I can almost hear Icefire saying:

Did you see it in FS2?

hehe.

Well I don't know about you but I saw a whole bunch of polygons in FreeSpace 2

I see how a landscape could be done but there are difficulties. The problem lies with the way that the engine renders things and the difficultly in setting up such a construct.

Anyone remember WC3 and WC4? They did planetary landscapes there. WC3's was an untextured landscape that had a fairly short visible distance. WC4 went to textures but that killed most machines at the time.

You've also got the 750 (or so) poly subobject limit in FS2. So building a landscape could get difficult. There is no fogging distance (and the nebula pof overdoes the effect) and framerates will likely be bad.

A full-detail full-scale death star in the FS2 engine with all the buildings as subobjects would make even supercomputers run away and hide.
