Well, no. Talking to HCl probably would help, but I don't think he bothers teaching people about the code - especially since he doesn't edit WC stuff any more, just StarLancer.
What you have to do, is take a look at his site, and the other editing sites out there (the most important ones are listed in the Fan Projects section). You'll find various editing tools there - they usually come with some documentation.
Oh, KW, as for missile turrets. That might be an idea, especially for such beasts as the BL carrier. But don't use too many - laser turrets are just as imporant, and we do only have six turrets altogether.
But as for using them in UE... well, right now we're just focussed on the series missions, which really only use the Dauntless, Fralthi, and Ralari (and a few converted fighters, such as the Avenger, Hermes Shuttle, Confed Drone, et cetera). Until we can get those done, there's just no point thinking about sim missions, which would include the other stuff.
