Concerning 3D Models...

Greets,
Well, i just got my hands on the WCU meshes...and was browsing through them, and in taking a look at the textures on three of the ships that i did, i can across a....startling discovery.
they look like crap.
someone has obviously gone out of their way to kill the work that i put into them to make them look good. the centurion is now this unholy piece of model junk, the galaxy lacks its details, and the tarsus looks awful as well. whoever is doing this, i have to please ask that you stop reducing the models. i'm not going to spend hours at a time creating a highly accurate and detailed mesh only to have it destroyed by someone. that will quickly result in 0 (zero) new models being produced. the idea is not to create uber high qaulity to then tear it apart. i promise that i'm going to do my job and do everything as low as possible, so i request now that you trust my modeling judgement and do not tamper with the work, and i should probably expand this to more than just me. any modeler who models a ship at the new standard (8k tris or less) should NOT have his work destroyed. it totally defeats the purpose of having these new models made. i'll work on replacing the offending meshes as i get the time too. i'll put together model packs or something as things get done. with the semester almost over, i'll actually have some time for some serious modeling work.
anyway, just...a concern, and annoyance at finding this out.
