IMHO, this counts as a render entry. Others may disagree, but just like any other engine like in TS, LW or 3DS, FreeSpace 2 contains a very capable rendering system. The fact that we can produce render-quality material with the FS2 engine is a sign that's been coming for a while now - with the registry hacks and the latest additions of incredibly detailed user-created models, weapons, backgrounds, effects etc., screenshots are paralleling 'proper' renders in style and quality.
Anyway, I'd accept it as an entry. That means something for everyone else who would consider using the FS2 engine to render things - because, well, we all have FS2, and all the main ingredients are there.
