It seems not many people are (or nobody at all is) using Doga so this is why you didn't get any answers.

Gmax12 is free and there are a lot of tutorials about modelling and transferring to MIlkShape and making the .cmp model files.

Get it from http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

Then I am sure many people will be able to help you with it.

The weapons etc are mounted on hardpoints, you put them in and give them names that the engine can recognise when you design your model, and then you specify the class of equipment you can mount on them in the shiparch.ini file.

So you need to get familiar with this and other files to get your ship fully working, but there are many topics covering these so that is not difficult.

Hope this helps.
