While upgrading the TBP images, I made a small sequence of some Patriot Frigates on a planetary raid - Enjoy! =)

Neat as usual... yet even though the last pic is really awesome it somewhat looks too cartoony :|

You're probably right. I think it's the worst one, I think myself.

The fire and the lightning don't look realistic. That's why. And the colors are too bright.

I think it's awesome though.

I think the fourth one, plowing through the rain. Although judging by the starfield it's more re-entry than atmospheric flight, so I'd expect at least some heat buildup.

remind me to remove those stars....

aaanyways, actually, on the fifth pic, that lightning is a real one, but I think I overdid the blurr filter for the glow effect.

Does the 3rd and 4th come in wallpaper sizes?

The problem is the lightning looks way too thick. It makes the scale look way off.

Yeah, I overdid the blurr filter, I see that now.

The lightning on the left looks great though, don't change that one in my opinion.

But we can't forget there were other pictures
In the second picture, can you get any better resolution for the planet? Compared with the rest of the image, it's a little out of focus.

3rd picture = love
4th = even more love. Only suggestion I have to make it better is to add a fog on the back end of the closer ship. Have it fade out with distance since I imagine these ships aren't exactly small. There'd be a bit of rain/cloud between the front end of the ship and the back, just like there is between the first ship and the second.
