Personaly I would use 4-4edge and 4-4disc primitives on the bottom of the
craters to save space. With a file this big you want to save as much space as
possible.

That won't really work.  The edge and disc primitives only have 16 sides,
which isn't really enough for circles that big.  Plus, he'd have to redo the
surrounding mesh to meet up with a 16-sided circle.

It looks great, Willy.  The only thing I can see that it's missing are the
optional (linetype 5) lines on the free-form surface, but unless you have
some way to automatically generate those, I don't think there is anything
that can be done about that.  They would also increase the file size by a
huge amount.  (Around double maybe?)
