It doesn't seem quite done to me yet. It's a pretty nice start though. I have to admit I'm not completely sold on the font. I think something subtler would look better. And I suspect that, in general, more footage and less text would make for a more appealing video.
I'd imagine it's pretty damn difficult to make something look all smooth and cinematic-y in the FL engine, though.

In case you just want to take footage of locations and nothing involving other players I found when doing my video series that going into the single player and warping to the desired location(s) is more comfortable.
You do that by typing "base 'base name'". Like for instance "base Versailles Residence" and record the footage there. A few of the plus points doing that are that you have no server lag and no server messages ruining good shots and obviously no travel time and access to other commands such as "cash 'amount of money'" to buy every ship you want as well as modifying rep to record in areas which you might not have access to on the server without getting oblitarated by npcs (Omicron Iota or something like that for example).
@Shizune - Thanks! (:
@WPeregrine - The dark gloomy look of it has been fixed, so that's no longer an issue.
@Haste - I can look for another font if you want, but if people prefer this one then I'll have to stick with it. The music does carry on so it's possible to add atleast another 3 minutes. But I wanted to keep it relatively short.
@Tal - It's been fixed (:
@Black Widow - That might be why, but as I've said it's fixed now so no longer causes me any annoyances.
@HassLHoFF - That also might be the issue, but yeah, it's been fixed.
@Deeceem - Thanks man! That is actually really useful, just been to Omicron Iota. Got some footage, took less than 5 minutes (: Infact I filmed it in a Nom BS.
@Vrabcek - Yeah just been there and got some fairly nice shots (:
Thanks for all the feedback! I'll try and take into account all of the suggestions (:
Great music! Did you score it? Pretty neutral on the font, but definitely not a fan of the transition as it's a bit over-cooked. A tad on the shaky side. I'd suggest less horizontal distortion and more grain and perhaps a flicker or glow.
It is too dark, but I don't think you should make it look like Christmas lights on ecstasy either. Bring the levels up a little, leave it contrasty and add a subtle glow to highlight the lights from the sides of the ships. The darkness adds to the atmosphere and the over-all tease if you can nail it right. Too many space trailers look like a wall littered with glow worms.
Good stuff!
