I don't understand the need to differentiate the flak myself. An explosion is an explosion.

But materials from wich explosion started ain't.

as some people have already stated about the explosion, an explosion is just an explosion, BUT it can look different because of different substance exploding...
a shockwave is a shockwave, no other way around it :P although I do agree the current shockwave looks kind of dated, and the colores are way too bright IMO, and for that matter I already made a new shockwave for ED, looks pretty nice IMO :)

Yes, it can look different, but I'm saying that it can look the same; therefore, there's no good reason to change it. Contrast this to missiles, where it's impossible for Shivans to use missiles that are obviously of Terran construction, sometimes even with English labels on them.

About the earlier discussion...

What the hell? Green Shivans? I don't think I've been more opposed to anything more than this!

I think that explosion is too slow (even being just half of the total animation) and too regular... try something less "circle" shaped
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

Eh... it doesn't move smoothly. I mean, not only is the animation too slow and the frames too far apart, but the stuff in the frames doesn't move right on a frame-by-frame basis.

I'd like to point out that what you see above is an animated GIF. The concept executed in DDS/EFF would likely look much much different.

Why all the hate for green Shivans?

I want you all to turn off glowmaps in the Launcher with the normal Media VPs loaded, and go fight a Basilisk.  You'll see a lot of green on the black of that ship.

Same with the Manticore (not as much), and hell, even the SF Scorpion (moreso than the Manticore, and possibly even the Basilisk).
Who uses forum signatures anymore?
