When a ship explodes, you have stuff flying away, burning gaz, debris, well, stuff. Call that a shockwave or not, but it does the same effect, and it's cool ( for a game I mean ).

Perhaps Terran, Vasudan and Shivan shockwaves should be unique to the species... blue/white for Terran, Green/brown/yellow for Vasudan and Red/Orange (more fiery colors) for Shivans. After all they do use different power sources. And the beam colors are different which is proof of that.

mmm for a "basic" effect we don't need a polygon mapped with a standard ani but probably different anis that reproduce perspective (so a render from different angles) selected randomly would work enough
only difference than the other method : it will not be possible to see a shockwave that goes trough our ship

Ok....Newayz, I think all the ideas are great. I'm glad that my little suggestion got the attention of more than one person It's just too bad...I can come up with tons of ideas, but I never have the skills to put them into action
