Made this for Shagohad last night. The right side of it is bugging me still, not sure if moving the planet over more would fix that. It's also pretty simple, background + character + ships + text. (Speaking of such, ships courtesy of Frozen, I snagged them from the thread Nightfall made asking for stuff.) I lack knowledge of effects and such... alas.
You could use some lightening on the Ships. If you are using Photoshop you can do that with the Filter.
Filter -> Render if you don't know that. Also, why do you use a non-Freelancer Picture? Gallia looks pretty cool and a Screenshot would do even better. Other than that it looks cool. Cool as in Good.

The best way to add lighting to that sig would be
to use the dodge tool set to Highlight, and the
Burn Tool set to mid tones.
The dodge tool will add light, Burn tool will darken.
This is great for adding depth aswell.
Also set your render Layer to Screen, and then
on the background layer, erase behind it, with
the eraser set to 35% ;)
