It's the Reliant, the first carrier you fly from in Starlancer, kinda like the Galatea (only it died by ramming an enemy carrier)

Very nice. The asteroids look slightly weird, but they don't matter that much.

How would you say they look weird?  I've been trying out different ways to make them, trying to find the best.

They're very nice, but I had to find something to complain about in that pic  

They look sort of "soft", and in my opinion they reflect a bit too much.

If you can, give them a rougher texture.  

Nice job, dude

Give the asteroids a rougher texture. Something with lots of craters maybe.

The Reliant looks okay to me. Wonder why some say it looks weird?

Too bad the ship and its captain died though in StarLancer.

Nice! only a couple of things (and this is just me *****ing for personal taste  )

There seems to be way to many stars in there... it makes it seem kinda overcrowded in that respect, but it just seems a little wrong  

The main bulk of the capship seems to close, it wouldnt matter but because of the textures it just looks bad (especially up at the top right of the pic, you can see the flat pain kinda textures)
And wouldnt the fighters have engine glows? maybe not - but I think they might  

Other than that, wicked pic! I like the sense of scale you've got there with the tiny fighters up against the carrier (never seemed quite right in the game, this is how I think it should be). And I love the Neptune as well, it actually looks like Neptune as opposed to a random planet, great job!

I know, it looks pretty flat, but the main purpose of the pic is to show off the name plate.    

Oh, and that's the Neptune skin from SL itself.

What can I say?  I like having lots of stars in my backgrounds.

Too many stars. On my crappy schools crappy monitors they seem to "wash" together slighly, so I can't really see that smaller ship

Hey Shrike, do you build those starscapes from within 3DS?

Seems so. It also seems that it's made with an environmental noise map. If it's that way, you should raise the low noise limit and lower the high noise limit a bit, or you could use the Starfield filter on Video Post. In any way you'll get better results (the filter is way better, and it gives you a lot more control).
Probably away. Contact through email.

Is this a polite way to say that anything is better than Shrike's starscape?   [j/k][

ooh.....I'll have to check that out.  I'm just following the stuff from the tutorial, that is my whole third render.   So Setekh, you can take a long walk off a short pier and hug an octopus.
