Thanks for your reply.
I can extract the MFM_Skin_Pack.7z to its own folder with all files intact, but I can not extract the MFM_v3_Skin_Packs.7z to any folders. I tried a completely new download from the Gamefront web site with was unable to extract it anywhere successfully. I can visually see the skin files in their various ship type folders viewed in the Winrar program but can't use any of them
.
Is there any other download location or maybe a WinZip format that you can direct me to that I can try? Then I can install them into JSCME and apply them to the game, as you suggested.
