I recommend you do a search of the tutorials forum using encounters as the search term. You will find many excellent tutorials there

To briefly answer your question, those entries refer to the various class definitions in shipclasses.ini, and are used to control which class or member group a ship will belong to when spawned.

i`d like to know how to define a shipclass .. cause it would help getting better control over encounters ..

example:

[ShipClass
nickname = sc_cruisers
member = class_cruiser

do i just add:

[ShipClass
nickname = sc_newship
member = class_newship ????

oh yea if that can be found in newbies questions don`t blame me cause i just got curious and it`s too late for more modding

Yep. Just make them up as you like, eg:

[ShipClass
nickname = capitalship_class
member = capitalship_dreadnought
member = capitalship_battleship
member = capitalship_battlecruiser
member = capitalship_cruiser
member = capitalship_destroyer

And then assign some ships to that class via the npc_class parameter in npcships.ini, of course.
