Special thanks to Warp Nine of http://warp_nine.tripod.com for providing the foundation for this set. Without his ship set, this new work could not have been done.

PLEASE NOTE:
I took creative license with this set. I wanted to have a set that was consistent throughout. This meant that I could not use existing ship images. 

NOTE: This race no longer contains modified AI files. To obtain them, you must go to 
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=50;t=000001 and find God 
Emperor's post about new Borg, Klingon, and Romulan AI.

Nearly every images in this set was created using the Doga L3 Graphics editor. *CONTACT ME @ pcpatrocities@hotmail.com if you wish to use the original works contained in this set. You must have my permission prior to using them. Thank you. 


Design Creation & Research TXT files by God Emperor;

DesignCreation.txt:
I have reduced armor and point defense a little to increase weaponry slightly. I have adjusted the values slightly to ensure that Other Abilities are better prioritized. I have also eliminated the use of High Energy Discharge Weapons, relying solely on a combination of PPB's and Null-Space Projectors.

Research.txt:
As I have flagged above, none of my AI now research High Energy Discharge Weapons. This has allowed me to promote Shield, Cloaking and Sensor tech's, which in my play tests has made the AI more prone to launching surprise Cloaked Ship attacks. The Research tree for all races has been extensively revised to priorities those tech's that an AI really needs to be robust.
