Hi! First post!
Relatively new to modding... have gotten the hang of tables and PCS but I'm really interested in making a couple of tweaks to things not covered by the tables, mostly just how damage works.
Was wondering - are there any tutorials out there for this sort of thing? Do I need any special tools?
Am looking forward to jumping into the FREDding universe at any rate... although I really have to get FSOpen to work first...

Probably for changing damage styles etc, you'd do best to look at scripting, even though it isn't officially part of FSOpen yet.
For more info on the Source Code project, you'd probably be better off looking at Hard Light Productions, which is where most of the FS2 Modders and Coders hand out.

Check out the source code project Forum and there's a sub Forum called 'Scripting' which may be useful

Hmmm apparently, there is some new damage stuff coming in with the next built of FSOpen anyway, but I really don't know the details
Hopefully Kara will see this thread and may be able to provide some enlightenment

I'm afraid FreeSpace's modder-friendly attitude has sent me a little nuts... "OMG! I can make the space sim I've always wanted to see!" ...but there's no harm in asking, I guess (though I feel a little silly).

Yes, there's a lot more flexibility there, and the tables that do exist have been expanded massively to allow for things like triggered animations on models, gatling guns, weapon models, new AI and Weapon types etc etc. The list is always being updated
