it depends on the ship packs you downloaded. if they are autoinstall, then they could interfere with each other...if they are stand alone ships with no installer, they can be installed by you withno interefence with one another

I would suggest if that they are auto-installer ships or even full race mods, create a new folder and install them there and then transfer them over to the game manually. I have found this the best case in modding Star Trek Armada II because auto-installers can ruin lots of long hard work. I found that out the hard way a few years ago when I first started modding the game. First it started out as something to do for fun with the Transphasic Torpedo but then it turned into something more and also became a project to design/redesign a game for my college Game Design classes. Now that makes the problems worse because I can't start over anymore with the mod.

I do have one question though when it comes to installing mods, how do you install two races but when you want to combine the two together? What I mean is I've been trying to combine the Dominion in the Dominion Ultimate Mods with the Breen (a seperate race in Dominion Ultimate) but at times there are crashing on loading problems and I have only choosen a few ships and stations to use from the Breen Mod and edited the techtrees acordingly but am still having problems along with crashings that I think are due to the heavier hitpoints and shield/health that I've given both the Dominion (Breen) and Borg ships becuase the crashings happen duirng combat when the ships are either about to be destroyed or taken over. Can anybody help?
