Alright, here it is. Thanks to everyone who provided useful feedback and help. I would especially like to thank Zacam, Hades, MjnMixael, Galemp, Vasudan Admiral, Esarai, and the rest of the FSU team.

Some brief instruction: Download whatever texture size you want, but keep in mind that your computer may be able to handle more than you think. The SathMod folder points to the 3.6.12 MVPs, so just select it as your mod.

Please change the flak, but otherwise I quite like it, though I think some may take umbrage at the "bug" like aesthetic. Personally, it was a giant space-going tick from the start, so emphasising that gets no criticism from me.

[Asteroth]

Awesome.

[Kolgena]

Yes, the flak turrets are especially Aperture Science.

Overall, it's beastly though. I also like how the pipe neck got changed.

That's some serious kick ass nightmare fuel you've built there.

[esarai]

This is going to make the FS2 campaign so much more fun.

Prepare for epic Triple-D.

Boom. THAT is the perfect description of the flak. I could not put my finger on it. I have an issue with thinking of a cool things that have no theme to them what so ever, and still implimenting them where they do not belong.

Also, between this and the Colly, High Noon will likely kill your computer and get your girl friend pregnant.

[Flipside]

When you are dead I will be still alive.....

Seriously though, that looks really, really nice to me

[Kolgena]

I just noticed the placement of the fighter bay. It's a giant space flea that craps fighters.

[esarai]

Just keep the texture count under extreme lock and key, secured behind 5 layers of 5000 MT-rated blast doors.

[T-LoW]

I'm curious what the new plating texture will look like. Will it be an upgraded version of the zigzag plates the retail Sath has or will it have an entirely different look?

I can't believe that doesn't comment these incredible improvements of their original game models (Cain, Lilith, Hatshepsut and all the other shining gems).

[Commander Zane]

I think the nose would bear a more aesthetic liking if the top didn't have that gap still, but everything else is great.

[peterv]

... High Noon will likely kill your computer and get your girl friend pregnant.

In which case I'll have to discuss something with High Noon? HTF am i suppose do do that? 

Super model BTW.

[Rga_Noris]

Yeah, I'm curious to know what the texturing will look like too. I basically turned te model over to c914 and said go crazy. He said he would have something to show by Sunday, but I have not heard from him in over a week and he has not returned any PM's. That's kind of his style though. Vanish for a week or so, only to return with a jar of awesome sauce.

[Shivan Hunter]

OMG

Now I know how 100 of these were able to destroy Capella. CAPELLA is a GPU! And they melted it with all their uber awesome hi-poly awesomeness! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!11onetwothree

[MatthTheGeek]

Well, a single Karuna would melt it much faster than 80 untextured Saths, however high-poly they may be.

[Commander Zane]

Which are being further optimized.

[Satellight]

I find this model so detailled that it almost hurt my eyes 

In others words : good work 

[Rga_Noris]

The detail0 of the Colly with all of its turrets is 99299 polies. The Sath is going to be rather close to this. What you see above comes in at about 75K without any turrets, which is damn close to what the Colly is sans turrets.

The texturing will consist of 3 2048 textures, a small debris texture, and a possibly a special LOD textures, depending on how I do tackle that one. So yeah, it should not actually be too horrible to your comps.
