Wow, i thought the warlock would be alot bigger than an orion. That works for me though, smaller ships won't push my system too hard.

Actually, the size can be an issue of fill rates for your graphics card. There were some issues with the Colossus I think. But all in all, the polys are the number one deciding factor.

How about the relative size of the average
jump gate to say a colossus?

You'll hopefully find our scale for the various ships is fairly accurate within some reason.

Um... I mean to say the GTVDn Bastion doesn't even have that many. Though, it does have close to 9000

Lots of ships in Wolf's Shipyard, are you gonna use any of non-canon ships?

A few. Tempest probably, maybe a couple others.

Most of the "non seen on the show" models will be from B5 Wars or ITF.

These Minbari ships are huge! Especially Void Seeker ships, whatever they are.

What's a Tempest?

Tempest is a heavy cruiser based on the same technology as Warlock destroyers.

Gotta go and try to get a good pic of it

They are smaller than Warlocks but can MAYBE beat Omega destroyer in a direct combat.

Actually, yes. The ship is hella big.
I can't tell how many because there are so many normals that no model program can open it.

I got the little screen saying:

NCount >8000... ouch!

from fs2view

plus, as good as psycho is, he is no bobbaou, or dark.
