What does this mod do?

Foundation Technologies (aka FTech) is designed to revolutionise the way scripters 
and 
ship modders can add (new) technologies to BC (and it's ships).
It provides scripters with the basic structures to create new things of which you only 
need a couple of things to add and you have a new technology and it allows an easy 
setup 
for loading your new technology into BC.
And it provides ship modders an easy way to include technologies to their ships.
More on these things later.
It also incorporates Inaccurate Phasers for as well the torpedoes and pulse weapons 
and for non-player ship.
In the standard package there will be several technologies included of which you will 
be familiar through ATP.
FTech is more or less designed to be "the next level" for ATP. But all the 
technologies are plugins.


Requirements: 
	The Foundation (get it with BCMP or BCMI).
	Patch is optional.


Installation: 
	Unzip the contents of the zip to your Bridge Commander directory.
	And make sure the contents of the scripts directory (from inside the zip) 
	comes in BC's script directory.
	And not to forget, make sure that the directory structure stays preserved.
