LOL, seeing this thread brings back some memories of my first conversion.  The debris shouldn't be in a seperate group. Dump 'em in to the main grouping as you have for each LOD. The rest doesn't look too bad but I haven't done a cob conversion for ages. You may need to rename the lights aswell.

Be warned that the way PCS exports a pof is not the way that the hierarchy has to be for it to convert it back in again.

In other words studing the :v: models won't help you much at all. You need to look at the modding tutorials :)

I made a quick note in the Wiki PCS entry on this:
http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php?pagename=PCS
Quote
If it gives a "Too many polygons in same local area!" (or something similar) error, it can mean one (or both) of two things. Either there is a duplicate of one of the objects in the SCN in the EXACT same position as another of the EXACT same shape, or your object is too small. To fix the first problem, find the duplicate object and delete or move it. To fix the second, scale the whole ship up in TS to the size you want it to appear as in FS. Then, before converting, set PCS's scaleing to 1 rather than 20 and convert. That should fix it.
The fix is basically saying to PCS that 1 TS metre should equal 1 FS metre during conversion if you get this particular error.
Hope that helps. :)
