Here a picture of a space ship - (this is a Worth In Pieces) - model of
spaceship under wings3D and render with PovRay. Some works on lasers,
textures...

Nice colors.
I like especially the textures of the planet and of the space.

Nice model.

Those "lasers" are more like ion pulses.
I'd use some transparent object filled with emissive media.

I see some fasceting on the front part of the mid wings ridges. Try some 
localised subdivision in those areas.

he is firing lasers not laser beams

They are lasers beans!

Nice and strange AIR ships. Space ships don't need any wings or any 
thing looking like wings as there is no air to travel through.

In fact, a space ship don't need to be nicely profiled, they can be 
realy boxy with the function dictating the shape.

Laser ARE beams. Laser beam is a pleonasm.
Laser can be pulsed, it only mean that the beam is not continous.
Next, in space, a laser would be invisible unless it have an astronomic 
power level, I mean, in the multi peta-watt range...

Given the speed of light, even short, high frequency, laser pulses 
should be *MUCH* longer and you should only be able to see one, maybe 
two at most, unless your scene covers 10000 Km or more. Then, your ships 
would be so small and far away from each other that you won't be able to 
apreciate them.

Rule #1 when nitpicking: Don't, until you know what you're talking 
about, because you'll inevitably be out out-smartassed :-P

LASER = "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation" - 
that's neither a beam, nor an apparatus, but a principle.

A proper term for a beam generated using this principle would be 
"coherent beam of light" if all you want to describe is the properties 
of the beam; but if you want to also reference the particular principle 
used to generate it, "laser beam" would be perfectly appropriate (while 
"laser light" would indeed be nonsense).

If you accept the acronym of the underlying principle to denote a beam 
generated using it, then it is just as acceptable to denote an apparatus 
using this principle to generate the beam - though of course "Laser 
source" would be more precise.

Of course, propelling a volley of laser apparatuses would entirely be 
possible, might look somewhat like depicted, and science fiction authors 
might even invent /some/ reason for doing so, rather than just shooting 
slugs of lead, tungsten or DU...

Whaowhaowhao...I have just made a picture, I don't want to know if it's real or
not... I don't care if lasers are or not visible, it's art! And with art all is
possible.
