Okay, "I just woke up" how's that?
For your long thin ships, all you need to do is the A word... No, I meant Animation... Simple flyby with the camera following/panning... I say that assuming these stills take less than three weeks to render...
AutoCAD seems to have improved on the flyby options a bit since I last looked. It would be nice to find some tips and tricks that actually explain things, though.
Please excuse how crappy the video is.

edit: here, see if you can do this:
Solution:
The newly recommended format for exporting 3D data is FBX.
The command to export to FBX is FBXEXPORT.
I've been using AutoCAD 2019, which, oddly they've removed FBX import/export from. I still have 2018 (which has FBX import/export, but has other major bugs they never fixed) loaded.

If you're not happy as a capital ship, what about rescaling some of the detail and making it a work-bee or shuttle for some similarish ships in your fleets?

Maybe I should have called this "Cnidaria" or something...

I don't like the spokes, so they're going to go.

Uh, never mind. I just noticed the geometry was corrupt.
Maybe now.
