Ship Builder instructions...?

from StarControl Forums

Is there any Tutorial Vid or Instructions anywhere on how to use the Ship Designer... & not suck at it?

Also, how does one tell what Ship Parts are from what Race so one doesn't accidentally use the wrong Parts from the wrong Race in one's Ship Design...? Or is mashing parts from multiple Races together a completely normal thing to do...?

Many thanks for your time. :)

P.S. I've decided that I like the Tywom so if I ever get any good at Ship Building i'm tempted to try to build them a real badass mighty Warship for them to defend themselves with. }:) (Tywom Defenders are more fun then useful... or I suck at fighting with them, one of the two...)

Yes, yes it is.

Ahh, then perhaps I was just thinking too hard about it. Many thanks! :)

In that case, perhaps I can just experiment around & see what happens.

Still wouldn't mind a way to sort Parts by Race... would come in handy if one wanted to build Creations specifically for a certain Race... like the aforementioned potential Tywom Warship. :)

Also, if there's any sorta Tutorial Vids or such for Ship Creating i'd still welcome it... stuff like that can ease learning curve into learning how to work the Controls & such easier.

I would think that there are some videos around, although I've never searched for them.  I'm not much of a ship designer myself.  I tend to just grab the hulls and slap weapons and defenses on them.  I'm amazed at some of the creations people have come up with though.

Ahh, ok. Guess i'll have to search YouTube manually then. Was hoping to be saved the trouble, but no sweat. Was worth a try.

Many thanks for the aid. :)
