Will the redesign affect the current Glaive or Scythe?

I think the Glaive and the Scythe won't be affected that much. I mean, I think we had some early concepts that they were really cool, but they were also not necessarily the most optimal for performance reasons, and one of the passes was to sort of make some of the ships come closer to the way that Nathan Dearsley built the Scythe, which is also the Glaive really, and so I would say that we're more bringing things closer to that style, and we're still doing some developmental work on things like the kingship and stuff like that, so there's a lot, but some of our very early concepts were sort of more kind of bony, ribby, spiky, and so we still have some of those aspects, but not quite as high frequency because that ends up being problematic, and yeah, the poly count you need for the ships, so we'd rather be using things that we can use a lot of our custom normals and some of the kind of detail and pod mapping that we do that gives you this really great detail. I mean, the ships look like they got millions of polys, but in a lot of cases, that's because it's really smart use of the detail mapping, POM mapping, and the custom normals.
