I prefer the red one myself.
Hugh, instead of going with white, have you tried with a shade of red slightly lighter than the hull? I know with DoGa light colors with high emition tend to come off as white, but maybe a different shade of red, or purple, might give the ship a more powerful, yet subdued, feel.
Then again, you could keep it as it is, give Fyron a big raspberry, and keep the ships for yourself
