ooh pretty!

[Raven2001]

the effect is pretty nice, although imo the purple doesnt rly fit in there... try another color perhaps?

[Bobboau]

yeah, I just wanted purple some were, maybe I should make the vasudan turrets red-yellow and the terran turrets green and purple...

I'm makeing this into an impact explosion for huge turrets

hmmm... actualy, that doesn't look so good for an explosion (makes a good shock wave, not suprizeing cause that's what it was made for)

[Raven2001]

Well, if your so keen on the purple, Id say use it in the shivans. In fact, it would look in place because you already use the pink on their beams

Coz tbh I dont see it fitting on terrans tbh, for those maybe a green and teal?

EDIT: Oh and that explosion animation would work very nice for the Vasudan huge turrets, if you keep it as a small shockwave, without any knockdown effect ofc

[Bobboau]

no shivans need to remain very close to red in all things, the middles of the beams are as far as I'm going to go there.

I tried it, Proximus seems to be able to make a thousand good shockwaves, but not so good with explosions.

right now I'm working on the tables, to put my three new turret weapons on vasudan ships, it looks like I might need to make vasudan turret versions of the subach and maybe a few others.

give this a shot

taylor is going to linch me, all those huge animations, I did mention that this is all going to need to be down graded eventualy, I was just keeping it in high quality for development and when it's done everything is going to have to be downgraded.

Purple is red, in a manner of speaking... so I guess it depends where you put the purple, and the "redness" of it

[Bobboau]

well the sort of purple I want would definitely be not Shivan

[Raven2001]

well, then that sums it up allright

That vasudan shockwave would be awesome for a huge turret impact. It's an impact shockwave that really shows off the target has been hit with a powerful laser.  It'd really make capship laser fights a lot more attractive, they are effective, just no one cares for them generally, this'll be awesome when stuff in the port looks cooler from the new recosmeticized vas lasers.  Then capship laser fights won't be so simple or really boring because then it'll at least seem like the lasers are doing something serious.
