Not bad at all-a good first picture!

Both the blaster fire and engine glow work well. but there are a couple of
things that you could do to make them mre realistic:
The blaster fire:
Give the blaster fire a 'core'- a smaller lighter color beam in the middle that
feathers or blurs to the outer green. That will make the beam 'meaner' looking.
Also, add a little light reflection around the bottom of the far wing and on the
opposite gun. A light beam of that strength is bound to reflect on the near
surfaces. Shine a flashlight where the beam should be to see what I mean.
Engine glow:
All you need there (maybe-strongly optional) is a lighter color fading to flame
color, like the blaster.

Good stars! Need more, though:)

Tough question there. If you want to be accurate, you would want light from one
source. And a dim light, at that. The most important thing is to have a very
sharp picture. Space has nothing to blur or distort an image.
Good start! What does the bottom look like?
