To whoever knows how to modify ships and create new ones

[SwaggeringGit]

Is there anyone out there who knows how to work with that infernally-difficult <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> program called Maya? IF by any chance you DO know how, and are reading this, would you mind answering a few questions for me? Am I using the right program?
How do I actually go about changing a particular ship design? Do I have to open it with Maya? If I wanted to make a completely new one, what are some of the steps I'd need to take? Lastly, How do I transfer it to the game's program files?

I have maya 7.0 but its a trial one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> oops maube thats the reason why I'm getting fed up with that darn program. Thats a nice sloop there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> Well, thanks anyway. Oh, and I'm sure one of the more advanced people will come along and help, but I guess their time must be taken up with other, more advanced stuff.

For all I know, the only person to successfully add a ship made in Maya is Inzane, who made the Surprise. We haven't heard from Inzane for some time though. You can use some plug-in for exporting from Maya to PotC's .GM format, but this plug-in only works with Maya 4, I believe.
