Re: SCP graphics problem - smoke particles/shield effects
Ok, numerology aside, I have further graphics issues. The updated thingies fixed the black squares, but also I've noticed the guns of the capital ships seem to fire only little blobs of coloured light, not the projectiles i see in some screenshots. Also, they just disappear when they hit other ships without displaying any impact.

All other weapons look fine.

Re: SCP graphics problem - smoke particles/shield effects
are you sure they're the right kind of weapons?

the regular turrets fire green blobs.
flak turrets fire exploding projectiles.

guess which kills more fighters?

yup. the blobs.

why would an SCP error be considered as news? :wtf: *smacks Cobra*It's a feature.

I'm not sure if my sarcasm detector is online at the moment, since it's quite late (or early) here right now, but do you really say that blobs kill more fighters than flak turrets? :nervous:
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

Maybe it's different for other people, but I can truthfully say that I get nailed by the blobs more often than the flak.

for some odd reason, flak hits me more often, but blobs kill me more often.

However, this may be because I tend to dodge by sound when badly hurt, so the exploding flak makes me dodge more than the silent blobs.
