Here's the ship, redone. I added some running lights, as per Bandolin's suggestion. Also I added MUCH better lighting to it, all lighting here comes either from reflection or (mainly) from the five lights (not counting the light from the running lights).

Also I created a much better texture for it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT LINK, Bandolin!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is an excellent tutorial and definitely one of my favorites. I created the texture completely from scratch in Paint shop Pro, then used it as a height map for a terrain and rendered from above.

It looks 2000% better in my opinion.

Any suggestions? EDIT: There is some minor postwork in GIMP for this; I added the "softglow" effect. Makes it look a lot better =)
