Opinions... is this a good looking weapon?

A better view might help, kinda hard to tell what it is..

[Jabu]

Pretty interesting.

Hmmm, glowing sunglasses. Cool!

Try seeing what they look like if you put trails on them.
Maybe something like this might work better as a capship big gun projectile, rather than launched from a fighter.
Still, interesting weapon; makes a change from the normal sphere/teardrop shape.

Yeah, it looks allright! Although it seems a little like a flying disk, if you know what I mean.... can't explain that though....

Well, this is what I was using for the bitmap:
 

But I wasn't liking it that much so I tried again with this:
 

Which created this look (without any laser glow):
 

This is it with itself as a laser glow:
 

And it with the regular laser glow:
 

The regular glow adds that FS2 glow that all weapons have, but it washes out the colors.

And here's what it looks like being fired (zoomed in):
 

Well, after all this I think I still to Volition's graphics for weapons rather than trying to make them on my own (especially since it takes so long to keep reloading FS2 to try different techniques).

... Or maybe I will just use this for a capship weapon.

Go with the bottom one.

[Alikchi]

Yeah, the bottom one looks best.

[Anaz]

Hmm, interesting idea (don't everybody shoot me at once now...) use it as the warmup glow for a beam (the one with itself as the glow. I'm not quite sure how to do this because I haven't been moding for a while.

I imagine that thing travelling very slowly - any faster, and it would elongate and become a bolt rather than spherical. Looks pretty cool.
