I would suggest:

Doing a search of the forums as this is possibly the most asked question in relation to ships. Try searching the MODELLING forum for it - using the search function which has been highlighted for you........making it easy as heck to see.

If you don't get any joy joy from that (trust me - you will actually have to spend about half an hour reading many different threads to get the answer........not much considering that asking people to tell you may take half on hour of their time!) - then I would actually try asking in the modeling forum.

Once you have posted there, this thread will disappear

Thankyou, and hope you find the information your looking for

Here is the script to place the viper in the game:

Liberty needed a fighter that could go toe to toe with the border and edge world pirates. The truth was the Defender was just not suited to face the kind of hardware groups like the Corsairs carry. However, the cost and material required to mass produce this ship was astronomical, so Liberty abandoned the project and sold the prototypes to the owners on Newark Station. What you see is the end result. A very powerful heavy fighter, which can hold it's own against anyting in the universe.</TEXT><PARA/><POP/></RDL></xml>"

Chip,
I did search the forums. I have been trying to figure this out for some time. I don't think it's a modeling issue since the stuff works in another mod.
I will re-post to the modeling forum if you wish? I understand why most people, including myself lurk and hardly ever post. Somebody always has to tell you your doing something wrong. I tried to find the fix, and could not, I am asking for help.
Thanks,
Calvanar

Hello,
I am not exactly sure how, but I fixed it. Must have just been some line in the code that just didn't work. I just basically copied the code from the working mod and then just edited the small stuff and then it worked. I know I tried this earlier, but it woked now. Feel free to delete this thread.
Thanks,
Calvanar
