Looks pretty good, though the animation jerks at a few
moments... And I'd like to see a ship explode, or cameras
attached to ships... That'd be nice.

I was thinking about doing something similiar myself, but
more particle-particle interaction instead of ships. I like
the swarming behaviour of birds, and wanted something
more like that... More alive and vivid, and even more
unpredictable.
And, above all, something I can play around with (changing
weights on different direction-choices, speeding and
stopping, vision etc).

Sort of a tool to populate a little given area for animations to
add some interesting detail. Perhaps I could have a go for
objects moving across a heightfield and avoiding too steep
areas and themselves (to get those battlefield of Lord of the
Rings, Braveheart, Star Wars, you name it... All with POV!!!)

Well, at least something to strive for...
