"Developed after the Great War, and continuously upgraded in the years that followed, the Comet class supply 
depot is a modern, highly efficient small station, utilised by both the GTVA and civilian organisations for the 
administration and protection of cargo depots, or as centres for commerce and trade.  Although not itself armed, 
the Comet's sophisticated network of sensors and communications allow it to integrate with and significantly
enhance the defensive capabilities of the sentry cannon webs that are generally deployed with the station.

Designed with modularity and customisation in mind, the Comet is often altered to enhance it cargo storage or 
other capabilities. Common additions include cargo pads, additional storage facilities for atypical cargoes or additional
habitable space. Further to this, the GTVA have designed a variant with its own onboard weapons systems, for use in more 
volatile systems, however these are not presently available to the civilian market."



Hi! Thanks for downloading! 

Everything goes in the usual places, and it's already set up for you. The Low Res textures are for people with 
graphics cards incapable of using 4096 maps, or those with other performance limitations. If you've got a monster rig, 
ignore them.


     *** Notes ****

     It has a fighterbay! Yay! Fun fun. However, It's probably not the best idea to launch any fighters out of it. 
It's very small. It was designed for use with the Mercury class shuttle. If you want it to launch fighters, you'll 
probably need to tweak the bay paths. This is easy in PCS2. Give it a go!



     It has some unusual docks. Those docks along the red(dish grey) arms are meant for the Modular Construction Kit. 
Specifically, they're meant to work with the cargo docking pad. I had planned to add spots to dock other elements of 
the kit, but then I realized that I am very, very lazy. Again though, this is easy to add in PCS2.



    There are two pofs? What is this madness? Well, one of them is armed, and the other is not. Use them as you feel 
is appropriate for your story and setting. If you only want one, delete the other one from the .tbm file. But be aware 
that even the armed one is not very well armed, and is covered in blind spots. It wont defend itself against a clever 
opponent for very long.



     *** Usage ***

     Want to use the Comet class in your Freespace mod? Fine! Go nuts! No permission required. I like it when 
people tell me they're using my stuff, but that's not a requirement or anything. If you want to use it in games other
than Freespace, then please let me know in advance. This will very likely be OK. And if you want to use it commercially, 
then definitely talk to me first. This will very likely not be OK due to the fact that it's the work of more than one 
individual. But really, who's going to want to use it commercially? That's just crazy talk. On with the modding!
