Salutations,

I purchsed almost all of my ships. I have spent about $700, thusfar, on sci-fi models that I liked. I use about 10-15% of them. [:)]

That being said, I have created a few things on my own and included them in my mod. The Lance missile is one of my own creaton. I have also modified many of the models to suit Starshatter and my desires. All very time consuming, but worth it when the ships/weapons look and perform the way one wants. For example, the Justice Carrier ship is a heavily modified and added to model. It wasn't a carrier type ship originally.

Of course, I have deffed all of them myself. Good deffing is challenging and time consuming. I have even taken a pilot and cockpit from one model and transfered it to another. That took some twisting, turning, resizing and modifiying to get things to fit and look right. [;)]

I am confident that I could create my own ships. It's a matter of time. I find it VERY time consuming to create original designs. I don't like to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Still, I want to present a quality mod for others to use and adventure with or against.

I hope I am succeding. [:D]

Your helping sell me on the game! I wasn't aware people needed to buy models! Here i was thinking it was a matter of converting existing images into a format that is playable in SS. being a B5 fan I was hoping to mess around with that.

Can you edit/rename existing systems or create whole new systems on a strategic map?

Whoa, wait... You don't have to buy any models. That's just the route I took. Most, create their own models from scratch or copy them from other games and convert them for use in Starshatter. Also, I know of no modder that charges anything for their work, including me. [:'(]
 
I had to convert my purchased .3ds models into magic .mag models for use in Starshatter.
 
With the ability to undat the games files.. one can do pretty much what one wants to do with anything if you have the time and inclination.
 
Please ensure you have a backup of any original files changed. [:-]
