Hi,

Once you have loaded the new graphics into one of the not used slots, if you then go to Edit->Ships->Ship Stats from the top menu you will be able to see all of the ships in the game.

To change one of them to use your newly imported model, locate the ship you want to change (or copy one and rename it) then just change the image/model to the one you want to use (see pic below).

just be careful when doing it though, I found that some ships that I imported worked fantastically, although a few (like one of the Constitution Refit models) would let me see it in battle, but when i clicked start fight as in start the current battle move it would stop saying Trek.exe has stopped working. I dont know which ships it is that do it but deffinately the Constitution or the Excelsior, it happened when a fleet of them two were in a battle.

becareful of the models you import an early problem was the phaser slot issue and so some models do not have phasers even if when importing they seem to -- tis applies to models from UM2 or UM at the very least read about this at trekmania.net
