So I got the bussard vanes spinning and the blinkies blinking, then set it to a nice big 4k 20 second render...which took almost exactly 24 hours at the end of which.....I realised I'd accidentally deleted the windows. Reducing the size down to HD (and honestly my video editor wont export 4K without premium so no loss there) and a few fewer samples cut almost 20 hours off the render time, BUT it seems the glare node isn't proportional to the image size because that got a LOT brighter. Think a middle ground in glare size is better and I might desaturate the port and starboard lights a little.

I will say I really like how it looks when the camera pulls away, the hull texture when viewed form more of a distance works really well with the lighting to make it feel solid and real

(oh and obviously I don't own Trek, or the music, etc etc)
