ever since you learned to make beams you started putting them in all your renders

The colors are way off as well.

[Grey Wolf]

Good render. I like it. Good job on the Saths.

how? that is the actual skin from the game.

I'm gonna do a little of Sushi's job, because I can see a few minor but rather blatant problems with an otherwise good picture...

The beams from the Sathanas are red, however the beam glow is blue, and theres that ugly line between them bother, you really need to fix that if you can.

Lower the lighting a bit, and make the texture properties on all the ships less reflective, as you can see (especially on the middle/right Sathanas) theres a large amount of reflection from the "sun".

Make parts of the nebula darker? it reminds me of my first renders where the nebula covered the whole of the background.

(In future) as you get better you can add ships to this to make it more interesting, as I doubt either the Faustus or the three Sathanas would be without fighter support or a couple of cruisers or something, just flesh the picture out a little.

Other than that it's a great render! well done.

The Sathanas beams are an intense red, with red glows, not a pinky-orange with blue glows.

Fine with me, Thunder...I'm leaving for college in a month anyways, and I won't be taking FS with me, so you might as well practice doing it without me.

It's pretty nice, and apart from the Shiny Sathanases™ and Wrong Beams™, it's a very high-quality pic. Keep at it  

Wait, there's something else. What's with those kind of bright squares around the beam glow? It looks like you used an addition/screen layer to add those glows in, but the background of those glows was not 100% black, but something like RGB=(10,10,10)...

And, Sushi..! You're leaving! What will we do without you!   Good luck where you're going

the sathani are as shiny as they were in the endgame cutscene, and the beam glows on the BFred are blue. go play the game for yourself and you'll see.

[Carl]

and about those lines, they aren't visible at normal screen brightness.

[Daedalus]

Well... until I saw everyone's posts, I thought it was just kind of a joke, because I sure thought it was funny.  
A little science cruiser with 3 Sathani on it's butt, and he's asking Command for help.

Just the fact that he thought command would help is the joke.  

[NeoHunter]

The Sathanas textures are too shiny and the beams are not red enough. But overall, a good effort.

In time, you will produce better looking renders.

Keep honing your skills there!

... everybody's brighteness is wrong, according to you. The lines are there, period. It's a constructive criticism, so you don't do that next  time, so try not to be that agressive

Very well said  

[Carl]

well i am the one who made the render so i can decide what brightness it is supposed to be viewed at. that's logical right?

and i'm sorry if i sounded aggressive. maybe i should have put in a   or something.
