Can you edit retail FS2 ships?
I'm looking to make a new Orion POF similar to the GTD Carthage from BP2 (I LOVED it. WAY better looking than the original). Where would I get a basic Orion POF that I could edit and add the textures I want (all of the ships would be awesome).  Any recommended programs to do that? I can prob find a tutorial on adding the textures. I def want my own Carthage style Orion :-D

PCS2 is your biggest friend. You just need to replace the textures (known as capital01 to 06) used by the Orion-destroyer (you find the POF in the mediavps-assets) with the textures (chg-capital01 to 06) used by the Carthage and then save it.

Once table-based texture replace is available, you'll just have to make a new table entry with different textures. Until then, you have to either make a duplicate pof with the new textures, or change the texture manually in FRED on a per-mission and per-ship basis (that second solution was the one used in WiH).
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Re: Can you edit retail FS2 ships?
just did it. thanks guys! looks awesome! will I have problems using it? like will I need a table for it? or should it run fine?

ok, so I did the text swap, saved it in my POC (it's a BP mod, and created a table based on the orion TBL Info in FRED's "Edit Ship" area (copy, paste, and a little editing). I don't see it in FRED when I go to load it however. any ideas?
