In the last few hours I've managed to make two fighters, one stealthy and one interceptor. Need textures, though, and I REALLY suck at texturing    

They're not very detailed, either.

Stealth, top isometric, 77 polys (   )
Stealth, bottom isometric

Interceptor/Recon, 197 polys

Sorry for the image quality on the interceptor pic, seems 3D Exploration doesn't like red    

Pic: fixored. Raytrace works so much better

The stealth one looks like some kind of paper plane.  

Excellent work, though. Good luck with the textures...

Talk about low poly counts. Well, look on the bright side... at least they won't take up much memory.  

[Jabu]

Okay, any suggestions on how I could make them more detailed? I really can't think of anything  

[Joey_21]

If there was a way that you could rounden the edges, that could help.

I think that by putting a big gaping hole in the wings, it would be cooler.

I was actually going to do that, but I figured it would be possible via textures.

But what the heck, I have loads of spare polys  

Oh, right. I made another fighter/bomber, haven't decided which (leaning towards heavy fighter), but it WILL have a rear turret

Oh?

Yay!

Double Yay!

Hmm... I've run into some unexpected difficulties... it seems I had made such a mess of the model (about 200 unneccessary edges  ) that I had to model the whole bloody thing again. Or most of it, the bottom bit stayed as it was  

[Jabu]

Needs some work  

Poly count: 84. I think I'll change it's designation from 'stealth' to 'thing that you throw at enemy in great numbers' (aka Anubis)  

Oh yeah, you're free to tell me if it sucks. I don't want to release a crappy fighter

I really think you should put some more detail work into it. I personally don't think its really worth the effort of texturing and converting a model that you haven't really put much time into. Even for a simple shape I like to shoot for at least 200 or 300 polys to make it shaped realistcally. With only 70 polys it looks like a refugee from Wing Commander 1 =P

[Jabu]

Guess that means I have to get back to the ol' drawing board  

I think I'll add more curves to that thing. It's annoyingly blocky...

Drone wings. Lotsa drone wings!

Looks like a Pegasus. Make it uglier, that's always good for spaceships (like the Ares- looks like a Thanksgiving turkey the day after, but cool as hell.)
