Screenshots from X-Wing Alliance. The upper ship is the dreadnaught. The engine glow was set entirely by color-keyed lighting in the textures. The bottom ship is the familiar freighter. Although it is over 1 kilometer long in-game, it uses two 256 x 256 pixel and a single 128 x 128 pixel texture for only 400kb of texture memory.
