I understand what you are saying there BabBam, just one note and the no damage thing. There are micrometeors that would provide damage to the outer hull. But more to the point here's a pic done by someone nicknamed Vypr over at the www.spacebattles.com forum. Now I realize it's the thing your are trying to get away from (i.e. warp engines etc) but take a look at the texturing and lighting etc. This wasn't modelled in Bryce, it was done in LW or Max and rendered there as well, but the only textures are the decal eveything else is modelled. But it is what I was talking about, it has life, also noticed the lighting isn't pure white. Just something to think about.
