Greets,
I've been thinking, what would you think if the battleships missiles effects were improved ? I'm not saying the trail of smoke behind, I'm 'down' with that. But what about a flash when the missiles is fired ? Would it be hard to put into a mod, or would it be taking up server room ?
I just think having a flash of orange / yellow / red would give more a of atmosphere, imagine, your lining up for a bombering run, suddenly two flashes come from a cap, and see two+ missiles coming towards you..
That's actually a good idea, but I think turning it the other way around would look much better.
Instead of adding an effect at the turret when missile is fired, I think having a better effect when the missile explodes would look nicer. Cause, Battleship missiles (And Cap ships in general) pack much larger punch than Fighter missiles, and it's kinda silly to see they make the same 'puff' effect as Fighter ones when they explode...
But back to the original idea; One downside I can think of, is people with older computers would get massive FPS lag when they fire missiles because of the same 'flash' thingie you're suggesting, and turning down the graphic settings only because of one single missile effect wont really be worth it if you ask me.
' Wrote:Edited BS Missiles to look like Nova Torps and have the same explosion effect?
Nova's have the same as they always have been on disco,
But the BS missile explosion look came with new trails I have.
Also, those big explosion were suddenly fixed on the battle razors ^^
Epic screenlag when I <strike>hitted</strike> peeved someone.
Changed it again though, BS missile are still biggie white explosions.
a flash could be useful so know when someone is shooting BS missiles, but I think a bigger impact effect would be better. the explosion radius is larger than the effect itself
