There's a lot of ship packs you can use in the download section.
You can use any of them, just give credit where it's due, that's all!

Also if you see something you like in a Mod, just email the shipwright if that's possible and ask. Most if not all the model makers in this community are great people and would be more than happy to give you permission to use their models.
If you can't find out the information you need feel free to send me an email and I'll see if I can help out. My email is on the staff page.

I know bp. But I rather want to put in my own creations. But THX all the same

gonna be hard to put in own creations if you cant model them

but you could drop some pics of your concepts and maybe ppl will help out

@SWAT-OP8R: thats why I´m here. Maybe someone is willing to model me some things.

General Drake, I understand perfectly where you're coming from. I was in the exact same position as you; simply wanting to add my own creations to a mod.
A colleague turned me on to Milkshape 1.5 along with the associated "plug-ins" a few years ago and I began learning how to model.
It was amazing to see my "penciled creations" transform into flyable 3D creations.
As I experiemented, I learned and I learned quickly. I'm certain you will have the same experience.

If you have artistic ability, Milkshape will add a new depth to your creative outlet. It sure did for me.

Later on, I began learning how to mod and the results have been nothing less than amazing for me.

I encountered a problem this way. I made a very simple model (for a test) in gmax, exported it to milkshape, put a textute one it and exported the cmp and mat, then I turned it into a pilotable ship. When I wanted to buy it, FL crashes allways when I selected the ship from the dealers list. So it was with all my other trys to get a working ship. Then I downloaded the HW2-model pack from principia.to. I could get the battleship to work (using the hi_battlecruiser) - with a handling bug. Then I wanted to make a frighter out of the Hiigarian minelayer. This resulted in crashing when entering the Ship Dealer. I´ve triplechecked everything. All entrys match.
The Battleship remains the only ship I could get working.

Something else:
For my mod (Ultimative-FL) I want an Order starting ship. Unfortunately the Order has no LF. So I came up with the Idea of making one out of the Anubis by removing the Fin and the top engine ang making the wings more narrow. - Could anyone do this for me?
