game mods/ship skins

I was on the other day, and realized how MUCH of a loser I really am.

Just flying around, i found myself wanting to play VO and TieFighter at the same time. Then I came to my epiphany. ship skins for VO. (after a grueling search, i found this thread and it was the closest match)

I realized that this is not COMPLETELY possible, but if some were given access to the ship skins to "mess with" i would like to see what they had come up with.

Now, each of these ship skins would be contained locally, so no one could see you flying your hornet/x-wing, but every hornet you saw ingame, would look like an x-wing to you.

I have based the following ships on weapon config / ship contour in a starwars state of mind. (but hell, i could probably see some other ship configs matching out there in other movies or shows...)

hornet = x-wing
maud = tie fighter
hog = a-wing (or snow speeder just for kicks)
wraith = that's the snow speeder!!! lol
valk = naboo starfighter
prom = tie bomber
centurion = speeder bike, cause this ship is almost as useless.
centaur = y-wing
vult = lambda-class shuttle
bus = t-wing, or a floating disposal bin
moth = the only thing that comes to mind is the battle droid carrier
atlas = because it looks nothing like it, slave-1
raptor = that droid fighter, what's it called.. a tri-fighter or something?
rag = the one and only, millenium falcon

teradon = star destroyer
light frig = corellian corvette
heavy assault = three words... immobilizer class heavy cruiser!
the connie = nebulon Kuati Escort Frigate.

now where do i find the skin files?

You can't replace the meshes. Nor the textures. Nor anything else. Thank goodness.
