Definitely.
But the hull looks too much like plastic ( too withe'ish'). Maybe darken
the color and decrease the roughness or increase the phong_size
somewhat.

Since this is a space craft, and the nearest source of light is probably 
a sun, light fading probably wouldn't make a noticeable difference. The 
falloff curve would be so flat at this distance that there would be very 
little difference in the intensity of light at each end of the ship.

However, lights on the ship itself could certainly benefit from this...

I have no light fading.  I don't really think it's needed here.

My fill light is as far as my main light.  I think it gives a better
lighting.  More even.

I think radiosity would only slow things down.  And with the fill lights I
used, I don't think I need radiosity.
(3 fill lights)

I used light groups.  If I didn't, the planet would have looked all blue :-)

There aro no lights on the ship.  The Falcon has very few lights.  There are
two on the forward mandibles, and some on the bottom, but I think that's
all.

The Falcon is really very white.  And there are no specular hightlights, so
decreasing the roughness wouldn't do anything.

I like the prismatic affect on the right lower corner of the exhaust
glow..,
