I always felt the Freespace shockwaves were too over-the-top. Maybe something more subtle and fast moving would create a better immersion than slow and big shockwave. For inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprjF2-WGsk&t=2m4s

There is no part of SoaSE that FS should take inspiration from.

Especially not in the graphics area.

Why? Bailknight's graphics mod is pretty beautiful.

I does have some nice effects here and there, but a bit too shiny and bright for my taste... (speaking the one who just made a super shiny and bright shockwave :P)

well, here is another quick test, this time its a 2D version(2D go in effects folder, 3D into maps)
a more "realistic" look I guess, some might think its plain... will wait for feedback :)

Hm.... they are quite interesting :D. Simple, but noticeable, while not being so.. "juicy". I like them  :yes: But man.... 500mb's of pure weight :D

its always better to make things bigger and then scale them down for the "final" version... I'm basically just playing around with these to see if something nice will come out of it
