I'll skip over these early points, since they will probably be familiar to most people.

First, we load our ship: Text tut1.png This is the vessel known as the Jabberwocky, which I'll be reskinning to make more effective use of the texture-space by mirror planing the texture.

I'm going to skin the ship up as a new variant Jabberwocky, called the "Sparth", which will serve as a general interceptor/escort for those ships of that class I tend to refer to as "Beyonder" ships (The Morrigan, Rosault, Doiltach, Nemglan Class Carrier, Sceolan, et cetera).

I delete half it's vertices: Text tut2.png And insert a mirror plane: Text tut3.png
