Wow, sweet! But something tells me they'll look better in motion - as it is they look a little... odd...

Yeah.  All the laser is the same colour, and it's brighter.

Nice! I made something like this for my campaign (long, fast laser-like projectiles) but yours look better in the screenshots. ;)

Oh, very nice, makes it look like a huge battle, out of those sci-fi movies.
The planet's from his campaign, Casualties of War.

Hey Aldo,
First  :yes: Looks nice
Second, I've been trying to do something similar and I just wondered: are you using pof's for the lasers or just standard in-game rendered laser ones?

I'm using the non-pof type.

P.S. U made that planet with LunarCell, right?

Neither. (Think laterally...you'll find out soon enough ;) )

Vyper: I think you should put only 3 bursts per map, this way it really looks too much like a single object, it's kindda obvious. Or at least don't align them perfectly, maybe.

After much lateral thinking I get the feeling that isn't a "laser" you're shooting at all... ;)

As for the appearance Venom, as you know its difficult to capture the essence of a moving weapon via screenshot. Point taken though.

Nowt's released till the camapign is.  Which won't be that long.  (few months, maybe less, maybe  bit more)

It's basically a rapid fire gun.  There's a better flak weapon in CoW anyways- at least for the Agamenmon, but the Tracers are probably the most effective AAAf weapon it has, simply due to the amount of them.  They are lethal, a bit like the way Fs1 was before shields.  Makes bombing runs a lot harder, because you can only take a few hits before your shields fail.

kinda like a Fenris with Maxim cannons and shields disabeld...

Maxims has liek a range of 3200 units feels liek Starwars charging towards that Fenris
