I don't know (/think) if we'd accept it in the core game... ie: distributed with Pioneer, mostly because we're trying to be our own game :)

BUT! Don't be disheartened we support mods which means you can add any ship you like to the game and you can share the mods in a dedicated sub-forum we have over on SpaceSimCentral (http://spacesimcentral.com/ssc/forum/83-pioneer-mods/) or right here!

We're also willing to help answer questions about getting the ship ready and putting the mod together.

You can make a mod from them. There was an obj dumper in their mesher, and Pioneer can read objs. You need to add thruster and other tags though.
You can find info about mod creation on the wiki, or you can check an existing ship mod to see how to set up stuff.

Canonically speaking, I'd avoid adding them to the stock Pioneer. We are not in need of reusing content from another game, even if ship creation is a bit decelerated at the moment. I have quite much on my plate right now for example (uni project, etc), but I certainly roll stuff in my head for later modeling.

Can you post a zip of the model up? Happy to take a look at it for you to see what's missing.

Usually if we're sharing stuff, we just upload it to a dropbox or some other online storage place.
