Thanks for all the feedback guys,

I meshsmoothed the edges a bit and got it around 2551 pollies, It does look alot smoother, while still keeping the same shape.

I wanted to add some more model detail, but I just couldnt bring myself to do it. One thing I've allways enjoyed about freespace was its simplistic designs. I didnt really want to go about adding fins or panels that have no reason to be there.

I'm having some trouble getting the cockpit transparent, I've searched the forum but I couldnt come up with some straightforward information. Any input on how to go about it in Max 7?.

Since its allmost finished, is there another ship you guys would like to see spruced up a bit?, I was thinking mabye the Erinyes, Loki, Dragon or the Seraphim.

It looks good in there, but the smoothing _needs_ to be worked on. applying some smoothgroups would let the polies actually do their jobs and eliminate most of those angles. That'd be especially useful on the glass...

If you want to add more detail and still stick it to cannon, I sugest beveleing the armor plates of the texture, as well as smoothing the model a bit... that way it will be the same, but only much better...

About the polycounts, yeah sure its htl, but I don't think we should exagerate. Methinks that 2100 polys is more than enough for a fighter, and I wouldn't consider adding any more... my 2 cents
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

Your Moloch was bloody ace IIRC.  Especially when it had that sort of 'nibbler' setup at the front.

I can't really comment on polycounts.  I still have a (player flyable) transport with about 7000(+) polys sitting around waiting to be finished :drevil:

I think most people would be happier if it worked with stock textures (or those from Lightspeed's pack).
