For the animation, I created a simple story board that would detail what would happen in my 30 second animation, the story board does have explanations below each frame on what is going on and is relatively easy to follow.
Going through the playback settings for Maya's camera window, I had found that Maya has an option to playback in realtime (24 FPS - Frames Per Second) about 80% of what I had predicted (30 FPS). This means I would have to create 720 Frames, luckily Maya moves the objects within the world space automatically so if I created nice motions between 10 and 20 frames, Maya would do the rest and move the ships in a smooth pattern.
One of Maya's features that I had found was that you can change the view windows on 4 View Mode to 2 Views and then change one of the windows to the camera that had been created for the animation, making it allot easier to edit and view what the camera was seeing whilst being able to edit frames for the animation.
