Looking for the author of the Copernicus Station??
Hi,
Who made this station? All it says is 'shadow' in the readme, but there are lots of shadow usernames here......

As a matter of fact, JPKTrekker never modded a day in his life (well not Armada anyway, but he's slayed a few dragons in his time [OMG]). He's in Starfleets clan and leads the Armada division there, last time I heard.
Flew in here 17 years ago, flew out 13. Back then early 20s, dreamin'. Now, late 30s, reminiscin'. Too bad there wasn't an Armada 3, except the Sins of a Solar Empire mod. But hell, at least there's that. *Shrugs*

Aye Captain I did. JPKTrekker = Shadow Phoenix on Starfleets clan = Eragon on my site = about 20,000 other aliases online. But he's not the one who made this one LoL.

ahhh, well that sucks. Would you mind if I made a lower poly model of the station for the Galactica mod?

I guess you plan to get rid of the recessed areas on the tops of the disks? (talking here about the 6 satellites)
You are right this will lower the poly count. This measure alone would save you 864 polies
Correct me if I am wrong.
The tower, well the grid-structure alone has 648 polies at the moment.
It is one of the stations characteristics that was the most difficult to model and contributes a lot to the looks of the station.
What are you planning to do there?

To get polygons down, I tried to do the same at first, did not look right.
So I published the model with the original tower.
(You should see the original model I made, before I reduced the polygons for A2. 10000+)
If you can get a decent result, go ahead, with the changes we talked about.
But at best you can get it down to around 7300 polygons, I guess.
That will not make much of a difference performance wise in my opinion.
Permission granted for the proposed changes. Good luck with your mod.
Post a picture of the result.
