Want to Start developing?

1. grouping, idiots guide please. Or maybe one of those Youtube demos might be an idea... sort of step by step thing showing as you go.

Select the faces on your model that you want to regroup, and in the 'groups section' hit "regroup." It's pretty much as simple as that, but it can take a while to get used to at first.

2. scale, importing a ship? How do I know what size is right? How do I avoid problems with the ship being toop big for certain berths (as in what size is the maximum to fit into the smallest berth in the game?)

Import an existing ship from the game of similar size and scale your model to fit the right size, then delete the imported model and centre your ship.

3. What poly count should I be aiming for with this? I am worried I might be too high.

What kind of ship is it? I think for a fighter/bomber you should aim for 2000~, and for a capital ship up to 5000 or more depending on the size of the ship.
