Poly count is only 2844 tris at the moment, so i have plenty of room left.

I am going to put some things on the ends of the docking ports though!

Personaly, i feel they should be hexagons.

I added a bridge, under the docking tube.

I'm still going to add more detail along the top, add windows along the left side, and a few other things.

I actually agree.  The textures on the tubes themselves aren't very helpful, but the maps underneath indicate hexagons pretty clearly IIRC.

I like the bridge placement.  Different, in a good way.

Pretty awesome.

I'm with Bobboau though. I'm pretty sure they meant them circular, just were constrained by poly limits.

This should be a moot debate actually, as concept art exists for the Argo.  I think it's on freespace-2.com, which seems to be somewhat offline.  Did anyone archive that when we had the chance?

...denial is such an ugly trait, especially with people who have skill. -_-

In any case, you're building the thing, it looks good, no complaints from me. As is, I'm fine with calling it the original HTL Argo (or whatever detailed modifications you give it naturally).

It would be nicer if you incorporated the stuff that should've been there, but I guess we can't have it all.

Looks good so far, but might it be possible to model on the actual dock port, and make the hexagon segments chamfers more visible? (Mainly to make them look like they're supposed to be hexagonal.)

Something like this is what I mean: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/VA--Twisted_Infinities/ArgoDockPorts.jpg

Other than that, greeble away, and you should have a winner. :)
Oh, and be sure to UV map it and give it a new custom texture for full high-detail effect. ;)

If you ask me, you could have left it as it was on the first pic.. It's a troop transport and with 2800 polys it looks great allready..

I don't see why EVERY model out there needs to go way up in the polycount..especialyl when it's not needed.

Not to mention the fact that poly counts aren't the limiting factor in the engine any more.
