Looks pretty good. I currently use the Norak style, but I'd switch to this one when its done.
You do need to clean up the masking at the edges a bit; looks like all those ships have their shields up .

thanks for the encouragement SJ. I have been using "paint" to touch up around the edges so i haven't been able to get them as clear as i would like. Do you or anyone else know of a better program for this?

Anything that supports separate layers of colour would do nicely, but on the cheap, you could just use paint (or whatever you used) and leave the background black, rather than cyan.
Save, then do a floodfill of colour in the background to find the non-pure-black spots you want to get rid of.

I could probably work with you on the AI, if you'd like. I've got a couple of ideas that might work pretty well with what you are talking about.

There are spelling mistakes with some of the file names.
Try using my HTML race viewer to check.
