Meh, do not try and stop us. We -want- to make a new mesh... Also, there's nothing I hate more than remapping someone else's mesh that should have gotten a decent map in the first place. (I'm not talking about tiled, here.. there are blatant flat black spots on the current Moloch...). I would rather make a new mesh than try and figure out someone elses.
And besides, the you could make the same argument about the Ravana.. and yet here you are offering a new Ravana mesh!
I don't try anything. I just gave my opinion which, by the tone I read above, is not welcome. I'll remember to spare my keyboard in the future...
The Ravana and Moloch aren't comparable, because as they stand, the Moloch is about 6500 polys, for a 730m ship (good for a Corvette). The Ravana is 7000 polys for a 2400m ship.
Which means the Ravana has only +500 polys when it is triple the lenght of the Moloch (not to mention surface area, which is about 4x or 5x the Moloch).
Fly close to a Moloch and your eye will be entertained by variations in shape. If you fly close to the Ravana all you see is huge planes.
Sure, the current Moloch mesh may need some detailing here and there, but nothing major: Even at its current poly count, it feels like something which was built, and thus makes sense visually. The same can't be said for the Ravana.
And I didn't offer a new Ravana mesh. I offered a highly unfinished Ravana mesh.
