\_F_TNG_Saber\Saber-i.mod (Saber.mod for SFC I)
    b.  Or :
	1. you can insert the Saber stats inbetween the existing row
           entries of the shiplist.txt file. (sfbspc.txt file in SFC I)
	   <<CAUTION:  This may cause some problems with the function of SFC,
           espically during Multiplayer and Single player campaigns>>
