First, you open the program, select the dificulty (i would advise begineer) then select eith Galaxy, Defiant, Akira, or B'rel class (NOTE: if you choose any others you will NOT be able to export them into Dominion Wars!) Do the normal stuff you would do (If your worried about Credits, dont worry, what you can do is go to the fleet screen, click export ship, proceed, then click back however many times you need until youre back in the sign-in menu, create a new admiral, go to fleet screen, click import ship, go to the Warp 2 dir, go to warp 2 folder, ship something, and youll see NCC?????, click that, and you have 42500 credits to continue constructing your ship! you can do this as many times as it takes you to finish you're ship, this is not a "cheat", its just something clever to do if you know how.) Once you're all finished, and the ship says under it "Mission-Ready", click export ship, and in the middle you should see "export to Dominion Wars" click that and then you can exit, go into Dominion Wars, go into skirmish (NOTE: you must click the "Allow StarShip Creator Ships" before youll see any of youre created ships), go to the class and click the right arrow, and at the end, if you did everything right, you should see the model of your ship and by it "Warp II" with a star (NOTE: you can only select each StarShip Creator Ship once, then you'll have to do other ships, and an aditional note: the captin you selected for the ship in the Warp II creator, you will now see in the captians screen, EX: I named my ship Enterprise and set the captian as John Luke Picard, I go to configure my ships, select mineand to to the captians screen, I can now select Picard, John Luke as my captian for my ship.)
