Armada 2 ships

Does anyone know if you can move ships from Armada 2 files to fleet ops? Such as 8472. Im sure shanges would have to be made in the offence/defence and they would not look as polished. Would it just be more trouble then its worth?

It can be done. But im not sure why you would want to, the models will look terribly out of place.

Also, using these sprites will make adding a ship / station / weapon from Stock Armada II into Fleet Ops much simpler, as it becomes simple copy and paste (without having to worry about adding sprite entries for the weapons if they are from Stock AII (these are the sprites from AII).

You will also have to calculate the offense/defense/system yourself and you can use this tool for that:

More information on editing the tooltips can be found here as well:

Good luck 

Incidentally, Blade made a mod which ports in 8472 into Fleet Ops
