You can not add any old ship to the game. You have to talk it through with VSTEP.

Leading on from what Firestar said...welcome to the forum  :)

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask here. Firestar is correct, at the moment it is impossible to add your own 3-d models to the game, but VSTEP are always interested in decent user made models.

As Firestar and Nathan said it's very hard to get a model of yours exepted. But if you have the right software to model in and you follow the guidelines you might have an chance. Oh and could we please see some of your work?

As FireStar, Nathan and Minime said lol. It is bassically imposible to add a ship to the game your self. Although Vstep accepts ships that follow the guidlines And is extremely appealing to them.

Hello Márcio, and welcome to the forum!!

I think I needn't explain it further, as it's allready been repeated a few times..  ;D

But in addition, below I have attached the guidelines for creating an addon vessel for the game.

It also explains how to contact VSTEP and such. It might prove helpful to you.
