Thanks Annatar I'll try that when I get home from work. I have had no luck using the dev.exe I fire it up and it just throws a bazllion errors and closes. I did solve my problem and for those who are stuck with anything similiar I did not notice the entity.manifest file contains a number count as well. I upped the count by 1 and BOOM it worked. This was a simple oversight on my part so I was glad to find it by accident. Just thought I'd whisper to the winds that I

No such luck, it seems if I add anything NEW to either file, instant mini dump. If I duplicate a line, say the cobalt firagte in the playertech.entity it jsut gives me a new button to build a cobalt frigate from. The instant I use any other ship file, boom crash. I can even use a custom ship named as the cobalt entity file and it will work. Entity.manifest touching anything in there seems to be an isnta dump. This is very frustrating.
I built a a custom ship, actually managed to model it, and texture it, and convert it to XSI and all the weapon points and everything! Even got it into the game flew it around blew some stuff up. Who would have thought adding it to the frigate factory would be my stumping point. I've edited to the the PlayerTech.entity file added: the following frigateInfo Page:0
Is it just me or does the link not goto a file to download?
