Playing with some temporary materials

Had a play with setting up some base materials, and trying to dial in a look. The Enterprise-E is surprisingly 'white' when brightly lit (in First Contact anyway), whereas the Akira looks very dark in FC, but again that could be due to lighting, so I need to decide how I'm going to play this;

Lens flare to hide the awful first pass at the deflector

I feel like this is almost certainly too dark
