Tried this ship a while ago, and I was unimpressed with my results.
Here's another take.

Yes, but a bit dark: outer space far from any star. Let it be lit up by
a sun.

There were two light sources in the scene. The ship is simply quite
dark. I should probably brighten it up.

I think, this would be a good idea. As I remember this bird of prey in the
series it is much brighter. The other way is to light up the background with the
orion nebula for example.
Best regards,

The image makes me musing about how an object would look like in deep
space, far from any star. The views like Startrek and such are probably
frankly unrealistic. A starry background would mark the silhouette, but
I wonder how bright would be a realistic illumination, independently of
the /brightness/ of the object itself...

It's actually pretty easy to simulate: Just downsample a HDR star
background into a single pixel (make sure to use linear math, i.e. at a
gamma of 1.0) - that's the colour a perfectly white convex object (e.g.
a spectralon sphere) would have.
In other words: It would appear somewhere close to pitch black.

Yes, I reached the same conclusion by day dreaming ;-)
So, the raptor is pretty well illuminated for deep space...

Nerd Zen: If a starship moves through deep space, with
no one there to see it, does it have a brightness?

No but it would be as loud as a hand clap.
I think.
