Why does everyone want to tone it down. I mean, this looks wicked. Lessening the effects would..well, lessen the effect.

I'm all about the shinies!!! It reminds me of mushrooms

Rictor, I think it's because those ships are supposed to be essentially matte.  Still looks awesome.

That reminds me-- has FSO fixed the bug where space debris renders behind opaque background bitmaps?

hmm, looks like the particle thingys don't have alpha on them anymore, ohwell, I'v swapped out that code fork, and gotten a fresh CVS copy so I can get 3.6 done

It doesn't look very appropriate on several of the ships because, as Stratt points out, several ships are meant to look more matte. It looks especially good on these Trek ships because the white becomes silver, but some ships just start looking like they were covered in cellophane.

maybe because ships aren't made of mirrors, well, usually?
That ship doesn't look like it's flying next to a planet, but like it's gonna be swallowed by a supernova in 3, 2, 1, bam you're dead.
That factor is as cool as cars with all chromed metal parts.
Cool for jackies.

Nice, very nice.

Omni, do I sense a warp effect with the length of those particles passing the runabout?

While we're on the subject of those little particles, any chance we could get an option to remove them? They're, err...well, they're messing up our Atmospheric Screenies for TI...
