This image is somewhat technically interesting as it is rendered in two
passes with the nebula and starfield rendered separately from the ships and
star flares. The background is composited with the ships in the second
pass.
Spot the Chris Colefax plugins. ;-)

It's been said already, but... Cool!
Did you render with .png transparency, or something else?

I have done more complex composites which use transparency, but this one is
just done by mapping the nebula onto a plane behind the ships.
Hmm. Very nice image- What are the spiky discs?
I see 2 plugins (one of them used more than once).

They're the cruiser's escort group--relatively tiny frigates and corvettes.

Components of Galaxy and Lens Effects are used four times. The large stars
are lens flares while the nebulae and small stars are done with Galaxy.
