LowPoly version of Heracles

I've been asked to do a low poly version of my Heracles class gunstar for a BSG mod. My ceiling is 10.000 faces. She's currently at 1732 faces.

...

The Heracles gunstar was the first model that I ever showed here at scifi meshes.com. She was about 285k or so. The mesh was really messy, the uvw map was a total mess and nothing was smoothed or beveled/chamfered etc.

I lost her by accident when I switched from Max 8 to Max 9 back in uhh, November or December I guess. Anyway, one of these days, after I'm finished with the Aquilea, I'll do a rebuild of Heracles which, I estimate, will be a 750k to 1 million count model. I've learned a helluva lot since those days.

This current low poly version is being worked up by me as I review the four or five pics I have of my original model from various angles. I'll not repost them because, well frankly, they look crapppy to my eyes now. I still love my design, by I'm embarrassed by the execution.

I like how the pods aren't necessarily on struts
they look really solid
are you going to put any engine pods on the rear there?

What?!!! That's crazy talk.

I don't wanna hear any of this silly modesty from you Mr. Backstept! I've seen your Cygnus class cruiser in all of its original coolness....I know what you're capable of!
