Good news - I got the programs Drake mentioned, and started to work on a ship - namely the
Miranda class Fed cruiser (the good ship "Reliant" from
Wrath of Khan).
Bad news - Drake, what did your BG model look like at this stage?

I'll tell you, for the Miranda it looked like a plate of angular spaghetti, or maybe the wiring diagram for a HAL 9000. I couldn't make heads or tails of it, much less shrink *all* of the parts down and fit them onto that one screen. 
If this is "normal", I may have to contract out the ship modeling portion of the mod, as I am still lightyears behind in just coding the campaign, and doing the ships would take forever.
