It was a try at a new way to make backgrounds, it was nice but plain, so I decided to put ships over it. And I put ships, and I added ships, and I selcted all the ships and copied them again and again, and boum, 3 000 000 polys, about...

hem no. the plasma bolt from the kraken has an effective radius of about 1.5/2 km... the gaia on it's own, in the middle of the fleet, is already 3km long

I can´t believe that nobody asked this question before: how long did it take your comp to render this?

I want to make a render with a buttload of ships too  

I wonder ow my Duron 600, 128mb ram system will do...  

[Jabu]

My crappy computer always crashes at about halfway in a 1 megapolygon render. So, none of those from me for now

Well, not really. I mean, you've seen how nicely the Flux engine handles stuff, and it's definitely better fitted than FS2 for a fleet scene.
