I hate bland Pax's so therefore i made a glow map of it.

May i ask what will happen if a model exceeds the poly limit? D:

If it's a really good model, it will probably be okay if it's a little over. If it's just a badly modeled model with a weird mesh, someone will ask you to work on it or optimize it to get it under the limit. Also, if it's a really good model with just a few issues, Feathers might even fix it up a bit if it's really needed.

The poly limit in alpha was 114k polys, after that they come out as a spiky ball. That being said that was just a horridly unoptomized model. Nothing anyone makes should be over 10k for anything that I can imagine. Pretty good at cutting polys. I spent allot of time doing that early on in the client until I got better at modeling from the start for low poly.

These mods are... not good.

Keep at it. Try for more detail in the glows. Color fades, more structure like voroni etc.

Get a little color theory in there http://www.colourlovers.com/
http://colorschemedesigner.com/ < we used this one when designing nebulae and galaxy backgrounds.

If someone makes something good enough to get my interest for going in the client I will do touch up work on it or give constructive feedback.

*tractor rings, lasers and the like have the models defined in code, good for performance.

Can someone give me a quick tutorial on how to create a new model and how to make a mesh for it? thanks.

There are thousands of tutorials for modeling and designing in 3D. A free place to start is blender and although the learning curve is extremely high for a first time user, it's a solid program. If you want to start just really basic, you can try something like Wings3D. Youtube is your friend.
