ya
stupid ea turrents eat up polys like a mofo, and it does not help that they have so many bloody many of them


I made a 2k one... and it was clunky as hell... but.. I dunno... I'm thinking of doing this one lower.. its something like 3200 It hink without turrents.. or 4k hell I cant remember I did 3 freaking modesl today lol


I guess what it comes down to, is if I can get decent fps with this setup on a better system then mine(it IS outdated) then screw it lol i"m upgrading so can everybody else LOL

8 turrents so far, i'm skipping some of the smaller ones
the damn nova has 22
I dont have a clue how that one will work

the thing is tho, even if I kill this down to like 2k it barly effects the turrents. milo's gonna have to look at this one I'm thinking

bah

forget that

I swapped in a 2k model I had and dropped the turrent count nearly in half

for a whole 6fps gain

meh
its staying like this, I can freeze the turrent models and use it that way until there is a fix for this

tomorow
3am here

so tired

Hahah. ok. There's nothing that says, though, that you have to drop all the weapons, even if you drop the turrets.... You could use a none-modeled weapon. I mean, that works fine and looks fine so long as arn't zoomed in on the ship. So that will be even more fine on lighter more numerous ships.
