Rework hangar bays on "Delphi", now ship have four side bays for "Thunderbolt". This ship is scout and does not needed in large numerous fighter. Before - 3760tri, after - 3168. And possibly reduce to 3k tri. EDIT: soon complete "Lupo" frigate. Very cute ship. And thanks Thoumsin for optimization lesson - before optimization gun turret have 72 tri, after - only 56. And one turret with gun only 182tri.

[quote]Excellent work! Very nicely laid out ... I can use those to make ingame ship icons! As always wonderful models Zvezdochets![/quote] Next ships: Yeah, all ship in scale as on early preview.
http://danmangames.com/forums/index.php?topic=1721.0 Thoumsin, if you try optimize i be very happy. But model have 10k, lower is impossible.[e digicons]:|[/e] My biggest polycount model[e digicons]:'([/e] especially on comparison with "Hermes" (1.8k tri).
[quote]model for reference but create your own model from zero... it is the only way that i see for remain in the limits...[/quote] I make model with zero, but too many detail [celestia model only as etalon and scheme]. Thank for info, i use optimization, but please are not disillusionned low quality[e digicons]}:)[/e] [e digicons]:cylon:[/e] 3k because is a trade ship. For refinery may use this "skylark" transport - 1.5 limit for this small ship enough
I want ask our modders - how many tri i may use on EA cargo transport ? Now model contains 156 details and 7.8 tri. May i use 7754tri:156=49 tri for every detail. Too many simply detail - optimization useless...

Interest trailer about modelling, but i use 3d max and now ship without curved surfaces more simply for me. Pipe structure on EA ships is a clear terrible for polycount. In this time work on EA civil transport and now model have 4.5 tri [unfinished! and try use maximal polycount limit].
[quote who="Vatchek" reply="1015" id="2503717"]Just a random thought about the White Star class from someone who's been following the thread intermittently.

There are several capital and cruiser class ships seen throughout the series from most of those alien worlds, and the White Star could be seen as their ultimate capital class. Or the destroyer
Sorry for offtop, but how change weapon colour plasma charge on Advents ships ? Now i build one more ship "Lupo" frigate and he armed heavy particle cannons (you are see this weapon in series "Severed dreams" and he use green charge). In game this charge have blue colour - and how change he on green colour ?
New update: "Nike" battlecruiser [info with efni.org] And only 5.8k tri. NEW IMAGE - YOU MAY SEE HOW BIG CAPITAL SHIPS, ALL SHIP IN SCALE. You may identified ship themselves.
