Title: Capital ship laser effects
Post by: Jonathan_S47 on April 13, 2005, 02:25:50 pm: A few weeks ago when I was having technical problems with my laptop I started playing around with Lightspeed’s and DaBrain’s weapon effects. I updated the look of the Terran and Shiven Turret lasers. Pics and the .rar file can be found here. (http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=555)

That way there wouldn't be such a drastic change in ship quality between a standard model, and one that (in the context of the campaign) is supposed to be very much supperior.

TrashMan: Screen shots of the lasers can be found through the link in my first post.

I might do a version for the hi-poly Orion, but it might be a while. Kind of gotten distracted by other things.

Also, how can I put this, I'm not that keen on it (the hi-poly Orion):nervous: The hull is just that bit too busy. GalEmp's adjusted reskin amde it look better though.
