Description
A battle convoy of the New Republic, patroling the border regions near the galactic expanse of the outer rim regions. After numerous incidents with restructured imperial remnant forces, like the raid of Bpfash and the destruction of an Elomin elite force, the military of the New Republic under the command of Admiral Akbar is forced to show increased presence in the border regions that are once again becomming battlefields in the struggle for galactic peace and dominance.

Very cool! I love both the image and the story! Not sure how to pronounce those names though...

The light needs to be far far away.

you might want to add some mapping to "dirty" them up a bit and running lights, window lights etc... to keep the models from looking to clean and static.

Things we didn't know about the Patriot Act.

ShellShock
Excellent work! I dunno what Fredi has against the planet. Looks very good to me.

I dont know what HorseFleshs problem is, but I dont have the feeling that the planets athmosphere looks wrong. The clouds and the athmospheric glow looks quite good to me. About the engines and the jet trails: I think that is a style question. Pure and simple. From the physical aspect, there is nothing wrong with long exhaust trails, since that just depends on the power output of the turbine and the fuel used. Some particles have a longer afterglow than others. Excellent work for me!

'I dont know what HorseFleshs problem is, but I dont have the feeling that the planets athmosphere looks wrong' Loderunner, please dont get the wrong idea about my comment. I meant it as constructive critisism, pinky swear...Just trying to be helpful. Ryan-

Christ, they are SO looking like starwars plastic ships :D funny. I would like to see the wolf in the near future :o
VOID
Thanks for all the comments and I partly agree with HorseFlesh about the planets look. I am still tinkering with that.

Looks darned good to me, artists choice of ship appearance and planet work. I appreciate any artist taking the time and effort to share with the rest of us. Since I havent been in space I cant speak to what a planet should or shouldnt look like other than hollywood versions but i suspect a difference between methane and oxygen. Thanks VOID. ya do damned good work. Dwayne.

Thanks for all the comments and critics!

The planet's atmosphere is rather strange. It has a very "textured sphere/decal" feel to it. The shadow side of the ships have a strange glow around the edges of the panels that really doesn't make any sense. Other then that, good composition.
VOID
In fact, the "strange glow around the edges" is supposed to make them look more like plastic models. Always remember, that not every render is supposed to look as realistic as possible. With certain themes thats not intended from the start off. ;)

Great engines, and I like the rebel transports. "Great"
