You can make it move and look like a ship, but they can't jump.

4.is there a way to make a ship constantly have the damage effects.

Yes, give it a passive ability that applies the damage effects you desire.

im making some ships that are going to be damaged and capture and want them to be on fire and have sparks even when at max health so they look broken

Oh I misread that. Its still possible, but in this case you will need to find the damage particle effects or perhaps make your own if they don't work and give it to a passive ability that otherwise does nothing. Unfortunately I don't know much about particles or effects, so I would find a particle forge guide somewhere.

As for whatever you wanted with the starbases, I doubt whatever you wanted to do could not be accomplished by a frigate or a capitalship.

I believe it might be possible to do mesh changes on a ship, though I really have not tried.

You can give a ship several meshes based on research if that is a good enough alternative to upgrades.

im going to do it so that as the capital ship gets upgrades such as the incendiary it will gain its aotucannons and when it gets the ability that also adds damage over time to beams it will gain beams :)
