Nice enough. anyway, gotta make up a new acronym: RTFT!!! ( rotate the ****ing turrets!!! ) coz it's to be said for about all the renders involving FS ships here. You need an explosion on the beam entry side too, not only on the exit side.

I like it lots. But, you should make the beam green with a white core, not white with a green glow. That's for lightsabers. ;7

Well, all you gotta do is remove the text and mirror the image.

Speaking of the text, pick a better color.

They're the factory seconds.


And yeah, that text sucks. Between the color and the font, it's like there's a little black hole there, sucking away and causing the rest of the image to suck by extension.

Well... Umm.... It's okay I suppose. I just wonder why the edges of that nebula are interlaced?

Also the explosion, well... meh :blah:

Use gradient glow on the beam. This one looks pretty bad when close to camera.

Particles like that emit light... so no...

?
whatever is in the way of light emmits shadows, even another light source. particles will emit shadows.

no...
he means (I think) that those particles are blocking another light source...

Because Stone Cold said so.

anyway, I decided to leave the shadows. Here's the updated version.

Woa! Much better. Text, blinds effect, and I see you decided to use the gradient glow eh?
