Jetfreaks Ship and Retexture Pack 2

- With the success and popularity (fluke) of the first ship pack, a sequel is surely in order. Do I hear a hell yes?

- Like before, this is a dedicated ship pack and retexture mod combined into one. This release features several previously released items which I have edited for personal use. Most of the items included features edits ranging from minor cosmetic changes to full fledged retextures.

- Do note that quality is the primary goal of this addon, several of these items have medium to high polygon counts.

- As requested, the original .sods and .odfs are included.

- All ships have been balanced to stock Armada 2.

- Unfortunately, wireframes are not included. You can retain the original ones if you have any.

- As a plus, several bonus content is included. You will just have to download and see for yourself. If you have been following this mod's development, you'll know what I mean.
