well is not that high...:) the wing is very curvy.. the all around policount is  lod 0 - 457 ;lod1 - 304; lod2 - 141 ; lod3 - 69
the guns and engine area consume quite much in this model..but is ok:)

Texturing in this model is ME:)) Capt'n is busy with the B5 station textures

Curvy = poly count.

Curvy (also)= extreme pain in the ass! Although it looks nice. :)

The StarFury has more polys with no performace issues...so im not worried :D

Infact I've already tested an un LODed version in the game and performance was acceptable with three wings of them flying about.  So we're ok!

It'll be from the guns and underside detail.  Personally, I'd only have used a triangle for the barrels. :nod:  Works fine for me.  But ne'ermind, looks neat.

well were the guns atach to the main hull, the cockpit in general, and the engines all have too many polys,
I wasn't going to say anything for fear of bringing up an old ugly paturn,
but becase some other people have said stuff I'll risk it
