hmm... i dunno.. i used my voxel creation of a typical ufo (saucer) without normals in the game and it looked pretty good.. tho using normals could probably enhance the look of it.
the weapon i created for it seems pretty usefull and looks pretty decent. its basically the same as the orca bomber except it drops down canisters (image: bomb) filled with gas clouds.
pretty good to use right before i send in my troops :D
