Okay coders. Any suggestions on responsible polly limits for missile turrets? Keep in mind I'm asking about large turrets, so they will eat them at the expense of other weapons. Figure about two or three per destroyer.

targetting HTL, I'd say 300-500 for very large turrets (wich there would be fewer than... say, 5 of on a ship, and only one texture)

bob, is there a difference between one tiled texture and a UVmap?

nope, so long as only one texture is used, the current system won't care (though, in the future we may start useing index buffers wich would mean that haveing as many verts with the same UVs and normals as posable would yeild somewhat faster rendering)

btw, as i said in the model thread, if you UV map that turret, i would love to try some texturing on it.

You want the one there? I was going to get rid of the missile indents and see if I can rid a few more polys. I'll post it within the night.
