Any ship playable

[Arisaya]

How would you make, a playable Viking II Gunship for example?
(I was trying to make playable versions of some ships. They come in several classes:
1) Novelty- small ships that you'll probably die in eridani with
2) Light- ships on the lighter end, but balanced. Get better starting credits
3) Balanced- ships "on par" with the starting player ships
4) Heavy- More advanced ships. Few starting credits
5) Superfreighters- kinda novelty, but is sorta balanced...
6) Battleships- Obviously novelty. *imagens flying a CSC or a ranx dreadnaught around eridani*)

This is really a just-for-fun kinda mod.

Erm... You know you go to get the eample of teh mod ship, and then change the data accodingly to each ship class.

actually, i was looking for a compilation of all the data. I found some of the files, but some ships (like the defender for example) I can't seem to locate them.

[edit]
I made a playable ranx dreadnaught. Uses the wolven image for it's shield and selection icon though. I decided to balance it for real gameplay. It has better accel and lower max speed, but it's still like trying to fly a brick. Due to it's poor maneuverability, I gave it an omnidirectional turbolaser (to make up for it being a unmissible spacefaring brick) and slightly better than normal beginning armor. It's pretty fun to play with.

I've made a base xml for all the large ships, and a more detailed one of the csc, with the sheild image, you can use that if you want, i stopped on the csc because the ships facings are kinda dodgy cos you cant make it 40 facings decently, cos of shadows on the ship

nevmnd- I made a file with all the ships in it- I think.
Most of them were tucked away in "encountersVol1".
20 facing with big ships is still kinda decent since they generally use omni directionals anyway so...
