Edwin...let me introduce you to Mr. Polycount. Mr. Polycount likes detail oh so much...the more you feed Mr. Polycount the less of your Graphics Card Pizza is left for you.

Ok...all joking aside...thats absolutely insane with the FS2 engine. At least right now. We're looking for performance and looks and frankly it looks great and adding a detailed inside will cause slower framerates. Plus...who's looking when your flying past at 100m/s.

If the models are done then surely that means that playtesting and ship.tbl balancing is either in progress or on the way. That means that almost half of the models up for potential release in Release 3 have already been done (others being other fighters, capital ships, bases and satellites)

R3 still has some ships to be done yet. Gorith, Rutarian, Octurion, some Narn space stations, and some other ships and shuttles. But we're in good shape for it.

I do believe I told everyone that R2 would be the biggest pack followed by smaller ones...that would be completed quicker.

It's all your fault (the TBP team's) for showing us all of the pretty pictures. We're now addicted to TBP and our expectations about time of release are now starting to match the quality of your work.
