Great stuff, Zeger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need more of it! Missing: Tiny ships (maintenance ships or shuttles) in 
front or around it to show the real big size of the cargo ship! And here and 
there a few lightened windows, visible only in the shadowed zones, would be 
an important add-on.

I created a small personal shuttle, do you want to get the source code? You 
could use it then.

I use these shuttles in my SPACE CARRIER scenes. The shuttles would require 
only small cylindrical flight-in holes in the hull of bigger ships. The 
shuttle is just made for transporting humans on short-range routes, only 
space, no planetary targets. The hull is made of industrially mass-produced 
diamond, and contains 10 seats. Controls are displayed on the inside of the 
tubular shuttle and pilot's movements and brain readings control that 
shuttle. No real controls are required.

I also have developed a number of spaceship turrets. Those, as well, i would 
offer you for usage. Shuttle and turrets are published in this newsgroup.

Best greetings,

Sven

This is more or less a remake of another cargo-ship I did a few years ago:
http://www.povplace.com/gallery/SciFi%20-%20Own/12.jpg

it might be a bit dark and maybe the shapes aren't very clear, but it's a 
WIP :)

some post-processing was done (the bloom-effect)

of course, my greeble-macros were used :)
