Default Re: The Terrans

The metallic shiny texture and mirror effects are awesome, but it looks rather complicated for the 'low poly-count' engine that Starfury uses. From a design standpoint, the big 'wings' or 'shields' on either side are a mystery. And a major source of additional unnecesary polygons. This is a concern for a game that will sometimes have to model dozens or even hundreds of ships. Why not just go with a 'utilitarian' boxey design kinda like the MOO III human ships? Shouldn't humans have fairly simple ships? I liked the triangular 'imperial' shipset that Atrocities posted a few months ago. Nice, clean lines that sort-of resemble the Star Wars Imperial ships but not closely enough to look like a knock-off.
