While I don't find that it fits into the style of my own mod, the model is well done and the concept has the distinction of being unique. Well done IM.

I do have a question for the modellers, though. Notice in the bows that the facets are readily visible and distinctly not curved. I see this a lot, is there a technical reason for not creating perfect curves on models?

Saving polies...that's the reason. We could make them rounder/less faceted, but then the poly count would go skyhigh. I have a model I did a long time ago that is really smooth and round, but the poly count is around 15,000...way too much for the game.

There is a trick to make the saucer more round looking, but it will still increase poly count.
