If you ask me, you could have left it as it was on the first pic.. It's a troop transport and with 2800 polys it looks great allready..

I don't see why EVERY model out there needs to go way up in the polycount..especialyl when it's not needed.
I think I've told you this before at some point, but it's texture counts that's going to lower framerates nowadays. :p

When he gives this a single large map, then even if it's polycount was 8000 or more, it would still run faster than most tiled ships, though it will take up a bit more memory with that single texture, but then again textures can be easily lowered in res if need-be.

If he spends polys wisely, - which he so far has done very well - he can add as much detail as he likes within reason.

Very good model :D

But before continue all we most think about of what are those tree tubes on the left, I have no idea of what volition designers thinked when they do it... but for me apear to be a try of 3 adiccionals docking points, to dock small freigters, (well... the terrans dont have good small freigters capable of docking there, but... have a small transport, the Elysium transport could dock there, the great war vasudan freigters too (I dint remember the name), the Terran/Vasudan Support ship the Hygeia also could be dock, and even could dock 3 Fighters/Bombers as a protection...), Ok you cant do anything for this in the Model desing to activate those docking points, but you can give then the aspect, give them a small looking brige over there... In the future one never know when someone can discover the secret to activate tho dockings :P

I very sorry about my english :( all English that I know I learned then Playing Freespace 1 and 2 in 1999/2002 :PPP

It actually doesn't have the additional dockpoints in the original POF file.  Someone had to add them.  I think the new version is in the media VP.

Look at my pictures.

It's actually 7.  Don't forget the docking point on the bottom.  It doesn't need as much physical detail, but it is there.
who needs a signature? ;)
