Remember this?
 
It's recieved a slight upgrade  
 
It's no longer the GTSc Hephaestus, it's the GTSD Hephaestus. 34 Turrets and 3300m long, it's no longer a "starbug".
Have some more renders (or rather, me playing w/ the editing options in Irfanview):

1800 Polys, 2290 verts. The vert count is a bit high, but the polys is less than the big C.

Are you working for Mon Calamaris? Reminds me of their ships. Nice design. And I wouldn't exactly call that a slight upgrade.

Now make it fight.

Note: There is more than one Hephaestus! My campaign also features a ship designated the ECC Hephaestus (denebsystem0.tripod.com/ecc_hephaestus.jpg).

Messed up on that turret count. 4 on each torus, 8 toruses, so there's only 32 turrets. And those ships flying escort? There my Raptor-class escort cruiser, >400 m long.

Looks cool.  If that's only 1800 polys, then I'm thouroughly impressed

As you now can see, TS1 0wns you all! It's entirely made in TS1, and the reason it looks so smooth is I clicked the "smooth" option in texturing, which carries over into FS2. Additionally, the main hull is only 1224 polys. The remaining 576 polys come from the turrets, which are 18 polys each.

Nope, unfortunately, as PCS won't keep those datas.

Who said anything about PCS? I use POF2COB. PCS always messes up my models, so I don't use it.

Nice!

So the smoothing shading option in TS works in FS2?  Cool, I'll have to try that out.
I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

I'm working on something new... shhhhh, it's a seceret.

Well, you know, I just love those peoples who posts and don't read the whole thread before  
No it doesn't, not because of FS2, but because of PCS ( but go talk about that to kazan, he will throw you to hell invoquing lame excuses   )

Oh no, I read the thread - I was just hoping there was some small glimmer of hope, because that ship looks sweet!
