				Star Trek Mod Version 1.9.2.2 



======================================================
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING:
======================================================

The Star Trek Mod is a mod of SPACE EMPIRES IV therefore it must follow the physics of this game. The Star Trek Mod is not a STAND ALONE GAME. It is limited to the physics and restrictions of SE IV, thereby many elements of the mod that would be considered as Star Trek Cannon, cannot apply. IE true warp drive, ship sizes, weapons, and star trek acting AI. Albeit I have tried, with the help of many fine people, to simulate as well as we can, a true star trek environment for our game play pleasure.

Read The INSTALLATION, and BEFORE YOU PLAY Read-Me Notes.
