you can take a look at my thread... i started with absolutely no knowledge at all. but still, i tried some things browsed through the files used in the game. even looking at the files in the game already you can learn a lot. you stumble upon problems? just post them here. no doubt someone will help..

Experimentation my friend, also trial and error just looked through the files for the one that's for the mission and change the ship ID (I think) xD

example:
api.addToFleet(FleetSide.ENEMY, "enforcer_Balanced", FleetMemberType.SHIP, false);
change to:
api.addToFleet(FleetSide.ENEMY, "falcon_Attack", FleetMemberType.SHIP, false);

just an example

soo if i was doing the onslaught elite it would be like this

api.addToFleet(FleetSide.ENEMY, "onslaught_Elite", FleetMemberType.SHIP, false);

Sure that'd work, but how about you try and run the game, if it works you'll have an onslaught to fight against if not you'll have an error somewhere.

[sKarpunch]

yes, it works perfectly im well on my way to creating a mod

That seems easy enough but when it comes to more complicated stuff then my mind burns lmao xD
I am learning C++ at the moment though ^.^
