I was able to lower the above model to 450 polies. It still looks the same. Then I did an even lower poly version. This one pictured is 208 polies. I'll try a 128 map or even a 64. This may be used to replace the missles for an Andromeda mod. If one ever gets put together. Still lots of ships to do. I been thinking that since Andromeda lacks High Gaurd frigate ships. That the slip fighter could be used as a frigate. Combat drones could then be the fighters, missles and shuttles. There are a number of drone designs from the show that wouldn't be too hard too mesh.
