I just removed the offending polys without making it from scratch!
I simply flipped all normals. which gave me easy acess to the plys in question, delted them and flipped back.

It has 4 fighterbays...

Thining of adding more detail...or to do it from scratch...don't really know...

If I made each arm a subobject, then I couldn't put turets on it...

I was thinking of maby putting a large fly-trough docking bay in it's centre. (something like  that big hole on the Arcadia)...Or would that look too lame?

[Knight Templar]

Yes, Yes it would.

'Wish you guys would put more suns into your levels when posting images. They're all so dark.

Nice work though.

[aldo_14]

s'alright.  Ends of the arms need smoothed- they're just a flat. straight edge from the overhead view, which is a bit incongrous for a Vasudan ship (virtually not large flat edges)

Take alooky at the main cannon and other armament.




EDIT: Just made a whole new hull...has approx 2100 polys. More smoothed and detailed. Am currently texturing it... but it seems it doesn't want to be textured. When I put a texture on some faces, as soon as I move the view angle, it reverts back to the previous texture...strange..

Add more suns. I see very little in those pics.

Hey TrashMan, your main turret kinda looks like the front end of a Triton... probably the same size too.  Weird eh?

Later!

HAHAHAHA! Low polycount?

The hull itself is 1460. The two big ass plasma cannons are 242 polys each.

Overall it has 32 small turrets, 8 beam turets and the two big ones..
Total polycount so far 2190

Just one of my fighters has more polys than that. You can REALLY up that count, it's a huge station, 2190 is really low, especially in this day and age of TnL

Go go gadget gamma!

Yeah, bring on the polies. My new Radeon 9200 and Athlon XP 3000+ can handle it, especially now after I reformatted my hard drive.

I love my new hardware, even if it probably did contribute to Windows going bonkers and forcing me to reformat.
