Is it difficut making the shadow ships? And when the shadows are entering hyperspace will you make a jumppoint or will you just make them phase in and out like on the show?

If you checkmark the "no animation" on a ships depature or arrival, there will be no jump animation played. The ship will disappear. Its not phasing, but its decently close.

Shadow ships aren't much harder than others and pose their own challenges. Texturing is very easy however since there is only one repeating map.

for the "phasing" you could do the no animation thing and use the ship invisible command untill it is all the way in and then use the ship visible command to add to the phaseing effect.

Invisible and visible only apply to your radar. They have no visual effect.
