I'm still trying to learn to mesh. And I'm making some progress. Lint pointed me in the direction of a tutorial that at first was nearly impossible for me to understand, but now I'm slowly understanding it.
However, after a few sessions with Mudd and TUS, although I'm still no where near the level I need to be in order to do an entire ship, at the very least I know how to use splines to make a saucer.
Here's some images of what I've got so far. The saucer stands at 3,520 polys, chopped down from a little over 7k. And the polys were chopped from the rim alone. Still more poly chopping to do.

Looks good so far :thumbsup:
If your looking for real low poly but yet trying to keep the roundness try welding verts in areas that dont need smoothenss, like any flat plain .

Exactly what I'm doing with the rim. I've done 3 other splines before this one, and noticed that if I have a rounded edge rim, there tends to be a bunch of small polys packed in close. That's the case with this saucer here.
Before I decided to get some sleep this morning, I had managed to hack off more polys to get it down to roughly 2500, and I'm still not done yet.

It's been a while since I've really done anything in terms of trying to make something from scratch in MAX.
I've recently made a small breakthrough that I'm somewhat happy with, and actually look good.
I made my first pylons.
Progress in me learning to mesh is slow, but at least there is some progress.
Here's a render of me first pylons.
