Very nice. a few comments, the tie are missing their engine glow. and with such a bright blue nebula, as Rick pointed out, it should cast a blue hue on the ships.

When you love a pet, loosing it is like loosing a part of your soul. I lost part of mine on Feb 12 2008. Never will it be the same again.

Thanks everybody for your comments.

Tried to make some nice engine glow for the TIEs but it just didnt looked good.

You're absolutly right with the blue hue. I liked it so much that I didnt even considered it though I usually add a hue depending on the background

edit:
Maybe someone could help me... Does one of you know how to activate or make the lights for the windows in fractalsponges ISD? Because there's no entry in the Light Lister for them. I'm using Max 9

The windows aren't lights - I put a self-illuminating FR material on them, so that didn't make it into the release version. The object layer for the windows should still be there in the file though, most of them should be named "lights_..." if I remember correctly; it's been a while.

Nice composition for the pic - I agree with the other comments about the blue hue from the nebula though. Jim Bassett's TIE is still pretty good for its age, eh? I do TIE flares with a small red volume light - just adjust the attenuation range to get the size of the effect you want.

thanks.
with the empire you'll get the best images

here's an remade version:
Had to remake everything hell of work..
I changed the composition a little bit and added the blue hue to every ship and a red engine glow for the TIEs

Um, those rear hexagons are not actually the engines.

Hey man glad you did. This rocks. Do you by chance have a Victory Class model ? Nice to see an Interdictor- a few Victories in the background would make this pop!
