How do you make new ships for freespace? I've really never done it before and would like to learn how. My first one I have in mind is a GTVA ships the size of Infernos Gargent.

Click on the FAQ link below and check out the modding section. Lots of guides in there to help you on your way.

A word to the wise though. Stay away from superjuggernauts and the like. They tend to be somewhat underwhelming to the general community. All the modelling newbies want to make ships that can easily crush the sathanas. It gets boring after a while. I think Geezer said it best in a conversation with me on ICQ.

You'll need a 3d program - I reccomend 3DS Max (Or GMax if warezing is an issue for you).

Not that I would in any way advocate warez.

That sort of thing's just not me, you know?
