Understanding ships

In this short guide I will try and explain how the ships are done. This will be quite a techical guide because there are many different files you will need to access, enorder to decode a ship. It is much more complex than in X3AP/TC.

Editing the ships is a bit of a complex task, because you will need to deal with multiple files (mostly xml's).

Here's a break-down of the guide
