Make your changes, then put it in Data>Missions (make this folder if It does not exist) with the same name as it had before. Because It's not in a VP.file but It has the same name as the file that Is, It gets loaded first. (this is so you can make changes without making new VP.files)

So I'm guessing that the game will read the .tbl and the .FS2 mission file first over the ones originally stuck in the .VP correct?

Correct; loose files take priority over the same filenames in VP archives.

Tried it out and it worked! I managed to break out the museum piece rapier fighter just like they did in BSG! But is it just me, or am I doing better in a rapier ship than in an arrow (Ive successfully modded the 5th prolouge mission and piloted the rapier, performed better in that mission.)

Maybe you might want to try making some missions of your own which balance it out better then? :D

One of these days, I will have to teach myself to do some true FREDing. In the meantime, it would just be a means to change my player craft.

Though I didn't mean to sound like I'm complaining about the rapier's. I was just curious. Actually, in another mission in the darkest dawn campaign I was supposed to pilot an arrow but changed it to a rapier instead. The rapier's secondary laser cannons were very effective against those capital ships, something that I don't think the arrow has (being a scout craft after all). Im not sure how you are supposed to fight a capship with an arrow..

But then again, I'm new to free space & wing commander, what do I know....
