Make an small movie clip, with some sound.
But I don't have an good sound for an space ship, i make one myself.
If you don't like it you can rip the sound of it.

You do know the ships clip the moon and, well, look rather sillily large when doing so.
Mattn:
looks cool - but yes, they are flying through the moon ;)
Destructavator:
In general, I'd like to say that these motion video clips look rather nice - Sitters, would it be OK with you if I were to borrow segments of these at a later date, when 2.2 comes out, to combine with recorded gameplay and one of the soundtracks for a 2.2 promo trailer? I enjoyed making the old 2.1 trailer, but back when I created it I didn't have any animations to work with other than recorded clips of gameplay I made.
I was thinking that for a 2.2 promo there could be a video that jumps between animations such as these and clips of gameplay. You would get a better idea of what I'm envisioning when 2.2 comes out and when I could start working on a new trailer video. I have a number of different non-linear digital video editing packages that could do the job, complete with various special FX and transitions.
Actually, if the project at this point is not adding much more for new features and is simply bug-hunting for 2.2, I could probably start working on a promo sooner and possibly have it out by the time a stable 2.2 is released.
(Sorry if I strayed off-topic.)

First off, I agree with mattn and others, they need to be a lot more distant from the moon in order to be believable, as the carriers are only a few hundred metres in diameter.
Second, this would be so awesome as part of an intro cinematic, perhaps tacked on before the start of the script we've already got. So it would run something like this:
1) View of Earth from space, filling up the screen. Camera slowly pans away to focus on the moon, where the carriers come in and do their fly-by. Whole scene is silent, only music playing.
2) Last Carrier disappears off below the camera. Cut to a view of the launch bay sending out a UFO (Scout or Fighter), which the camera follows towards Earth at breakneck speeds. Still totally silent, music only.
3) Cut to a static wing-mounted view of the UFO, looking straight at the cockpit from the wing. Little wisps of atmosphere start to come in, and the UFO heats up slightly. The camera starts to shake more and more violently. A roar of wind slowly fades in as the atmosphere thickens, growing louder and louder, the only sound in the world.
4) The camera stops suddenly at a fixed point above a large city, watching the UFO fly away, tracking it as it flies over the city. Fade out as UFO starts to turn.
5) Cut to original intro script (alien walking towards burning city).
Slightly beyond our capabilities right now, but damn would it be cool. :P

Winter
