Is this an engine limitation, or a matter of playability for low-end systems? I tested a ship in the Starfury Demo that was ~1700 polys and it ran fine on my system. Right now I'm working with ships that are around 2k-5k polys, AFTER I've cleaned them up. I'm sure I'll be removing/simplifying more of the detail after I've had the chance to test them in-game, but I doubt any of them will go below 1k polys.
That was kinda my question...I mean if you are using a puter that is over 5 to 10 years old, I can see this being a problem...If you have a standard run of the mill less than 2 year old puter, I cant see how a few polys here and there are going to make a difference. I mean how does this compare to homeworld in terms of polys?
