Blender is a tool to create animations or stills where what matters is
the final visual result and all kind of faking tricks are OK, not a
CAD program where precission matters even if that means slow
processing.

So you have to apply the methods used for animations. One of those
methods is compositing. If you have three groups of objects, lets say
a planet, some middle space ships and some foreground space ships, you
render each separate, and merge them with a 2d tool (Blender has
sequencer for that, but you can always use any other raster or video
tool).

This also has another adventages, as things that do not change can be
rendered once and reused. Also if they perform a motion that can be
faked by moving the result in 2D, you adjust that instead of rendering
again. If you look in DVD extras or any videos about how movies are
made, you will find this is the norm. 3D computer graphics have more
tricks than magician's equipment.

Checked myself, the yellow thing (name is not useful at all) seems to
render fine with ClipStart 100 ClipEnd 500. Or taking another scale
(divide all by 100) where you can make the ranges work. Mostly some of
the ideas in the second reply.

But I hope you get the idea: compositing. It solves these limitations
and can be even used to save time.

Why I do not know is why a crash bug was closed. Except if the crash
is due working with a computer with 256MB and a file of 45MB (no
idea).
