Someone needs to make egg-like ships for a dinosaur race.

The Terran ships ARE ugly... I was referring to more scifi looking ships, like Jraenar, Xiati, Phong etc.

The alien ships do look cooler. I kinda wish the pop files were seperate from the ship files so you could mix one race with another set of ship files.

Why not just copy your favorite race image into your favorite shipset? Just rename it and you will be good to go.

The race pictures are only three files (four if you're changing the flag, too). One can change these on your own computer without affecting what others see in PBW.

I've done this myself with the Sharlon Kingdom (MF_Sharlon) when I use them to play my Mi-Go.

I've got ideas for a shipset, but no skills. What programs are used to make them? Are any free? I don't want to spend a fortune building one.

Also, I remember seeing a tutorial about shipset building. Is it on the SEIV gold disc or am I hallucinating?

MSpaint would be your minimum.

Most people will use 3D modellers and render their ships from there.
Its all bitmaps, so the only trick to making a shipset it to have an idea and some artistic vision.

The shipsets that I find myself using the most are the EDF, Pandoran (old and new), and the organic race that came with Devnull (can't remember name). I have nearlly 200 shipsets, most of which are races I would never play as but enjoy playing against for the variety.

As for making shipsets, Doga is a pretty good program to start with. You can download it for free off of their website.
