Re: have a capship if u want it
Great now we just need the Arcadia from Captain Harlock, and the SDF-1 and we can have a throw down.

Only if the SDF-1 does not come equipped with any Japanese pop idols. Seriously, the less of that in our epic space battle the better.

 
Re: have a capship if u want it
The Cosmo Zero fighter is included in the package skygunner linked to (just pointing that out if it wasn't apparent from that screenshot in my earlier post; the package includes two models).

Now that I think about it, I wonder if the 26,000 polygon value of akt_m's package includes the polygon count of the fighter.

The royloo site I linked to has some Macross stuff towards the top of the page. And some other stuff I'm not sure I want to check out.

Re: have a capship if u want it
Well, I'm not sure.  the fighter is pretty low poly as far as i remember.  though i would love to see a match between the SDF-1, Yamato, Arcadia, and the Delphinus from Skies of Arcadia.
“Yeah, kid, what’s there to be worried about? I mean it’s only…” he trailed off as he considered the possibilities, “only a dark creepy tomb sure to be filled to the brim with painful death.” he gulped, before adding, his voice very much subdued. “I wouldn’t go in there.”

 
Re: have a capship if u want it
Yeah it certainly doesn't look like it would contribute much to the overall polycount.

akt_m's Yamato is the nicer looking one but, according to the wiki, it has about 2,000 more polys (assuming that that figure of 26,000 polys applies just to the ship itself) than what a juggernaut-type ship would be expected to have (24k polys, but they can have more). royloo's one is closer to a cruiser/freighter in terms of polys, according to the guide in the wiki.

The limit on the number of rotating subsystems is a bit of a downer; I take it that it means we can't have all those turrets rotating? I thought turrets were a separate class to subsystems (*waves noob flag*). I have visions of this thing trying to shoot down scores of planes attacking from multiple directions with its AAA batteries. Changing some of them to static single-part turrets would avoid hitting the limit, right? Except that would mean we'd lose the coolness factor of rotating turrets somewhat (I'm not really keen on single-part turrets but anyway I don't want to whine too much about it, they're probably a necessary compromise in this engine).

I haven’t posted for a very long time but I still check out HLP from time to time. I work in Maya and looked at akt_m’s model, it has a lot of intersecting meshes and would take a lot of work to cleanup.

General,

Until last November I’ve been working in the video game industry. I’ve got time on my hands while I’m looking for a new job so I install FS2, FSO, and PCS2 and started doing some modding.

Awesome. Stick around, you've missed a lot of great stuff.
