Well Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this. But i have been working on this mod for a really long time, and after several attempts to desiging ships i have failed really bad. [BOOOOM!!!!! the shot gun goes!!!] Any way u guys are the more experianced ship builders and i was woundering if you guys would be interested in leanding a hand or some really good tips on how to build ships. Well when i found a site call efni.org me and a buddy came up with this. Well what my mod is and am pretty much finished but, but looks weird using excisting ships is. Here's the story. Its between the time the drahk attack and sheridan dies. Earth has been cured but has gone fanaticle about keeping earth safe. I really haven't wrote the story out yet but its goes someting like this. Earth goes on the offensive attacking the drakh and anyone who had dealings with them. Earth retakes mars. Attacks the Drazi, Centrui, Vree and much of the Lonaw (weaker races of the ISA) but the ISA dosen't like it kicks EA out of the Alliance and the Earth Alliance goes to war againts the ISA. The Minbari stay out of the war. but the warrior cast wants tp fight. With the tech earth has achieved and given make them a dead match for the isa until the secerte weapon was shown, Hybrid Earth Shadow ships. Nova Delta, Warlocks, and the Tillman class. All seems lost for the isa when, the drakh allie themselves with ISA. Then the **** hits the fan when a thirdspace fleet is discovered at the age of the rim! The vorlons and shadow's return. thats about it i have so far but hell it sounds fun.

Races in my mod
Earth Alliance:
ISA:
Drahk:
Minbari:
Third Space Aliens:
Vorlons:
Shadows:

Interesting storyline, well from what little you posted about it. Creating ships isn't easy, I myself haven't even got the hange of it yet, I have instead learned how to convert and polly reduced other game ships.

You firstly need a modelling program that exports to sod. Milkshape 3D is the cheapest choice for this, 90% of the modellers I know use it, as do I. Google it to find the webpage.

You also need a graphics program, there are plently out there, I myself use a rare one so I won't go into suggesting any.

Also there are a few tutorials out there, but none on actual modelling. I suggest you learn how to convert and polly reduce to start with. A2files is the best place to find help on these matters as alot from the community go there.

But there is nothing wrong with using models from other projects like B5A2. The guys who created it are more than kind with allowing people to use their material in public mods as long as you give the proper credit.
