Not too bad for a second try, but you NEED a new background.... it looks like a 300-odd pixel pic blown up to 800 pixels or so.

Is that the Enteprise-E or the NX-01 Enterprise? The two look kinda similar.

I guess this would be a bad time to mention that glows are rediculously easy to do in 3dsmax.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Geez dude, you really need a better Earth map.  Bug me sometime over ICQ and I'll send it to you with the proper detail settings and everything.  I use 3dsmax so you'll have to translate the settings a little, but they're pretty much the same from what I hear.
