Material Editior crashes on opening .shp files
Does anyone know how I can open the .shp files with the material editor? everytime I try to open a .shp file, it just crashes. I read somewhere about it not being able to open compressed .shp files but that topic was never answered.

Extract the backupships.zip (spg2/models) archive ; destination must be inside the game folder.

Is it safe to overwrite the old .shp files with the new ones?

It is possible but it is wiser to make another folder.

so is all the information stored in the .shp folder only? so if I was to mod the .shp then put it in a mod folder I would only need to put the .shp without all the other many files taht each ship seems to have?

The .shp contains all the ship stats, and you can just mod that.
The other files are related to the ship model.

after playing around with a ship, I have found after I save then reload it, it seems to only save the new turrets/turret locations and the weapon power but everything under the SHIP DATA like speed, hull, cargo, crew and cloak seem to revert back to the original settings, any idea why?

As I said .shp change only the stats.
By adding turrets, you change the model.
