To be honest,
You only need three model for a race:
A ship,
A shuttle,
A station.
Others can be modded or added.
BB, CV, BC, DN, CC, CA, CL, DD, DW, FF, POL, FA, etc. These are just ships.
SH, FTR, PF are small crafts that can be launched from ships.
SB, BTS, BS, LP, SD, these are stations.
Given two races, three model each, to show modders how things work. I believe a lot of people will be interested.
A version 0.1 release just needs 6 models and 1 match script.
