What 3D program are you using ?

Yeap, i'm using 3d Studio Max 6, and i have remembered most simple mesh-poly operations.

Can anyone who made a ship for FL give me an approximate poly count?
I'm somewhat half way of making a great Heavy Fighter but i'm afraid my poly count is gigantic.


Oh yeah, and i have a quick Max question.

Let's say i create a cube, that has a lot of poly (vertices) per face.
I modify most faces of the cube, but one, remains untouched - straight and planar. STILL that face has a lot of polygons that are somewhat useless to render in game, since that particular face is straight.

How can i join all the polygons on that face to only one?
I am as sure as hell there was a way, but i forgot. Last time i worked with Max, it was Max4, and many years ago.

Thanx.
