This is something I've been playing with for the last couple of weeks.
The X wing and Y Wingcomes from the Starwars POV archive
and the TIE from the Starwars modelling alliance ('fraid I don't have
urls for either)
The sun is actually a Chris Colefax lensflare, as is the proton torpedo.
The laser blasts were done using similar code to that of the
light sabres of a month or so ago. This is my second play with media
and I would appreciate comments on how to improve the explosion
bottom right.
Media code

<0,0,0>,2
pigment {rgbt 1}

}
Thanks

See what you think of these changes. You should try putting those laser
blasts out away from the spacecrafts firing them. They appear static where
they are, seemingly stuck to the ends of the laser cannons(correct term?).

Theese look good, although the cargo frighters need a different texture And I
can't say I relate to the burning tie... doesn't feel that good.
Electrical(blue) sparks on the other hand...

Really like this image.
One thing that I would mention is the photon torpedo, I wouldn't
have known what it was if you hadn't told me, as it just looks
like a very active star or something, if you had a few of them in
a row and getting smaller/larger, as they get further from the
source, then it would be obvious that they are photon torpedos.
Really like the sun, I've got chriss' include but havn't played
with it yet.
Cheers
Steve

They had Photon Torpedo like Weapons, the ones Luke used when destroying
the death Star in the First Movie ( from the old ones ) and they also
used them in the third part against the Death Star, both the X-Wing and the
Falcon used them, and they look like a drop and are Light Blue, with a
Yellow touch.
and by the way the Lasers look excellent, but if you wan't to make an
Animation ( i hope you will do one ) try to use triangles with gradient
textures,
and cross them with 90 degree angle, the render extremly fast, and you can
normaly not see any difference, espacialy in an animation.

Gail Shaw was right in the first place...it's proton, not photon
torpedo. It's mentioned in the scene where the rebels are briefed
before attacking the Deathstar in A New Hope. Also, although the
movie doesn't say, I'd guess that proton torpedoes are what's being
dropped on the asteroid in The Empire Strikes Back to fish out the
Millenium Falcon.
So it's: pRoton for Star Wars
and: pHoton for Star Trek
Aah the important things in life! ;-)

Within the scene it doesn't matter what they are called, but I think Lucas
envisioned Proton Torpedoes, which were supposed to have destroyed the Death
Star. Remember? Luke fired them down the ventilation shaft? heh

You may not respect a light bulb for it's meager photon energy but
I gaurantee you would have new found respect for the photons coming
out of a 5kw industrial laser cutting system if you got in front of
one :)

Arguably I would not wish to subject myself to either source of
life threatening material and you are right I would probably prefer
to take my chances with the laser. With my shiny bright disposition
the laser would probably just bounce off leaving me unharmed.

Well, I thought you might have some insight as to what a photon torpedo
actually is. I'm sure it is some form of nastiness beyond lasers, but I have
no idea in what form. :)
I imagine something like a water balloon, with a very high energy payload.
Why? I have no idea. :)

It has small amounts of matter and antimatter annihilate when the
torpedo explodes. Since annihilation converts all matter to energy, that's
one
BIG explosion. E=mc^2 where m is in kg, E is in Joules and c=3*10^8 ms^-1
Thats a photon torpedo from Startrek. No idea what a proton torpedo from
Starwars is.

You're right of course! Protons cannot form a star, because they cannot
bind to one another. The proton weapon is a theoretical device at best, as
are all S.F. devices. Right? :)

Why single out S.F devices. Our current knowledge about the
universe are assumptions and speculations based upon long
range observations and may be entirely wrong in every respect.

Protostar is simply the early stages of stellar evolution. A possible
scenario for a proton star would be a neutron star having a shell of
protons, i.e. lacking in enough electrons to be consumed into neutrality
further along with the rest of this sort of dense star. Which is to say,
if electron content were not in balance with the proton amount, a neutron
star can not continue the condensation of both electrons and protons into
neutrons. This of course implies a possibility of electron stars as well.

I used to read books on physics for fun (sick I know). Then I married a
high school dropout. One day she picked up one of my books. She got lost on
the first sentence, pronounced me a heretic and a nerd, and then took every
available chance to keep me from such books.
I do miss the books a little, but life is good for the most part! ;)
If I live by different rules today versus a few years ago, why not the
physical mechanics of the universe as a whole? :)
Anyway, this thread is..... 86.

Youch! The science=nerd issue; one of my pet peeves. I could

Looks great! Although the torpedoes are blue in the movie (and games) I
believe.

Beautiful, huh? :)
Well, anyways, to clear things up. . .here should be the proper colors:
Rebel Laser - Red
Imperial Laser - Green
Photon Torpedo - Blue (or green? muah? :)
