since you use square/rectangle polygons double that number of polygons/faces.
Can you tell my plaese why must be double the Facesnumber?
That's a common rule for determining the triangle count from the rectangle count, each rectangle will be split in twice on conversion. ;)

not that you have to double it, but during conversion of model, you combine faces. you already have done that by using square faces.

You are lucky if a 1200 face model (2400 face model before combining) of being able to be converted with the limits the game has.

with your style of creating models I suggest to keep total faces under 1200

Yes, I understand, had the same trouble when I've begun with it.
You'd need to learn about unwrapping and using uv-mapping for texturing the ships.
The page I've linked has only been the introduction, there are several more pages.
e.g. for uv-mapping go on reading here: http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_Do ... Einleitung

As you can see it's very very much stuff, so I'm sorry not to tell things in detail. ;)
There are also lots of tutorials in the web.

Its quite a design you have there... the only thing i dont like is the ring nacelle pylon, perhaps a more conventional one would be appropriate. I especially love the way the neck looks when looking from the side, it mimics the Luna class as well as the Galaxy and a bit of Nebula class in there. Good job :)

Wow, u wonder where that pic is from? Ive never seen the ship on screen, but that looks like it might have been a preliminary design model of some sort.

Is this ship going to be a strike cruiser i assume?

Yes i think so. Ithink the Ship is a heavy Battle Cruiser over the Sovereign but under the Scimitar. This ship is the Wallace Class.

I haven't a Grafikprogramm -.-! ok I have Paint ;) for Windows but i think Paint isn't good for it!

If you can make the textures look like the pic, then i would most likely download it! (considering of course that you combine the palettes down so that it only uses 1, and also you should look into the shared textures project)
