I like it, but if it was B5 it would be even better.

Kick ass! I love it, especially the nebula and the Defiant. I think to fix the problem with the space station you could consider changing the lighting... it seems to be coming in from all sides where the sun is clearly behind it, it should have a much larger shadow with only the edges defining it.

Zeronet said it would have been better had you used Babylon5 ships, yes? I disagree. Had you used Bab5 ships, it would have been exactly the same. It would still be a groovy picture and all (and indeed, it is a groovy picture.

I just prefer that people to create renders of their own models, or models from their mod project or whatever. It just makes them... cooler somehow. Probably because there's more to it than just another borrowed universe (yes, that goes for using and reusing Freespace ships too. Original ships are just better). Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.

I'm not gonna nitpick the lighting, Thunder did that already.

This is one of your best images :yes:

A refreshing change from the b5 stuff, imo.

No Cool B5 ships which are uber would be the best, originality doesnt always mean they'll look good.

Two things, the planet looks a bit odd and the station a bit skewed. Otherwise, very good!

Hmm..from waht i can see the planet looks fine;)

That was the best station i could find:) and it looks weird because the lighting isn't corect:)
