Default Attempted new ship, issues abound

I'm attempting to make my own ship, which is turning out to be a horrendously trying task.

I worked off of the mod manual online, following the steps. What first started happening was that my ship wasn't appearing right, at all, and any attempt to use the ship (start the simulator or a new game) caused WW to crash. My first guess was that I screwed up the graphics part somehow, so I copied over the ship stats from the Garthan Carrier. When the game still crashed, I swapped out the hull definition as well.

So, now the game doesn't crash, but my ship, as designed, doesn't work. Are there more hard-coded limitations that WW hides, such as maximum number of weapon slots definable? If there are more magic numbers, they really need to be documented for modder's sakes.
