The blue-grey streak you're referring to is supposed to be the plane of the
galaxy. I realize it needs to be flatter, but fixing that problem will
mean reimplementing a good chunk of Galaxy in my own code.

Nah. It's Canada's largest ISP, and pretty much the *only* choice for
decent broadband in my area. :-(

The ship mesh weighs in at nearly 8,000 faces; I wouldn't even try to model
something that complex in Pov script. It designed and modeled over the
course of a week using Wings3D, with the gun points (glowing bits) added in
Pov using the standard primatives.
