it'd be cool for each IFF to have an own color for the dots on the radar.

okay, another one... for atmospheric missions in skybox... turbulence, i think this could be achieved by using the same effect as what you get with engine was from capital ships, 'cept it doesn't damage your ship...

why?.. i hear you ask... two things, one, realism.. two, the fact that periodic gusts of wind buffeting your little fightercraft would make it hard to aim, and thus, more challenging.

also, engine glows as lightsources. very faint ones at that, just so it'd light up the hull near the engines, it'd be cool to see the light from other ship's engines casting a faint light against your fighter, and any other ship that would be in range.

another cool effect... Lightening, yes, we have that, but, having them strike a large ship's hull would be just cool to see.

heck, it can happen to jet airliners all the time, why not a destroyer?

falling slowly, i see, okay, one more, then i'll shut up

battleship style salvos, where all the weapons on one side of a ship fire precisely at the same time at a given target (salvos, anybody?), or a ripple effect EG: gun 1 fires, then immediately, gun 2 fires, and so on.

also, from what i heard with model animation, how 'bout with models that support it, portions of which move depending on your speed, and when you turn (imagine the little wings on a horus moving when you change direction, like a plane's flaps would)
you get the idea.

also, just a random thought, but when the SCP modelers make a full upgrade of all the ingame models to HTL, what about the cutscenes using the older models?.. wouldn't that look out of place?

I think TBP was working on something like that. They may actually have it done by now...
