So I'm in the military so I've been gone for a couple months and all. I came back and went to low sec to pvp some and killed a few ships. One thing I have always enjoyed about blowing up a ship is the anticipation of that shiny beautiful blue orb that appears when the enemy ship pops and you are triumphant.

Every ship I killed I noticed that didn't happen. Instead there was a really fast orange explosion with flares spiraling out of the wreckage that was, (in my opinion) a lot less epic than the previous model. Everybody I have asked hadn't paid close enough attention to notice.
Has anybody else noticed this?? If so do you like the new graphics for it? Or did you like the old ones?

Or am I just plain crazy and seeing things. Somebody please chime in here.

Thanks.

That happened back in retribution.

Tbh the effect itself is fine, but not alone, it needs to bright flashes :D

About wrecks:

Made them modelled after ships: raven battleship model - raven wreck model, merlin frigate model - merlin wreck model.
Wrecks should broke and fly in erratic way, slowly loosing speed.

Explosions:

Bigger! Battleships should end their service with pride, and with blast! In a fireball!

Structures: Quantify the explosions and make structures disperse its body.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Current 'sposions are like a fart in a whirlwind. Gone almost before you notice.

I would prefer ship explosions to be more like when structures go: HUGE BOOM AND GIANT RING OF ENERGY EMANATING OUTWARDS! Exciting, in other words. Also, they should do at least a smarty's worth of aoe damage and slightly jack up drones and damaged frigs, etc.

Yup, the improved explosions are feeble.

Another minor detail in the game that makes a difference.

Would very much like to see bigger and/or better explosions.
Having several different explosions would be even better.

That is impossible.

The Veldnaught is actually a Jove ship with an Amarr paintjob.

Its hull is near indestructable.

The Jove gave Chribba this technology after he acted as a third party broker between them and the Sansha.

BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

What bothers me more is the missile animations. Why don't they just fly straight?? Sad

It needs a bright flare visible from afar, like before.

Without it, new explosions are extremely bad, small, and too short.

I turned ship explosions off because they keep turning the right side of the screen completely white and its hard to see text.

What bothers me more is that people aren't still pissed about torps' not having their old shock wave explosions.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."
