Hmm... Do any other ballistic primaries work for you?

Don’t know. Currently the Maxim is the only one. I could quickly make a new ballistic weapon and see if it works or not.


Edit: I just tested it. Ballistics don’t work.

Report that to Mantis. It's not a problem caused specifically by my effects then :)

Actually, I was planning to do some updates today, now that you mention it :)

Oohh, having fun?;)

Damn. Just... damn. I have to start using the Lamprey more often.

Vas Light Laser looks good, btw. It always looked better than it performed, now the gap is even wider. ;)

The GTM Hornet (and no, it's not the very-ubar poly version, 'tis a downstripped one - I have carefully tested this (also due to the new effects) and had no slowdown even with loads of em on screen).



Before you complain, have a look in-game, screenshots really don't show how this'll look in-game. After having tried in-game please give your comments, as you'll see this is rather... uncommon, and I really need comments and suggestions to get pleasant results.

The thrust looks.. poofy.  I didn't think a missile in space would have puffing exhaust as if it's "tut-tut-tuting" all the way to the target, but would have thought it would have been a more solid stream.

The missile model looks cool, though.

I agree, the start of it is there but it looks like it's suttering its way forward - like it's misfiring or something.

Perhaps if you make the particle spew smoke instead of glowing engine kind of thing... and added a slightly more obvious rocket effect to the back, it'd look better. (Personal preference).

What he said, looks nice anyway though.

If you used an ani that would be good too - so the glowing exhaust smoke would eventually "cool down".
