Wow, those look sweet..
Except you forgot to put the engine glow on the top left engine of that fighter (Starfury?)

it's obscured.. and that's a good thing otherwise that one would wash out the entire screen because of it's proximity to the camera (they're on Squared Falloff)

Couldn't you make it look destroyed? Well, they are overally(sp?) nice pics, but the shadows in the second pic look a little peculiar.

The Starfury engine glows are as un-B5 as they come. And, of course, Starfuries rarely have all engines on unless in battle (why should it? nothing to slow you down there).

The rest are cool enough. The backgrounds are very nice and the sun looks more realistic than in most renders.

Kazan, the engine should glow even if it's obscured. The way you simulated engine glows was by having lens flares, right? Well, that's not what an engine glow is caused by.

Lens flares are the effects that occur in photos because of a bright light sourcee being directly visible.

Engine glows seem to be more like a constant cloud or haze of gas behind the engine, that is lit up by the light from the engine. So you don't need to have a direct LOS to see the glow.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Nice. The Orion and Hecate look awful smooth, though.

We know what it is, and Setekhs right - drop it a bit, especially on the Orion (see those grey patches? they look poor).

Apart from that, W0rd!
