what do you mean by Fake? As in it looks flat?

Well, I hate to say it, but it looks like somebody pasted it onto a picture.

That's probably because the glow is lower than what you've seen: the glow on the ships in the wallpaper you've seen before had their glow settings on max; the ship you see over there has it's glow settings at 200% - compared to the 500% max setting.

Also, the first picture ship has less glowing parts the the other ships shown so far, so that might lead to its fake (which is not fake) look.

Well, I think the reason the yellow stripe might look fake is because the dividing line between the grey metal of the ship and glowing stripe is too abrupt. When we look at the white glowing rectangular section on the engine on the third ship, that glow doesn't look fake because the white part is inside an inset - the glow is coming from a recessed area. The glowing stripe isn't recessed, so the edges of the stripe look too simple and therefore "fake".

Well, actually, I was thinking of the first ship, not the third. But the reasoning is sound.
