Starting a Custom Freelance

I started messing around with mods last night. Spent some time on it, started to understand some basics. Today, I got to play around with bini instead of the flmm. I love bini... and backups of course. Anyways, I've made some custom package deals you can purchase from the ship dealer on Planet Manhattan. Instead of the Patriot, you can purchase the Nomad ship. The nomad ship comes equipped with 4 nomad laser's, modified to be extremely deadly; a nomad disruptor, an advanced thruster with negligable drain and a boost over 500. Also, I managed to get the nomad to wear a sheild. Something I have not seen in any of the nomad mod's I looked at yet so far. All this is purchased with the ship so there is no need for any further shopping/hunting. I also have this set up with the other two ships in Manhattan. The Startracker is now the Eagle, and the Rhino is now the Titan. However, I'd like to make the Eagle and the Titan that are sold in Manhattan to be a little different from the ones in the omicron systems. Therefore, I think it would be cool to make them look like the nomad (the transparent blue plasma energy ball look). I thought it may be the texturing, or the material mapping itself... or maybe some code else where making that design nomad specific. If anyone has any idea's I'd love to hear them.
