CaptainGalaxy,
We realize that you're enthusiastic about getting BC up and running but you need to slow down and have some patience. First, you need the BC 1.1 patch and second, you need Foundation before anything will work.
There are several programs that will install foundation for you but the latest software is USS Sovereigns Bridge Commander Ship Menu Creator or BCSMC 5.6. Basically, it's an all in one ship definition, sound def, tgl description editor all in one.
Additionally, some mods may not work even after installing foundation. As such, I have found that the best mods are KM .91 and KM 1.0. They have less bugs and are more compatible with mods as I'm sure most board members here will agree.
Hope this helps.
