I think the thing to do is load the Yamato ship in the mission editor, and set your play graphics to max. Check out the Yamato DDS files.

Do a quick mission and check out the detail, keeping this in mind.

- All polygon shapes are made out of triangles
- every rectangle shape has 2 triangles
- A fan shape is multiple triangles
- All objects are made out of multiple triangles.

Count the 'objects'.. the more complex the object shape - the more triangles.
A long winded idea, but you'll get a ball park idea.

good luck
