i was just going through my odf files and spotted fed_prometheus_int
                                                                    fed_prometheus_partA
                                                                    fed_prometheus_partB
                                                                    fed_prometheus_partC
                                                                    fed_prometheus_sep

seeing the files seem to be here is there any way to make this ship buildable and do i have to find any more files as i have no idea what to do

The main Prometheus and the seperation is in the tech trees, so all you'd need to do is open the shipyard file (fed_eraudi_yard would be best) you want and add builditemX = "fed_prometheus" in the list (X is the number higher than the last in the list), presumably between other ships and the "all_alliedrepair" construction.

It's only a beta ship, though. It shouldn't be as good in-game as existing production ships, and has no build button or wireframe.

i have done it and i can now build it but the multi vector assault mode does not seem to work and is there any way for me to get some pictures for the tool bar so i am able to see it on the construction list

look closely:

The MVAM-thing didn't work before anyways, it was a modified saucer-seperation code like in stock A2 only.

i saw that i was wondering if there was any way i could ME find a picture and put it in my self and by god i hope thay put this ship in the game as a proper non mod build able ship it preforms very well once you mod the attack damage from 0 to about 2 (dont want to go to high would ruin the game if it could 1 hit enemy ships)

You could always ask in the modding-section; there was no Prometheus mod for FO recently and the one done by Tyler (for 3.0.7) didn't have a buildbutton either (he made it an experimental warpin).

not entirely true true.  The separation worked fine as it was a replaceweapon, but the integration was, as you said, modified saucer seperation.  Last time I checked though, it worked fine.

Well then, for me it didn't when I tried the last time

Ah.  It worked back before 3.1.0 but I haven't tried it since the newer patches, but I"m sure that with a bit of modification it could be made to work if it doesn't anymore.  It is a simple replaceweapon afterall.

There was one patch where it caused a crash (I think that was 3.1.3 or something), but it has worked fine since then

I just submitted a rankable Prometheus, though it doesn't have a usable MVAM. Each part gets a seperate name... must be because it still uses the saucer seperation-style of MVAM, or because each part has a name list...

What Dom said, I have seperated and re-intrigated it many times since 3.1.4 with no issues. All i've done with it is give it quantums from the sov(since it already uses its phasers) and when seperated the saucer has quantums and the other two sections fire photons from the torp neb(same range and a little less dps than sov quantums). I also changed the crew so that its 125 per section instead of 400.

Just use the borg  fusion cube of lol code, in the B5 mod you use the same weapon to combine fighters (and some fast ships like the white star) into squadrons.
