If I understand you correctly, you want to make new ship types right? Say Juggernought, Intercepter etc?
If that is correct, then go to your DATA folder in your SEIV directory and open the VehicleSize Txt file.
From here, decide what you want to add. Say you want to add a Juggernought. Well then, you would decide whether or not to place it after the Dreadnought, before the Base Ship, or After the Base ship.
Once you have decided where to put it, you can either copy an exsisting ship type, I.E. Dreadnought, and rename it Juggernought. You can edit the cost and other items as you desire. (That is pery self explanitory as you will see)
The next thing is to assign it a Bitmap image. If you want to use a new image, simply put that image into whatever race folder you want, and then change the Juggernoughts BITMAP name to the name of the new image. (Example MyRace_Mini_Juggernought
Change the BITMAP name from say Dreadnought to Juggernought. So it looks like this:
Bitmap Name := Juggernought)
If you want all the races to have a custom Juggernought image, you will have to put one in each of their folders -or- you can simply copy the Dreadnought, and rename it, and repaste it into the folder. This way, the AI will use the Dreadnough Image for the Juggernought.
The same thing for fighters.
I hope this answeres you question.
