Oh well go on give it your best shot, upset me if you can :p

By the way i would use a different spacecraft/ship but i really don't have anything that could match the work and dynamics of the one in it already. PS: it wasn't given a full render. so ignore that.

IMHO everything is placed wright on it, only needs texturing work, and since my space expirience is almost zero dunno what exactly to propose at this point, but you might start, as I suspect you will, with more realistic planet texture and go from there, looking good so far ! :) P.S. I would maybe make platet much bigger so only little part of it is visible, but again that's me...

I reckon Kemal's idea of making the planet bigger is cool, I'd also change the b/g starfield, create one in an image package and wrap around a very large sphere as though doing an HDRI. That way you can add cloud fields and other space things. There was a great tut recently mentioned on here for creating star fields, but I can't remember where on earth it was....

Gog, that starfield is one i bought from the market. I'm no good with image programs like photoshop or paintshop, i am learning them both though :) I'll see what i can do with the starfield though and i'll enlarge the plant plus i'll try to take the reflectiveness/shine out of it, thats one thing that was bugging me but i couldn't quite put my finger on what it was till now.

I think the speed effects are great! If I were you I would take the color out of the moon (planet) and make it more greyish. Then I would enlarge the ship and place it more in the distance. Maybe give it a metallic look (shine) with red as it's primary color. Thereby making it the only colorful part of your scene and directing focus towards it. You wouldn't need to redo your whole scene either, Just select everything except the planet and the sky, then view from top, move away from camera and enlarge. Good job so far!!

I think I would stretch the planet out some more, but good work so far. Perhaps a more density to the 'speed lines' towards the centre, a bit like they did in Star Wars....?

you know, lunartick, i could give you the fully textured version of the sunslayer :) drac

I thought that was the full texture on it already drac.
