  I can't really get much from the pictures. The first two are kinda small and the third one is dark. From the video, It looks interesting, but it needs something... maybe antennae or more variations in greys of the hull

  both the pictures and the videos are too dark really. the idea of designing a whole load of new stuff is great but the smaller craft do seem a bit blocky. i watched some of your other stuff on youtube "sci fly through test1" and thought the motion in it was excellent but the models featured(especially the ship) were still too blocky and the buildings lacked any texture. will look forward to seeing what you do. also as a tip, although your renders and videos are very dark it appeared that your capital ships were basic extended boxes with a pointed end and some greebling, i would suggest adding some extra features to make the overall shape a bit more complex.

  Took some of your advice, but ill keep working on it.
  

  

  
  Also I have already update this video aswell but changing the hardness of the ships so they dont glow as much. Issue that I having atm is creating a 360 space back ground.

  quite a lot better, really needs textures on the models(even if just simple material textures rather than mapped ones). go to this tutorial on mine for how to do a 360 degree space background, it works with blender but could probably be adapted to your software. go to "a trick for space scenes" on "Step 21: VERY BASIC animation in blender".

  there is also this if your using max https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmWDBxvV3hk also you can jsut do a starfield 360 veiw by incasing ur animation/models inside a giant 2 sided sphere with a star feild texture on it
