You can't
But you can..
1. Create your model in 3dsmax
2. export in .3ds (or any file format that 3dmilkshape supports)
3. Download 3dmilkshake and cmp exporter
4. import your model into milkshape
5. Add hardpoints and correct size (check tutorials)
6. export into game via cmp exporter. (check tutorials)

ok I converted it to a lwo and tried to follow the lightwave tutorial, I got to the point where you take it over to milkshape and when I import the file, the ship comes out all kinds of messed up, stuff flying everywhere. I Think that it it welding it self to the hard points that were put in... not sure though.... any ideas???

dont put the hard points into the max model.try adding them when you get your model into milkshape(they are only small triangles any way).
