Actually, those are pretty good! Only thing I can see "wrong" is that the glowy parts on the engine nacelles aren't glowing. But regardless, I like!

As for weapon effects, I made a quick phaser effect and put it on your pic:

Engine Glows ,...especially Star Trek styled ... are simple in Photoshop with the Plug in Axion Glow and Sparkle. You just select the area/color and set the glow threshold and radius to like (has a preview to show the effect as you're making settings changes)

Wouldn't mind seeing that ship get into a fight with something else.  Excellent work.  You model that yourself?
