Hugh, I'm afraid I'm a complete newbie when it comes to anything but Moray (where I'm only a semi-complete newbie), so I really don't know how good the other programs are.

Captain Kwok - I read the AC3D manual this afternoon (quite well written), and I can tell you that it does indeed allow you to edit vertices. You can "snap" them together or to a grid, and you can optimize shapes and cut down on the number of polygons, too. It seems like a pretty useful program, really.

The main difficulty for me will be creating the bitmap textures. I'm not that good at 2d art, so creating good looking "skins" for the ships will be quite a challenge.
