I hope this is in the right place....
I have Starfleet Command Empires At War. I have both Cd's, and have used only the first disc. On to my question...
I go to the Skirmish screen, and there's only "Hostile Skirmish"
I have read that you can customize the mission, the spacial bodies etc.. and yet I can't seem to be able to. Is this the way it's supposed to be? I also don't play missions very much as I don't do well at them. Thanks for your time.

Well, about the missions, they tend to be easy as long as you stay around the core world of whatever empire you've chosen. And you'll usually have the backup of larger ships 75% of the time (The first time I started a patrol mission I got the Enterprise NCC-1701-A!). The same is true for borders shared with allied powers, if there are any ships in that sector they'll assist you most of the time as well. Just hang around the core sector until you've found your footing, it's good practice for what comes later in the campaign.
As for customizing skirmish levels, you can create your own with an app called FMSE[/b] (Fleet Mission Script Editor), it should be available for download from Dynaverse's download section. It's really easy to use, and great if you just want to make different scenarios/settings for a skirmish. But it can't do fine tuning, create missions and do the small details like crew conversations and stuff right. You'll have to learn to script to do that. For that I reccomend a program called "Bloodshed C++" (Just google it), it's a C++ code editing application with all the bells and whistles and can do the small stuff easily.
Hope that helps.

You can play the configurable Coop ace For EAW (a multiplayer script) by yourself... just start the game after configuring it, even though no one has joined:

There are also the following two singleplayer scripts:

Thank you, and sorry for the delay in responding.

Does the Fleet Mission Script Editor work for OP or just SFC2 EAW?
-
I do believe the FMSE is EAW only...
as for you most original question, if you install the latest patch on top of you EAW, you should get some additional (official) skirmishs. Surprise Reversed, Turkey Shoot etc.

See that's what I thought from my last living brain cell from those days long ago, but the posted website shows the title as "Fleet Mission Script Editor 1.0.02 for SFC1 and 2/OP "

Mislabled perhaps? (hopeful it's not)
