Low poly models with LODs
Nightmare:
Would it be possible to remove the LODs from all the remaining Low-poly models, either by deleting them in the model or altering the "$Detail distance:" so that it is next to impossible that they'd be used in a mission?
Most of these ships (including the Demon) have as many LOD0 polies as many current INF ships have in LOD3, so there shouldn't be perfomance loss; and the LODs make them look even worse next to the HTLed ones.

Sure you can do that. Of course that's treating the symptoms and not the disease. If you're seeing LODs in a mission pop in and out, the detail distance is incorrect and/or the LOD is poorly made.
Galemp:
The Mjolnir comes to mind. Its LOD distances are adapted from the smaller sentry guns like the Alastor, not something the size of a cruiser with rotating objects.
IMO this should be addressed with a modular table in the MediaVPs. Now if only I could dig up my SVN access credentials...
mjn.mixael:
There's already a modular table that deals with detail distance. It just needs to be edited.
Nightmare:
I managed to find the issue that caused me to write the initial post, apparently I messed up some setting in my mod. :banghead:
Still, the Argo uses 29 tilemaps, most of them for LODs of a ship with 500 polies. Don't think it effects performance that much though...
