Hmm, while I'm no master judge (actually I have no right even trying) on renders, there's a serious "It's flat and in your face" kinda sensation that I get. Is there some way you can cut down on the "shininess" of the fighters' hulls? And I personally don't like anything that close unless it's a capship. Plus it's empty in the top-right; the fighters need a destination, don't they? Might put a distant fight going on over there (memories of FS2 opening cutscene surge through brain).
Anyways, that's just me. Other than that, it seems okay. Maybe I should take time out to figure out how to do renders myself...
