I believe Fury's mentioned trying to adapt this to large non-beam weapons like UEF railguns. Here's hoping Diaspora has figured out how to get it working for battlestar main guns.

battlestar main guns peirce the hull? if so then ill use it definatly :D as soon as we can adjust the leangth of the effect and the amount of explosions generated :)

I agree, the plumes look a bit to long, but if they can be modded through table edit... then it's all ok!

I'll be testing this, thanks for the juicy tips  :yes:

Yeah, the explosions do protrude a bit much but it sorta makes sense - it's space, the only thing missing is that it should expand into a cloud.  Unless the beam somehow attracts it.

EDIT: And you could explain the cloud not continuing (being shut off when the beam dies) to self-repairing forcefields of some sort that compartmentalize the ship.

You sort of need to see it in action. It doesn't hang around looking like that.

Looking at them ingame, I can't decide whether the plumes are a reasonable size (in my logical mind) or comically huge (in my aesthetic mind).  Anyway, I'm uploading a quartet of low-res (although HQ should show up later) clips showing the effect from different angles as well as the slash effect.

Seem a wee bit big to me in the Belisarius-perspective shots there.

Not bad ... needs some tweaking, but definitely a cool effect :)

This might be the best thing to happen to beam weapons since their inception.
Never mind that last, this is the best thing to happen to any weapon!

The main beam punch-through may need to be a little toned-down, but the slash effect is amazing!

You should note that impact, flash and piercing effect sizes are fixed per-weapon, they do not scale depending on whatever is on receiving end.

Right. To that end I believe there's going to be a way to disable the effect on small ships like fighters, correct?

The slash destruction trail looks pretty good up close.
