Description
Thank you very much to everyone who commented on and ed this piece!

This image looks OK on my screen, but the color intensity, brightness and overall balance varies somewhat on the screens I have viewed this image on. Please keep that in mind when commenting!

UPDATE: After working on textures for another piece, I decided to update this one with those new textures (mainly for the engines of each ship).
Also changed were some additional lighting elements, and some additions were made to the background.

The title is a play on the submission date. The overall idea was to show some non-canon starship designs.

This is an update of a version I did back in 2011. dief25 indirectly challenged me to do an updated render. I was also curious about my own improvements over the years.

This is the original render. The new one is based on the same scene file with additions:

Here is a link to the actual scene setup , just to show it was actually setup and rendered in one scene.

COMPOSITION: Rendered entirely in Lightwave with minimal postwork in Photoshop by me. Texture modifications, Dawnstar mesh polygon fix, nebula mesh, background, composition & FX by me.

MESHES: Sentinel by Jonathan Wasik, Bradbury by Kenny Mitchell, Interceptor by Stuart Baldwin & Dave Keeshan, Dawnstar by Dennis Bailey with polgyon fix along the deflector by me.
