Re: making shipsets?????
Another nice program is Art of Illusion, it's Java-based and has a powerful (though not quite intuitive) texture editor.

Re: making shipsets?????
The question is, what is your background and comfort level in programming? If you are heavy into coding and math, you will do fine with Povray. The scripting language is C-like, and after you play with it for a while you can do some really cool stuff with it. However, if you aren't comfortable with coding, you may find it a bit overwhelming. In that case, you may want to look elsewhere.

Re: making shipsets?????
Ya, Kodiak is right. That is one thing I didn't like about the other programs. Milkshape doesn't require a whole lot of math, but you are sort of limited to you abilites for shapes in the Program.
But some advantages to Milkshape is that if you have some artistic ability and know how to be clever with polygons and Skins, you could make some interesting, simple 3D models if you do it right.
