have this great idea for a mission, and wanted to use either the Vesta or Chimera ship in it, but when I look thru the ship costumes and assets, can't find it, is there some sort of trick to use them or the devs just didn't add them the the foundry yet?
There is a trick. If you have a Vesta or a Chimera, get in game and set them as your ready starship, then go into the ship customization, there is a button at the bottom labeled "save."
Now, load up the the Foundry and go to the costume creator. Create a space costume. Then look just below the main that shows the ship, you should see two buttons, mouse over them and one will say import and the other will say export. Click import.
Select the correct file name, it should have the name of the character you exported it from and the date and time.

If you don't have a Chimera, you can use mine.
