The underlying 3D models are contained in .dat files.
$PROGDIR/ AddOns/ ShipX/ ShipY/
To modify a .dat the file must first be converted to .obj. Conversion utilities are available here and require the installation of Python [1]
Run dat2obj or dat2objTex on the .dat.
The resulting file can be imported into any 3D program that supports .obj.
[The free, open source program Wings3D [2] is the de facto standard]
When finished export the model as an .obj and run obj2dat.
