Star Trek: Armada classLabels
Pretty much all elements, that are used in Star Trek: Armada are based on a piece of code, that is addressed by its name, the so-called class Label, or classLabel. These are basically hard-coded, so for modding they hold the space for the creative process. Whatever you want to achieve, has to work with one of the below classLabels.
Ship and Station classLabels
| ClassLabel | Object |
|---|---|
constructionrig | Constructor |
craft | Standard combat ship |
freighter | Freighter, a sort of mining ship |
mining | Mining station |
pod | Research pod |
research | Research station, this includes tier 1 as well as tier 2 research |
sensor | Sensor station, pulse defense or torpedo defense stations |
shipyard | Shipyard, including tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 yards |

upgrade | Officer upgrade |
Standard Weapons classLabels
These classLabels are used mostly but not exclusively for the standard weapons, like photon torpedoes or phasers.
| ClassLabel | Object |
|---|---|
cannon | Cannon Label for Phasers, it tells the game to give the sprite a linear trajectory. May also be used for Special Weapons, like the Computer Override |
launcher | Used when we want projectile like weapons, like Photon Torpedos or the Commando Team entering shuttle. Used mostly when animated textures or SODs are involved. Beam effects should not be used in conjunction with the launcher classLabel. |
phaser | Cannon label for Phasers ordinances |
photontorpedo | Photon Torpedo ordinance |
pphaser | Pulse Phasers |

Special Weapons classLabels
All special weapons are addressed by use of one of these classLabels. Some of them are classLabels only for the ordinance, some are for the acutal weapon.
