Alpha MOD 1.2a

Thank You for Dowloading Hopalong [N/A]'s Alpha MOD. It's a 
simple beast that changes the firing style for several ships 
from both player fleets. None of the damage stats has changed, 
so all of the ships still deal equivelent damage, just with a 
little more flare and style (i.e. weapons that fire less 
frequently do more damage to compensate and vice versa). If 
you're reading this, you've already unzipped the ALPHAMOD.ZIP, 
but before proceeding, make sure that directories R1 and R2 
exist in your Homeworld Game directory. What follows is a 
brief description of the modifications made.
