I was looking for the WArlock destroyer and finally found it. However, I saw the polygon count was about 36248.

So, is this acceptable by FreeSpace 2 standards?

You will be so lucky, I think FS's max is around 10K polygons (or there abouts)...

[NeoHunter]

**** . Oh well, then I guess I'll just use it for renders only then.

AND WAIT FOR THE BABYLON PROJECT TO RELEASE IT FOR DEMO PLAY!!!

As a note of interest, the largest ship in FS2, the Colossus, doesn't even make 2k polys (although it's pretty close)

I'm not surprised. Considering how it is designed. Not very complicated.

Doesn't have to be complicated to be good.

You think the Colossus is good??? It looks a water pistol, it gets its ***  kicked really fast....... You gotta wait for NeoHunter's Juggernaut Design...... No ship can hide in a blind spot... it doesn't hold of a Sath though, but it stands a much more threat to it.... AND it looks so damn cool!!!!

My best bigship is the least detailed - only 1200 polys (SOD Segomo)

[Wildfire]

I'm not gonna start another "Collosuss is cr@p fight" but I think it's good.  Fair enough there are plenty of weak points but what's the point in building a ship that is nearly impossible to destroy.

I find the blind spots balance up the Collosuss' ability to take a beating and keep hitting back.  It's tough but not imortal (same as the Sathanas).

Oh and Aldo, you got a screen shot?  I'm looking for as many terran capship and fighter mods as I can find at the minute for my own little campaign.  If it looks good and is available I'd love to use it.

The simpler the design, the more solid it looks. Having lots of little decorative things for detail make your ship look like it might snap in half in a minute- look at the Hecate and tell me how long you'd expect that to survive.

[Thorn]

The Hecate looks like it would snap at the mere impact of a beam...

[Carl]

you can make a 133+ cap ship using 8-sided cylinders only.

[WarpStar]

36248, I'm wondering if the game did run, what it would look like

Winning wars is a good start.

Thank you. Thank you. How is it coming along anyway?

And yes. I do agree that the Colossus looks like a water pistol.

And yes. I agree with Shrike. Winning wars is a good excuse for building a ship that is nearly impossble to destroy. An example, the SJ Sathanas. The Shivans won, didn't they?

So in order to win, more and better weapons are required.

execpeted the satahans is nothing near impossible to destroy. It gots a weak point of about 300°  

[NeoHunter]

Okay. You got a point there. That's why the Shivans built about 70 more.

And that's not to say anything about the behemoths that Inferno is pumping out
