Ship designs

[Jimpiff]

is it possible to self design or have designed specific ships...ie. Andromeda from the series, or one of the Star Trek or Star wars ships...?
if we can self design ships, what are the requirements.. I have rhino CAD software...ie. ratios, dimensions, programming language etc..

It's possible to design ships with ship modules that are already in the game, as this mod from Goliathmk2 shows.

I'm quite sure modelling with modules that are not in the game is not possible right now, though.
IIRC from one of linolafett's posts, designing ships in XR is a bit more complex than in the old trilogy.

Sounds like something they should definitely introduce with the successor of XR.

It's not easy but it's been done before. Using Collada import and export from your maya or blender program. The tricky part is the texturing that has to be done manually using a hex editor.

I did manage to get a fully textured BSG in the game (it did nothing was just the model in the engine) a few months after release but it wasn't easy and as far as I know it hasn't got any easier.
