There was a topic a while back about converting EVE ships for use in Orbiter, but unfortunately the person who started it was unable to get the ships converted properly. I decided to give this a shot myself on Friday (which poured over into Saturday). After a truckload of pain, trial and error, and A LOT of self-teaching, I've finally come up with some good results on the Megathron ship.
I ended up doing the lights on the ship as a second texture with transparency so that I could add luminosity and have them be visible in the dark. Also, the painting on the texture had to be colored manually, so the dark green paint bits will not exactly match with what you see in the actual EVE model.
And no, before anyone asks, I don't plan on releasing any EVE content without their explicit permission.

EDIT: Good News!
I've received permission from CCP to go ahead and release any and all conversions of their content so long as they are given proper credit for it.
