This is more content that it is code related I think, but how difficult would it be to add a flash for when a bomb explodes?  

Right now when a bomb impacts a ship or explodes in space the POF disapears and the  Shockwave ANI starts to play.  Even given the way explosions behave in space, when 1 kg of Anti-Matter is released there is going to be a flash.  I'm not thinking of a white out situation, just a medium to "oh God! My eyes!" intensity flash.

Add to this, I think there should be an EM effect when a cap ship explodes.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

A tip. Don't attempt to use realism to justify yourself. An antimatter bomb would disapper in an invisible burst of gamma rays. You might get some flash from the casing going up but it might not be that impressive.

Instead say "Do it cause it looks cool" :D


Anyway I think this has been asked for before.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
