[Need More Input] Model replacement vote [Falchion/Kingfisher]

[Durandal]

What does "worse in a technical standpoint" mean? Is it something that players actually notice? I have both a Falchion and a Kingfisher, and voted to replace the Falchion because it's kinda ugly.

It can be one or the other or more commonly a mix of both. The Bounty Hunter/Core gunboats for example have a whole mass of subdivided polygons that players will never see but in numbers can cause performance issues. You can also have doubled vertices which again, aren't visible, but would cause performance problems.There are also more visible issues such as poor texture mapping (as is the case here) where the textures are not properly mapped to the shape of the ship, as opposed to the Falchion which is mapped correctly, etc. I more or less wrote a dissertation on this stuff but the reception was so lackluster that I've mostly given up the ghost on that fight publicly and just handle quality control at an internal level now because people just don't understand it. I could spend an hour in a call explaining this stuff to you on an individual level and you might grasp it like @Wesker did, but forum posts and videos don't seem to do the trick.
