Ok, so the only modding I have done is changing a few lines in text files and I would like to try my hands at modeling. I like most of the ships in the game but like alot of you I would like to see others in it. My question is, what is a good texture editing program. I downloaded a trial of photoshop but it wouldnt open dds. files. Is there an inexpensive program that will open both formats. I don't know if I will like modeling or not and don't want to spend a fortune on a program I won't use anymore. Also, is it possible to modify the existing ships. I was pondering resizeing some of the ships and even had an idea of modding the shape of a Kol and making is smaller to fill a destroyer type role.
