Well, Hitfilm's Particle Sim is a wonderful thing....

This entire sequence is a single particle sim, one planet model, and a couple of skymaps. One evening to import, texture, rig, animate the Cylon and it's engines for the particle sim, and build and light the environment. Another evening to do lasers and render, an hour or so for audio.

Built off techniques Simon Jones shows in this tutorial.
