Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I found out the answer. So, unless I'm mistaken, Milkshape will allow you to create meshes.

I believe it does. I recall NathanKell stating he created the Duelist corvette with Milkshape.

I've never used it, but I've run across forums of people who do. Tutorials too. Probably Googling it would find 'em.

I wonder if I should stop subscribing to the topic? I am now getting four e-mail's every time someone posts a reply.

What happens when you try put a model with more than 800 polygons into EOC?

Does Milkshape actually allow you to create 3D models, or what is it for?

It does allow creation of 3d models, but (as with any EoC models) it should only be used to do simple stuff. Lightwave 5.6 is the only program that can save to lightwave 5.6 format without the occational hitch. I used milkshape to resize a collision hull once, so it definitely works. Make sure to export using 'lightwave 5.6' not 'lightwave'.

The universe will implode and we'll all be sucked into a time vortex[:0]!

No, just kidding. 800 polys isn't the actual limit, but once you get too far up there you start to get problems like display corruption and flickering. I ported a Klingon Academy model to EoC with a section that had over 1300 polys and it wouldn't display for crap. But my Millennium Falcon model had a section (the round part of the hull) with over 1100 polys which displayed with no problems, but I reduced it to 816 polys just for the sake of performance. So, unless you need to show a rediculously complex piece of geometry keep it under 800.
