Cool looking ship - kind of has a retro thing going on, like an 80s scifi movie
I wish there were a few more loops in the front of the glass part though to round it out a bit. It stands out as being more low-poly than the rest, I think because it's obviously supposed to be smooth. The highlight there really draws the eye too, so that region was the first thing I noticed.
@rogueNoodle: I did add a few extra loops since someone else had pointed that out but seem like it needs a few more.
@respawnrt: I did use a cage to bake most of the stuff. I initially started this project to be a high poly model only but when I decided to do a low poly version my high poly already had sharp edges and I was so far in that I decided to keep pushing forward. Lesson learn (always do high poly with low poly in mind) but will keep in mind to just have larger bevels.
Thanks for the feedback, I have tone down the highlight so that it does not draw your attention to it right away. I am now currently updating my environment scene by adding a bit more blue in the light and trying out some of the new stuff in the latest UDK.

look at the shadows from the trees.

Currently looking at ideas for a new environment
Never hear of the R-Type game series?
Cool ship by the way, but yes, i agree it has some baking problems with the edges.
Huge fan of that game and wish they would make more.
Also to see more images of the ship you can see them on my website.
