This thing has to have.... a lot of polys. I'd bet on 3000 at least.

its 3900 poly :doh: but this version will only be seen at extreme close range, it will hopefully be about 3000 at the range seen in the picture ...but thats a guess might be lower hopefully

Well, that's a lot of polys - just be careful with the POF setup and all will be fine. ;)

I can't wait to see/feel some in-game action with B5 present.

The thing is going to be super LODed...so hopefully performance won't suffer...even at close range (because you won't be able to see the entire thing at that range).

looks good, but I still don't get why ships have all those extra parts. I mean, wouldn't the greatest ship design be a sphere?

Wow, how exciting would that be.  A bunch of ships flying around...all of them a SPHERE!  You could have 100 different ship types, all spheres....yay.

Saucers are slightly cooler.  Just wait till you see the Vree ships were going to do.

Sphere's can be cool. The Borg sphere for example.

Spheres are good in ship design because of their weapons coverage.

Which is easiers to hit, a sphere or a Thoth?
