I've also turned water rendering off in the options mode to clear a mouse cursor issue.
The game works, except that every 3-D model (all the ships) won't render, which is to say the game doesn't work

I loved this game as well back in the day. I feel like I didn't enough time with it before tech rendered it "non working." The graphics never looked good, and are the main stumbling block to enjoying the game, but it has no equal since 1999.
I got as far as you did. Modern NVIDIA card/drivers on Windows 7... the game will start and play, but without rendering the ships. I wish I had the expertise to fix it or make a similar game.
