I don't know much about it, but from what I can surmise, you can take exisiting 3d hulls and customize them by adding and removing funnels, superstructures, etc through these EQP files. Would it then be possible to take the Cimarron hull, fore example, and tweak the EQP files to make two or three additional types of tanker?
You can't add or remove funnels,superstructure .. etc. The eqp file is used to change what weapons a ship/plane/sub has based on the time of year, or just what they had in general. The weapons aren't part of the 3dmodel of a ship, they attach to points on the model. The only way to change the model is with 3D studio max, and i'm not the one to ask about that
