Curious if this mod could be done

Hey all, I have been loving this game for a while but I'm still relatively new to the whole thing, and don't know much at all about modding.

I am curious, though, to see if any and/or all of the Robotech ships could be built?  I would think they could, since I've messed around with building the ships myself.  I would think they'd be big on missiles overall and the SDF1 and SDF3 (I don't count the short-lived SDF2 though it looked kinda cool) would have a major laser and smaller blast weapons and missiles too.

Anyhow, if anyone wants to tackle it, I'd be very honored to try and help.  I have the pencil and paper RPG for all of the Robotech "genres" (Macross, Southern Cross, Invid Invasion, and Sentinels) and they have REALLY great details for the bigger ships.  I don't think it'd be needed to make the various destroids or veritech or really too possible, but I would love to send the SDF1 or 3 into a battle and watch it tear things up.  I have all the styles and ship layouts for the Robotech Masters, Invid, Zentradi, and the Zentradi/Earthen mix that was used for the Sentinels style ships.

Anyhow, if you want to either give it a shot or help me figure out some things and want to chat, feel free to send me a private message.  Thanks in advance to any that want to help me and/or attempt this!  Have fun and take care!

Four words: K H S M. The mod giuves you a massive amount of freedom to designe any ships you want. However, if you actually want to make new models for anything, then you are royally screwed. None of the free modelling programmes are at all capable of doing anyhting, and those that are capable cost around $1500 American.

You can get older (but still fairly new) versions of modeling software for much, much cheaper. Also, if you're a student (college), you can aquire it for very low cost as well, if not free from your university.
