Yeah, but I liked the effect of having it only partially lit from the back, and seeing the lights on the front. If it was your way, it wouldn't be bad, but I tried it, and didn't really like the effect.

Just windows? I could definately see a use for it, but I wasn't going for it in that render. I made that render for fun, not for the purposes of this thread... Just a funny coincidence 'sall

it of course would depends for more than just "what ship is it?". on your Fenris, I'd do what you say around the red lights, and I'd try and make the windows that are adjacent to a wall perpendicular to them lighten them a bit. but that's it, overdoing things is not always good.

Yeah. That would look better, but it's a bit more work.
