The quality looks good, but the image is to dark, can't see enough detail on the ship.

The image is deliberately dark, it's a modified "paint scheme". You are seeing the nacelle glow at normal brightness, right?

Nice one, Madman (?)
That's the wrong way to tickle Mary, that's the wrong way to kiss!
Don't you know that, over here lad, they like it best like this!
Hooray, pour les français! Farewell, Angleterre!
We didn't know how to tickle Mary, but we learnt how, over there!

I can't see much of anything other than a few huge specular highlights and some oversized glows. Turn down the specular, cut the glows down to size and relight the ship so it looks like something more than a collection of glowing parts in close formation.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Yes, it is. And thanks for the advice, the rest of you. I am pretty new at this, and still unfamiliar with a lot of the controls for 3DS Max R3. But I'm working on it, and I'll get it right soon enough. :)
