Help with the Ship Editor

[Giga]

Hey, all.

I'm playing through Tyrian 2000, trying to acquire all the weapons and special weapons for use in the ship editor...but there are times when the game doesn't let me do so.

I was unable to bring the Widget Beam, Mega Dual Laser, and SDF Main Cannon into the ship editor.

Can anyone tell me why, or the proper way to bring a weapon to the ship editor? Thank you. ^_^

There's always TyrHack, which is very fun, but has messed up detection, and gets odd characters in many ship parts. I never liked the editor much.

I think you have to finish an episode while you own that weapon, then it becomes available... but I might be wrong.

I've always wondered what the fully upgraded atomic rail gun looked like. Is there anyway to use the ship editor to get it?

It looks positively destructive and dangerous, all the more reason to use it :evil:
Sadly, I have no idea on how to get it.
