I'm sure this has been asked before but I cant find anything on it. I'm looking for a guide on making (or download if someoens already done it) a custom campaign with no forced missions, just the oppurtunity to fly around and gain prestige, but still have empires go to war, expand their borders and develop economics and such.. Basically I'm looking to be able to fly for the race of my choice, build up a fleet and wipe the other races off the map one by one.
I have SFC2 EAW and do not have OP, and have no means of getting it, I cant find it anywhere legal or otherwise

. I am a complete scripting newbie but can follow a good guide. TIA for any leads.
